Client Testimonial
(sent via email July 2009)
"I recently had a facelift at your clinic. I am so IMPRESSED with the service I received. You provided the COS-MED SHUTTLE to have my husband and I picked up on a Sunday. You helped us book a beautiful 4 Star Hotel (including a discount) near your Clinic.
The ambiance of COS-MED is so elegant. Every staff member has excellent people skills. Dr. Quiroz took time to explain to me in detail about my upcoming surgery. He mad me fell totally at ease.
I loved the way in which your nurse came in and said "take this pill, it will relax you" the next thing I remember is waking up with the private nurse you provided standing next to my bed, the surgery completed.
The part that really touched my heart was when a florist came to my Hotel room with beautiful flowers sent from COS-MED. You gave great attention to every detail.
COS-MED made the cost of Plastic Surgery so affordable, less than half the cost of what you would pay in the U.S. A big plus in today's economy.
Thank you for making this such a positive experience. Dr. Quiroz's expertise and many years of experience has done wonders for me. I highly recommend COS-MED as the place to go for all your Plastic Surgery needs & desires. --MSG
