I’m beyond pleased 🙂

Karen Monté

Dr. Delgado is a master, and a true artist with incredible skill.

He is caring and a great listener.

I had a lower face and neck lift, and I’m so happy. I look like myself but 10 years back. There are no more vertical lines, gowls, and stringy neck. I don’t know how he did it, but my skin does not look pulled in any way. He even gave me back my little dimple that had turned into a very deep vertical line. Thank you Dr. D. I am forever grateful.
