"⚠️ Serious warning about Dr. Luis Fernando Pedroza I had rhinoplasty with this surgeon, and the result was disastrous and the worst decision I ever made: my nose is crooked and nothing like what we had agreed upon. When I expressed my dissatisfaction, he was rude, told me I “wasn’t God,” and blocked me instead of offering solutions when I asked about the guarantee. Cosmetic surgery should help improve a patient’s self-esteem and quality of life, but in my case, it only left me with insecurities and a terrible experience."

"It looks like they somehow took credit for my five star review of a hotel room! Strange. Room just like photo. Huge bathroom. Very nice service. Great breakfast - ask for fruit instead of juice. Good view. Small gym"

"I had surgery at La Font with Dr Pedro Zerpa on September 14, 2022. I had a very positive experience especially with nurse Nydia Suarez, who cared for me during the night shift. Good food, personal care, nice clean facilities. All OR staff was really nice. Can't complain!"

"To: Dr. Lina Valero Dear Dr. Lina Valero, I would like to thank you once again for your exceptional work you have done for my body, not just looking good but feeling relieved of pain from my spine after you removed those huge boobies I used to have. Wow, it feels so good now! As you might remember I mentioned you I had done a spine surgery 2 years ago and as per my doctor who operated my spine; I was told to remove them. This issue occurred throughout the years of doing my favorite sport of bodybuilding. I used to complete in the category of figure. And as the years when by I was damaging my spine without knowing it. By the time I got my spine surgery done my spine was chattered after so many years of practicing the sport I used to loved and live for… fast forwarding now the removal of my old boobies has been the BEST decision I’ve made! To me you’re the BEST plastic surgeon hands down in Colombia! Professionalism, integrity, honesty, caring and always looking for the BEST interests of your patients! How I felt when I first stepped into your clinic La Font; I felt as one of your family members. Because you took great care of me like if I was your daughter! It’s amazing to feel welcomed specially when you’re far away from home. You took your time to explain me step by step how the surgery was going to get done. Your suggestions were the best as far as what I wanted to have done; and always looking out for my health and a speedy recovery! Your knowledge is greatly appreciated by my husband and myself! And for this reason and many others I highly recommend Dr. Lina Valero to anyone who’s interested in doing plastic surgery at her clinic. Her entire staff are amazing as well! Their main focus is on each patient’s health. Martha is always there guiding you with all the paperwork that needs to be filled out and completed before you get your surgery. Martha is Dr. Lina Valero assistant nurse. She’s very knowledgeable, professional, caring, and always making sure you’re taking care of in anything you might need throughout the process of surgery and after surgery as well! Dr. Lina Valero; may God keep continuing blessings you with health, knowledge so you can keep helping others with their needs just as well you did for me. Thank you once again from the bottom of my heart! With Love, Rita Sequeira Miami, Florida 33134"
