I very been very happy with Dr. Llaurado's care, he is great for cosmetic injections and also had the Perfect Peel (highly recommend). Being a RN for 20 years, I appreciate his excellent bedside manner, he fully explains options and what will best address your areas of concerns. While I have never had a bad outcome from visits to area Medi-Spas, a plastic surgeon truly is best for anything to with your face, I will only use for Dr. Llaurado in the future.

I have been addicted to cutting myself since when I was in middle school up until I was a sophomore in college. I've always been aware that if I wore short sleeves, people would see my scars and stare. Once I knew it was time for me to recover, I went to Doctor Llaurado. He injected my scars with something to make them less noticeable, which I had to do a few times (I forgot the name of what the injection consisted of). To my surprise, they ended up healing so well that I was able to get a tattoo over my scars, which I never thought would happen! Thanks to Doctor Llaurado, something that was

Dr. Llaurado is an excellent Doc for injections and I've been getting them for 20 years, he's the best! Having been pleased with how well he read my face to get the injections just right I asked what he thought surgically for my face and neck. Had him do lower face and neck and I am beyond thrilled with the results.

I would not recommend Dr Llaurado to anyone. Unfortunately, I've trusted him my face and he completely ruined it. He is not a good plastic surgeon, period. I wish I had known about it before I had lied under his knife. Besides, he doesn't take his patients seriously. My advice to you is to stay away from him. Find a better doctor, more qualified. Thank you.

I've been going to Dr. Llaurado for cosmetic injections for a couple of years now, and I'm sanctified with his care and the service his office staff provide.
Dr. Llaurado seems to care very much for the satisfaction of his patients, at least that's my experience. When he sees you, he takes time to listen with empathy what you want to have done, and then he provides his expert opinion. I don't have any complains yet, well maybe my only one is that there's no coffee or snack bar at this office ;)
