Doutor Fernando foi incrível do começo ao fim. O conheci por meio de outro cirurgião plástico que o recomendou como o melhor cirurgião de face em Ribeirão Preto e, como moro no Reino Unido fizemos uma consulta online onde o doutor respondeu todas as minhas duvidas e realizou uma simulação do resultado da minha rinoplastia. Alguns meses depois vim para Ribeirão e realizamos a cirurgia onde o resultado ficou melhor do que esperado. Recomendo de olhos fechados!
