Dr. Giovanni
"I found it magical to improve people's lives."
Listen to why Dr. Giovanni Montoya decided to specialize in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery:
He is a professional by vocation, since his childhood his only desire was to be a doctor.
During his career and years of practice, he decided to become a reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgeon, because the specialty makes him ecstatic to see the incredible change he can achieve in patients and their lifestyle, both in cosmetic surgery and reconstructive surgery of congenital malformations, reconstruction of sequelae of accidents or cancer.
