Dr. Rovelo and her staff are outstanding. They're very kind and courteous. Dr. Rovelo has a compassionate heart. She takes time to explain. She has excellent bedside manner. She's kind and caring and compassionate and she is amazing. She's done so much for me and I am totally grateful for the rest of my life. She did awesome work on my body and she transformed me. The staff is very kind and courteous and they're very respectful and they keep their word. If they said they're going to get back with you, they will definitely get back with you. And they're very all professional, the whole staff there. The young lady that works with her, her name is (name removed). There's a couple other young ladies that work there as well. I don't remember all their names.

Dr. Rovelo is gifted and is an amazing, intelligent doctor. I was truly blessed having her do my surgery. She left my breast looking incredible gorgeous that I no longer have to wear a prosthetic pad to level my breast. I am so extremely happy with her work and the final results. Thank you Dr.Rovelo.???

I really like Dr. Rovelo. What I didn't care for was I left the office with nothing in my hand. I was told that her other office would call and schedule me for the procedure, but that office just keeps sending me emails and I've tried to speak to them and I'm getting no response. Thank you very much.

I just wanted to say that I had a great experience from beginning to end, from the gal who weighed me up until the doctor, and then the gal who took my pictures. It was a great experience, and I would recommend it to any of my family and friends. Thank you.

Rating for timeliness was primarily due to the cyber attack & causing a backlog of appts & seeing patients with more urgent issues.
