Dr. Julio Clavijo made me feel comfortable as soon as I met him. I can’t explain how great of an experience I had. He met all of my expectations, and more. I got a breast augmentation done by him and I could not be happier. I’m 4 weeks post op and I feel amazing! So so thankful!

The office is beautiful. Everyone I met was very nice. Dr. Claudio-alvarez was so informative, and extremely comfortable. I never felt rushed, nor did I have to wait any abnormal amount of time (if even at all). He explained everything about what would need to be done and how, and if there were choices . I was told they will price match if I found someone else to do the job less then their price. I'm looking forward to scheduling my surgery. Juanita Webster

So far I’ve only had a consult, but I am very impressed with the time the doctor spent with me!! He was very thorough in answering my questions and explaining why he thought things should be done a certain way. His staff is friendly and the office is very clean and welcoming. I’m excited to schedule my procedure with Dr. Clavijo!

I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair and liposuction a year ago. It was the best decision I ever made and it was only possible because of Dr. Alvarez. My husband and I spoke with him before and after surgery and he gave us his direct line for any issues or questions we had. Obviously, invasive surgery isn't easy but Dr. Alvarez and his staff were there to answer all my questions and see me whenever I wanted him to reassure me about my recovery. I also had some issues after surgery that he was very attentive and proactive in getting fixed. They even worked my insurance company to cover additional costs. I really cannot say enough good things about my experience. He is the doctor you want by your side to ensure great results.

I recently had rhinoplasty by Dr. Julio Clavijo-Alvarez. This is the second procedure I had with him. My first procedure with him was blephoroplasty in 2016. I started to go to him based on reviews and the amount of blephoroplastys he has done. So it was a no brainer to go to him for my rhinoplasty. When I consulted with him about it I had a slew of request of what I wanted to achieve. However Dr. Julio Clavijo- Alvarez exams my nose and took pictures. He review with me the pictures and was able to pinpoint what exactly was causing me to want a ton of work when I fact it was just a single thing that would correct all the things I disliked. He also walks through an analysis of my nose on an application to show exactly what he would think would offer me the results I wanted and also what a realistic result would be. I initially went into that appointment almost sick to my stomach and worried about what will be done, but after that appointment I left feeling so confident and even more excited than I was before my initial decision to get it done. I left knowing exactly what would be happening and and not only answered all my questions and addressed my concerns but provided information I did not even think to ask. The day of the surgery he marked my nose and explained again what would be happening. His bedside manner is second to none. After the procedure I thought I would be in pain but in fact I did not feel any. He was so gentle that it caused very little discomfort and no pain. He called me personally a few hours after the surgery to check on me. During my follow up appoint a week later he took out the splints and the cast and I got to see my nose. Even though it was still a bit swollen I could see the new slope in my nose and was so excited for it to be healed so I could see the results. I had another follow up a week later and he took picture to compare the before and after and I fell in love with my nose even though I would not see the full impact until around 3 months. I would not recommend any other surgeon for plastic surgery other than him. I did have breast implants done before I went to him and while the experience was ok, I didn't realize that compared to my experience with Dr. Julio Clavijo- Alvarez was not even close to Dr Julio's. The difference made me realize what a surgeon should be doing and I did not receive that level of expertise from my previouse surgeon. I only wish I knew of him during that time so I could have had it done with him. For each procedure I had with Dr. Julio Clavijo- Alvarez I was so educated on what would be happening and the results I would see that I was never left in the dark. Not only would I 100% recommend him for any procedure but his office staff goes above and beyond for you as well. If you are not from the area I still would recommend you travel to him because he is in my opinion the best Dr out there. My experience was amazing and I am so happy with my results.
