Back in the operating room today with Dr. Ivan Santos at Clinica Shaio. Dr. Santos was in perfect form, as always.. (I swear, watching him in the operating room is like watching a conductor with a 160 member orchestra..He sees and notices everything.)

He was assisted by Dr. Julie Alfonso today.

If you want to see & learn more about Dr. Ivan Santos – he has his own YouTube channel.. (It’s in Spanish.)

I like your description of this very handsome surgeon. It is great that he notices everything, that’s as it should be.
I don’t know if you’ve read all my posts about Dr. Santos or about him in the book – but yeah, he’s a pretty “awesome guy” if I can speak freely – and what I tend to think of as ‘master’ of the OR, which seems to be more of a rare thing today.. He is certainly aware of, and in command of everything that goes on – and you are absolutely right – it is a wonderful thing to have!
I’ve seen some of your posts about Dr. Santos. I can appreciate a ‘master’ artiste, whether it be in music, art or the OR. Sounds like he has more than talent, he has a gift. To me a gift is a blessing. So glad he uses it for the betterment of others.
Have a great one.
Have you had work done? I was referred to this doctor by someone one who lives in Columbia.
Thank you, Luanne
In response to this comment, and your emails, Ms. Fahey –
Ms. Fahey,
I would have been happy to assist you, but you seem to be intentionally misunderstanding my work. As I have pages and pages explaining my credentials, methodology and research, I am having a hard time understanding your (emailed) comments.
As I explained in the first email, I have thousands of published pages on plastic surgery, surgery safety as well as extensive healthcare experience. I spend a considerable amount of time in the operating room, observing these surgeons and their evaluating their procedures.. Not only that, but I offer the majority of this information for free to promote patient health, wellness and safety.
But no, I have not been operated on by each of the hundreds of surgeons I have researched. I am sorry if that is not what you came to this website expecting..
Next time, start here.. http://latinamericansurgery.com/start-here/

Has anyone recently had work done by Dr. Santos? How did you communicate and get to talk to him about what you wanted done? Where did you stay? Is it really less expensive? Thank you.
