What People Say:

" I’m writing to you concerning the Secret Garden. For the past year I have been referring patients to the Secret Garden for post operative care from cosmetic plastic surgery. The services offered by your facility are extraordinary and needed for the type of patients that we care for. My experience has been more than positive. All of my patients who have been to your facility have raved about the excellent care they received and how extraordinary the food was. I have had patients that booked for one night and ended up staying for a week. Patients find that their recovery has been great and transition into their homes has been facilitated by the Secret Garden. The special care that your facility has given my patients, including spa services, manicures, massage and special one on one attention, even taking them out to dinner, has been very well received by all. The comments from my patients regarding the Secret Garden have been A plus.

The Secret Garden is a much needed facility that every cosmetic surgeon should have available to them. The recovery period after many of the procedures that we offer to our patients is very important. As a doctor I feel confident sending my patients to the Secret Garden for care after abdominoplasty, liposuction, facelift or rhinoplasty and I know that they are in good hands and I have nothing to worry about. I have also experienced that the patients that do stay at the Secret Garden, don’t call the office during their recovery period as much.

I will continue to send as many patients as I can to your facility. I am very happy with the care and very grateful for what you have done with my patients. I am also very happy to have you in the community, which is an excellent perk. Again thank you very much for the Secret Garden. "

Sincerely,
Luis A Vinas, M.D., F.A.C.S..
