I had Gynecomastia Surgery, it worth the cost and it boosted my confidence. Doctor Firmalo is very cool, accommodating, kind and friendly. When it comes to the cost of surgery I would say it is affordable in my case, I will definitely suggest him to other people seeking also the same treatment that I've been through. Thank you, WhatClinic for having him on your lists of doctors.
Thank you for your kind review. I am happy that I was able to help you with your concerns.
I had a breast augmentation, breast lift and areola reduction procedure done by Dr Vice Firmalo at Centuria Medical Center.Usually, a coordinator or receptionist responds to inquirers but I was very impressed that Dr Firmalo was the one who was in direct contact with my emails. Says a lot about his customer service! Dr Firmalo answered all my questions and concerns via email and was able to book the operation easily. During consultation and pre-op, Dr Firmalo made me feel very comfortable and at ease. He was explaining what the goal and expectations will be after the operation. Post-op, I love my new breasts! Dr Firmalo completely did a make-over for my new sets and I’m so happy with them!He also followed up post-op before and after my returning flight to the US. I felt like I was in great hands from start to finish. Thank you Dr Firmalo and staff. I will definitely come back after baby number 2 in the future because I fully trust Dr Firmalo and his team.
Thank you very much for your very good review. The best reward for me is a happy patient and I am honored by your words.
I had a gynecomastia surgery at this clinic. Before the surgery, Dr Firmalo checked if my body was in good condition. The surgery took 3 hours, but I didn't notice the time under the anaesthesia. The doctor is really cool. After the surgery, I was able to rest for 3 days before going to work again. If I feel uneasy about anything, I can just contact Dr Firmalo and ask about it - his replies are always really fast. He knows what he’s doing and what his patients are going through. I'd recommend him to anyone who's suffering from the same problem I had. I chose this clinic because of its good reviews and its location - the clinic is quite accessible. Dr Firmalo and the nurses were all great - all very helpful. The facilities are also lovely, and everything looks new and sanitized.
I am pleased with your experience. Thank you for your kind words. The team always try to do our best for our patients.
I've been doing some exercises targeting the chest for quite some time and have been steadily caught up with work. Being occupied most of the time with my job on a computer and finding myself often having a hard time to hit the gym, I've researched online and had come to a conclusion/opinion for more than a year, based on various reliable sources, that the easiest and fastest way to get rid of these unwanted fatty tissues on the chest is through cosmetic surgery procedure. Although I have my doubts and fear of going under the knife since I haven't been admitted for any surgery before, I thought to myself that in the long run, if everything that I've read is true, this procedure will be worth it, given that I will pursue the right doctor, hospital and in my behalf, discipline of following their instructions after surgery. I am now at my second-week post-op, healing and I am confident enough of having a good final outcome knowing that I've gone to a very good doctor. My decision of going with the procedure with Dr. Firmalo had been met with different factors; after reading, asking, comparing online, I haven't had the leisure of taking time going through a lot of doctors in Manila personally since I was working out of the country and had to resort online, which I find perfectly suitable enough in my case. Perhaps due to my fear of going under the knife, I aimed that I will only warrant a "good, licensed and experienced doctor" to perform the surgery on my body. Not only did Dr. Firmalo met the criteria I am looking for, aside from his expertise and profession, medical distinction and accolades, his exceptional interpersonal skills and the natural propensity of his character of being warm and open, especially the moment I met him in person makes my journey with the surgery easier. He makes sure that his client is well-informed enough of what he is about to undergo and takes his time patiently to understand the needs of his clients with discreteness of their case. Another thing is his fees are very competitive (I opted and went under general anesthesia). Moreover, he even offers to use my medicare to help lower down the cost, of which I am very, very thankful. Nonetheless, he makes time, which is very crucial in my case. I am only left with less than a week to do the procedure and almost getting hopeless of not making it before I fly out. Next thing I knew I was already out of the hospital and healing. I really appreciated it, even late at night he would entertain my inquiries through SMS and email them and help to map out the schedule for the remaining days I left. Probably there are list of other good things I missed sharing why I chose Dr. Vic (like having good staffs at the clinic, extending his service from professional to personal like offering to pick me up when I'm caught in traffic, etc.), but sufficient enough to say that I have a pleasant journey with my surgery with him. I feel like after the surgery, of which I rarely find in doctors nowadays he is more than a doctor to me and became a good friend.
Thank you very much! Patient safety and satisfaction is of paramount importance to me.
This Dr is one of a kind! He made a double mastectomy with nipple graft to me. Thank you so much for the difference you made in my life and for all of your patients. Your kindness, sincere and caring makes everything better. I will never forget the service you provided all throughout. He always makes sure that I am well and never fail to check on me too. He is very humble and always right after health first. Thank you again! :)
Thank you very much for your good rating. Safety is paramount always. I am glad you are satisfied with your surgery.
A very accommodating doctor who gives honest and specific answers to your questions.
Thank you very much, mam. Looking forward to meeting you soon.
Very satisfied and happy mommy after the tummy tuck. I can’t imagine what the difference of my tummy before and after surgery. Never regret that I choose him.Again thank you Doc especially for the quick recovery everybody was surprised how I was able to do many things even few days. I appreciated so much for being responsive and concerned while I’m in recovery period. I highly recommended this surgeon.
I browsed the web, searching for doctors and his name came up.My experience with Dr. Vice was truly a pleasure. I'm so grateful because he made the procedure very calm and breezy. I didn't feel any pain during and after the operation, I felt safe."He was very kind and accommodating. I highly recommend doc Vice.
Thank you very much, Ms Uy for your review. It was a pleasure.
I am very happy that I chose Dr Vice Firmalo for my Tummy tuck/Arm & jawline lipo/fat transfer to the lips and chin/buccal fat removal. He was very responsive during pre-op and is even more responsive post-op. Hands-on, personable doctor, with no sense of arrogance, he will make you feel very at ease. I can't thank him enough for his kind and thoughtful concern in regard to my health and for providing me with excellent medical and physical care. My surgery went really well, healed faster than expected and to my surprise, I didn't feel a single pain. Choosing a board-certified Surgeon really makes a difference. Achieving the body and result I desire without any fear and that feeling of "yeah it's with Dr vice so I'm safe", are non-negotiable. Can't wait to plan my surgery again and only with Dr. Vice next year.
Spoke with 4 board-certified plastic surgeons and only with my consult with Dr. Vice Firmalo at Medical City South Luzon that I felt at ease. Plainly and simply…nothing fancy of words, he was confident and passionate of his craft as our conversation went and I knew he was my doctor of choice! The result…Exquisite! I am one-month post-op as of this writing and giggling on how happy I am with seeing those contours unfolding…and even more excited in the coming weeks or months as it completely heals inside out. Thank you Dr. Firmalo. PS. You’ll definitely enjoy good laughs with him on your follow-up visits as he’s has a good sense of humour too. He is also just a message away for all pre and post-op concerns.
