mrs c argyrou - marbella - blepharoplasty
when I went for my initial consultation and spoke to the Surgeon, he really put me at ease, he was very calm and explained everything in great detail. I felt that Mills & Mills and the. Surgeon was the right choice for me to have my surgery with.
I found everyone really lovely and helpful. My initial consult was with Sian, then I was in contact several times with Amanda, and I saw Peter as well. They were all excellent, and I would like to thank them for everything.

miss gibson - bournmouth- upper and lower blepharoplasty and septo-rhinoplasty
The initial consultation was very informative although the surgeon I saw was not the surgeon who completed my procedures. Amanda Stokes was really helpful and I spoke to her a few times before proceeding. Mills & Mills were very professional and yet also very informal and friendly
Dr Giraldo is such a lovely man. His bedside manner is fantastic and he made me feel really at ease. He even provided his mobile number and personal email address in case I needed to discuss anything with him when I got home. Amanda Stokes is really friendly and helpful and was always available during my stay. Also, Mike the chauffeur is a very friendly face to greet you at the airport. He was also very helpful and happy for me to contact him at any time if I needed anything.
On arrival I was still not 100% sure whether I would go through with the rhino-septoplasty but after meeting with Dr Giraldo and for a consultation I had no doubt that I was safe in his hands. He explained every part of the procedure, even drawing pictures to help me understand. He made me feel like an old friend.

miss s jaques- hertfordshire - breast augmentation
I had consultations with Harley Medical Group and Transforming Lives but the appeal of Marbella and the sunshine was what attracted me to Mills.
I proceeded with Mills as I felt 100% comfortable talking to Dr Mendoza and she listed to what I wanted and explained everything thoroughly. I would highly recommend her and if I ever wanted more surgery I wouldnt hesitate in rebooking with her and Mills.
The overall service I received from Mills was 10 out of 10, the care they give you is second to none and as I have said previously, I would highly recommend them to anyone who was considering Breast Augmentation or any other surgery if they were wanting a relaxing environment to recoup, 100% trust in their surgeon and care from staff that is fab then they need to come to Mills! You have the added bonus of sunshine to relax in rather than the upredictable UK weather and they are only at the end of the phone if you need to ask a question during your stay there.
I loved my experience of having BA at Mills. The nursing staff were absolutely fantastic, they always had a smile on their face, Peter was fab and so was Amanda, even if I did give her grief ;-) but the one person I would like to thank again is Dr Mendoza. She is amazing, she listens to what you want and if she doesnt think it will look how you want it, she explains the closest she can get and I took her advice and am so so happy with the results, thanks again for all your patience in getting me to this point. Thanks again Sarah xx

paula garcia-london-breast augmentation
How are you?
I wanted to thank you again for everything. Your hospitality was amazing and all the Mills&Mills people have all been amazing. Even Michael, the driver, was ever so nice and a pleasure to talk to. I had a truly great experience and will be recommending you to absolutely everyone. It is all worth it believe me. I now feel like a woman and can't wait to start buying loads of new clothes (the sexy, gorgeous clothes I was never able to buy before, as they looked ridiculous on me). Can't wait!!!! Someone's going to look good.. and all thanks to Mills&Mills and the fabulous, fantastic, gorgeous, amazing smelling, patient and very professional Dr. Russo! He's amazing!
My mum's also very impressed with the treatment we've been given and how amazing the clinic looked. She's planning to let Dr.Russo transform her next year. She can't wait!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Speak to you soon!

miss m johnstone- marbella- breast augmentation and belpharoplasty
Just wanted to say thank you to all the Staff at Mills and Mills Medical. I was originally recommended by someone and after a lot of research decided to go through with the Surgery. The Staff there are very professional and the clinic was top class.
My Surgeon was Dr. Brianda Mendoza. She was fantastic, very informative and knew exactly what I wanted. I was so impressed with the BA that I returned six months later and had the same surgeon operate on my upper and lower eyes. The results of both ops were amazing.
Peter and Amanda looked after me so well, doing their best to make sure I was comfortable and well post op. Even when I had questions after I was out of the Clinic they couldn’t have been more helpful and continue to do so. They made me feel totally relaxed and I knew I was in good hands.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Mills and Mills. Thanks again.

mrs l brodie - sotogrande- facelift with upper and lower blepharoplasty
I first spoke to Mills and Mills at their stand at the Estepona exhibition and was impressed with the information which was given without pressure. I felt confident with the Consultation information , all my questions were answered, and again didn't feel under pressure. Dialogue continued via e.mail and nothing was left unanswered, I was given names of people to contact who had had the surgery , and they were all positive. So , after many years of talking about it I acted.
I am hoping that I can continue to have confidence to enquire in anything else I may need. I will certainly recommend you to people who ask me, I haven't kept it a secret so have no hesitation in giving your contact numbers. Many Thanks

mrs j simpson - london - facelift and blepharoplasty
I just wanted to say thank you so very much for your help and support.
We couldn't have asked for better support and felt we were with trusted friends. I was disappointed not to see you before we left and do hope your migraine didn't last too long.
We see improvements every day and are amazed at how quickly I am recovering. Today I made my first venture out knowing I would see a couple of people I know, the first said she didn't recognise me at first, I looked so different. I'm not sure if she believed the new hairstyle/holiday/tan excuse and the second just looked a little puzzled, but made no comment. I didn't really intend to tell anyone about my surgery, however, after looking at my before and after photo's which Amanda advised ,I'm not sure I'll get away with it.

mrs m chatterton-leeds-facelift and blepharoplasty
Did a lot of research into the company. After meeting David Mills and Dr Vricella I felt confident that I was in sfe hands.
Everyone was great ,in particular Mike the driver was very kind and helpful,Peter and Amanda were very supportive and one of the nurses, a Spanish lady (sorry I don't know her name) was such a star. As for Marco Vricella - the Pope should make him a saint ! So a very big "thank you" to everyone.

mrs j blayney, newcastle ,rhinoplasty
I decided on Location to recuperate away from home
Dr Marco Vricella has done a wonderful job. I am absolutly delighted with the outcome. The change in my nose is subtle and I love it! I wish I had done it years ago.
Debbie, Sian, Peter and Amanda were lovely to me and I felt very comfortable in their company. Very friendly and appraochable. I have already recommended Mills and Mills to two friends who are interested in breast surgery and a tummy tuck. I look forward to coming out to be with them when they decide to 'go for it'. I would have no problem in recommending Marco as a confident, competent surgeon. A little note for the chef...As expected my throat was particulary sore after the operation and I would have loved Ice cream!

miss a charteris-somerset-breast augmentation and mastopexy
I wanted to use a company that wasn't too expensive but was still good quality.
A big thank you to Peter and Amanda for looking after me so attentively and doing their best to make sure I was comfortable and well post op.
I was very impressed with the level of service from the Nurses as they looked after me during my stay at the clinic. I have had a previous operation in the UK and the level of service at Mills was far superior than at the UK private clinic. They always had a smile on their faces no matter how many times during the night that I disturbed them! A big thank you to them!

mrs j dunkley- kent -abdominoplasty , liposuction and breast augmentation
After much internet research and discussion with my GP of my findings, I decided to go with Mills & Mills.
Of course Dr Vricella is a miracle worker, Amanda, Peter, Debbie and especially Mike (and Tina) who took us into their home as our flight was a long time after departure from the hotel - words cannot express my gratitude to everyone at Mills & Mills for their kindness shown to myself and my daughters at this time

mrs t goldthorpe -london- abdominoplasty with breast augmentation and uplift
Can you tell Dr Marco Vricella he is a genius, the results that I have are amazing considering the condition of my skin when he started.
I decided to go with Mills and Mills because of the fact that the initial appointment was in the UK and most importantly the post op appointments are in the UK.
The Co ordinators where very good , always kept in touch and answered any questions needed

Mrs D Rowson , south yorkshire, breast augmentation
I write regarding my wifes recent visit for Breast Augmentation surgery at your hospital.
The whole process from pre op care through to follow up after surgery was professionally handled, and we coudnt have been happier with the results.
The staff were kind, courteous and instilled confidence.
It was our first experience of surgery in another country but anay fears we might have had were quickly dispelled.
We could not recommed the Mills and Mills group more highly.
My wife looks fantastic and it has improved both of our lives !
We wish Mills and Mills all the success for the future , they certainly deserve it.

mrs c page, northumberland, facelift with blepharoplasty
After seeing the premises, meeting the staff and Dr Marco Vricella, I and my husband had no hesitation in coming to the right decision of using the Mills and Mills medical group.
I cannot praise the quality of the services high enough from Amanda, Peter, Debbie and Dr Vricella. Last, but certainly not least the nursing staff - all wonderful. I was made to feel very welcome and the simple touch of Dr Vricella's hand on my arm was very reassuring and relaxed me tremendously.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Mills and Mills. The staff whilst being very professional and employed by the company are like a big family rather than emplyee's. I now have the privilege of joining the 'Circle of Friends'

sandra south london blepharoplasty
I had arranged to have a blepharoplasty and was extremely nervous regarding the whole procedure but need not have worried. From arriving at the airport to leaving to return home the team at Mill & Mills could not have been more helpful. Sian met me at the airport, greeting me like you would a friend and this continued throughout my stay from the rest of the team. Amanda was there for, it seemed, my every whim, organising everything for me. Doctor Vricella was superb and the operation was a great success - a very big 'Thank you' to each and every one of you!
February 6 2009
The night Nurses were very good and Dr Bolander looked after me very well.
Mills and Mills seemed friendly helpful and reassuring plus I was offered a good price.
