Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Alfonso changed my life. He preformed my breast augmentation with lift to correct a congenital defect that has bothered me my entire life. I was very nervous about the surgery, and he made sure I was comfortable with everything, and I didn’t feel pressured. My results are amazing, I couldn’t be happier, only 4 weeks out!

From the minute I walked into his office, Dr. Alfonso made me feel comfortable and safe to ask any and all questions. The results are astounding and I could not be happier. The staff in his office are wonderful. I would, and have, recommended Dr. Alfonso to anyone interested in a procedure.

I would highly recommend Dr Alfonso for any surgery you may be contemplating. He has transformed my body from frumpy to gorgeous in a matter of hours. I have struggled my whole life with weight issues. I have gained and lost 50 pounds at least 4 times along with 2 pregnancies. There was no bouncing back with my midriff. I hated how I looked. I had a lower body lift. Now I am still shocked when I look in the mirror! I love my body, finally. My only regret is I wished I had done it sooner.

A few years ago I went to have my legs done with Dr Alfonso. This area of my body has been something I have always been self conscious of. He assured me he could fix it. After the initial surgery he has done two more to try to correct his mistakes and several sessions of kybella injections. I am now suck with a bunch of scars and botched legs. I am now more self conscious of them and have paid thousands of dollars for this. Really disappointed.

I was in a car accident which put me in a neck & back brace for 6 months. In a effort to reduce the pain in my back (it broke in the MVA) I scheduled an appt. with Dr. Alfonso for a Breast Reduction. From the first appointment Dr. Alfonso was extremely professional and very competent. I am very pleased with the entire process and am thankful that I found Dr. Alfonso.

After years of neck/shoulder/back pain, frequent migraines, in addition to body image frustration Dr. Alfonso has made it possible for me to truly live my life to the fullest! This breast reduction outcome is exceptionally natural to my overall body structure. I still catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and smile from this new appearance!

I couldn't be happier with my tummy tuck and breast augmentation. Dr. Alfonso took so much time with me at my initial consultation, he made me feel comfortable explaining the procedures, showing my a presentation that included before and after pictures. He was completely professional and understood the expectations that I had for my procedures.

I visited Doctor Alfonso for a consultation on a breast reduction. He was very knowledgeable and thorough in my evaluation as a good candidate. He was honest, kind and very professional. I had the breast augmentation done and it was one of the best decisions ever. Dr. Alfonso did an amazing job, recovery was easy and my incisions are healing nicely. All the information Dr. Alfonso provided me was very accurate and I couldn't be happier.

Dr. Alfonso is a wonderful doctor. He is caring and was very detailed about clarifying all my doubts of the possible procedures I could undergo for the results I desired. His work is masterful! I had a lower body lift and his care and attention before, during and after the procedure is exceptional. He truly understood what my vision was and yet his expertise delivered results above and beyond my expectation. Un excelente doctor con un profesionalismo excepcional. Su trabajo es impecable.

Dr. Alphonso was able to create matching breasts for me, a feat I never thought possible. He explained the process from the beginning and every step of the way, the pre-op drawing was done with precision, and the surgery was extremely successful. He took the time to answer all my questions and concerns, and even called me the evening I had my surgery inquiring how I was doing. I felt to be in good hands this entire process with Dr. Alphonso. I am truly blessed to have been referred to him.

My surgery was explained well,,,,, pre op information was clear, on surgery date I was treated like a queen, very professional, thourough in detail , support staff knowledgeable, aenethesiologist: excellent at listening to my needs. Follow up has been attentive. My result is natural and what I wanted. Dr. Alfonso has been gentle and caring. My only complaint is Barb at the front desk was very abrupt and snide when I came in with a question/comment .

I became aware of Dr. David Alfonso through the recommendations of his peers. Both my OB/GYN & Surgical Oncology Team encouraged me to consult w/him for my prophylactic bilateral mastectomy/reconstruction. After 4 mos. of care, I now understand why he is held in such high esteem by the medical community. His technical adeptness is matched only by his compassion, & his immense good fortune in having Jillian as his Nurse/Asst. Intuitive, brilliant, honest, steadfast. She is the port in the storm.
