Dr. Careaga was truly the greatest decision I could have made for myself. From the very first moment, he made me feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. His calm way of explaining everything gave me so much peace, and his professionalism and attention to detail are on another level. I am deeply grateful and honestly emotional when I think about how beautiful my results are—his hands are truly magical. I would trust Dr. Careaga again without hesitation, and I recommend him with allmyheart

My experience with the Dr. and his staff has been beyond excellent. Leticia one of the nurses that works at Dr. Careaga office is excellent. She knows how to treat the drs patient and make them feel at easy when follow ups were required. I would recommend Dr. Careaga and his office staff with my eyes closed.

There are a ton of fake reviews here. Just read them! Tons of copy and pasted, repetitive, fake reviews. He should invest more in quality work than fake reviews online. His work is NOT good, he is not an artist in his craft (every plastic surgeon should be!) and he is rude on top. Avoid at all costs.

Me siento muy afortunada de haber llegado a esta clínica y elegirla como mi primera y única option. Gracias Dr Daniel por su lindo trabajo, su atención. Gracias por su esfuerzo y dedicación a esta hermosa carrera. De mi parte puedo decir que valió la pena el trompo y el sacrificio dedicado a estudiar tanto. Gracias también a todo el personal de la clínica que de alguna manera me atendió. Todos son extraordinarios. Fui tratada con mucho amor, respeto y profesionalidad. Los llevo en mi corazón.

Hola hace cuatro meses el doctor me realizó una reducción y levantamientos de mamás, en todo este tiempo he tenido un punto infestado y solo me han recomendado triple antibiótico , ya era tiempo que esto estuviera resuelto , pero solo que será absorbido , además un pezon quedó más elevado que el otro. Respuesta del doctor que yo tenía mis senos antes de la cirugía así, y para que me realice una cirugía estética ? en conclusión mis resultados no han sido satisfactorios , la atención del todo el personal ha sido muy adecuada.

Eternally Thank you! Without a doubt the best choice I made. Doctor Careaga and his entire team do an excellent job, with a lot of human quality, from the moment you enter the attention and tranquility they transmit is what I was looking for... A month ago the doctor performed a tummy tuck on me, giving me peace of mind and taking care of every detail, my operation, recovery and result have been spectacular. I reiterate my thanks and I recommend it to anyone who wants to be in the best hands.

Mi cirugía fue aumento de senos hace ya casi 2 años con Careaga , pienso que no quiso ponerme más de 330 cc porque supuestamente no tenía espacio a lo que después de 6 meses me dijo que podía ponerme mas si yo quería, algo que me frustró un poco porque lo que yo le pedí desde un inicio eran 350cc y el no estuvo de acuerdo , luego de 6 meses me dijo que podía poner hasta 415 pero q debía pagar la cirugía completa entonces no entendí nada ! El caso no era mi espacio el caso era que quería operarme de nuevo y q pagara nuevamente ! Mi experiencia no fue mala pero no me sentí del todo bien por estas mismas cosas , la peor experiencia que tuve fue cuando desperté de la anestesia , la enfermera que m atendió fue un poco grocera y ruda ,el dr es un poco arrogante
