Dr. Mateo performed a breast augmentation, chin liposuction and auxiliary (braline) liposuction on me. He has extremely good bedside manner and is super personable. I had specific requests for my breasts and it required me to put full faith in him as my surgeon to execute it properly. Without a doubt, he absolutely nailed it. I am so happy with my results. He took what was in my mind and brought it to life and I didn’t think it was possible. Extremely pleased and would highly recommend Dr. Mateo to anyone looking to have plastic surgery done by a doctor who cares.

I don’t know how to really put into words what Dr. Mateo and his staff at North Florida plastic surgery has done for me. Ranking someone five stars does not seem like enough for the way you are treated when you walk into this office. From the moment you call, to the moment you see any of the staff, to the moment you meet Dr. Mateo, you are treated with respect and never made to feel ashamed of what you were there for. So far, I am one month into my journey and I’m extremely happy with everything. So I would give 10 stars if it allows me to. This is why I am referring anyone that I know to this office.

Dr. Mateo at North Florida Plastics truly changed my life. I had an arm lift procedure done, and I am beyond impressed with the results. His work is absolutely perfect natural, precise, and exactly what I hoped for. From the very beginning, Dr. Mateo made me feel comfortable, heard, and confident in my decision. For so long I was self-conscious about my arms, hiding them and feeling uncomfortable in my own skin. Now, I feel confident and proud of my body again. I can finally wear what I want without hesitation. The care, professionalism, and attention to detail from Dr. Mateo and his team were exceptional every step of the way. I am so grateful for this experience and highly recommend Dr. Mateo to anyone considering a procedure. He doesn’t just change appearances, he helps restore confidence and self-love.

Dr. Mateo is the best! He explains every procedure clearly and makes sure you fully understand what’s in your best interest. He’s always up to date on the latest medical guidance and practices, and he takes the time to answer every question. He’s friendly and truly makes you feel like more than just a patient. I always leave feeling informed, supported, and confident in my care, not only just with him but his entire team!

I recently had a breast augmentation with Dr. Mateo, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience! From the very first consultation, Dr. Mateo made me feel heard, respected, and completely comfortable. He took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly and helped me understand every part of the process. His staff is just as amazing. kind, professional, and incredibly supportive throughout the journey. My results exceeded my expectations. Dr. Mateo’s attention to detail and skill gave me exactly what I was hoping for. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Mateo and his team. They truly care about their patients and deliver outstanding care from start to finish!
