Dr. V and Sheena are the best! I could easily go somewhere by my house in Oakland Park but I drive to Miami just for them. I feel very taken care of by them. They are amazing!

I have the best experiences with Dr. Valladares. He is an excellent doctor. I am super happy with my results. I recommend him 100%. He is a very professional Dr. and dedicated to his patients. I have never had a Dr. who took the time to call his patients. Dr. Valladares gave me his phone number for any questions. emergency, very few doctors do that, if not almost none, do not hesitate to call him, he is super friendly, I am sure they will not repeat themselves

Después de muchos intentos durante años, por circunstancias raras llegue al doctor Valladares! Gracias por hacerse cargo y por comprometerse conmigo en un cambio real! Ni siquiera el balón gástrico me había funcionado, y realicé un tratamiento por 5 meses y perdí 30 libras, el doctor y Sheena la dietista han sido increibles conmigo! Te acompañan paso a paso en el proceso, son amables y pacientes y siempre te ayudan. Búsquenlo directamente a su oficina Y pregunten por Sheena. Excelente equipo!

Dr. Valladares is one of the best in his field and was always available when I needed him. I am incredibly pleased with the outcome of my procedure. After my surgery, he was always there to answer any minor or major questions and provided support which made me feel confident and comfortable before, during and after the procedure. I would highly recommend Dr. Valladares to anyone considering getting their body done. Thank you, Dr. Valladares, for a job well done!

I am a bariatric patient from 2015 I had gained some weight back so my first thing to consider is a revision Dr. VALLADARES is more then just a provider he is a friend I am very comfortable with him and he’s not just out to take your money he could have just agreed to the revision and just took my money but instead he gave me options a lot of them some expensive some not so expensive I trust his recommendations he’s a Doctor that really care and put you first!
