“A True "Super-Specialist" - Beverly Hills, CA”

Posted by djoyce

Over a year ago, Dr. Kotler performed functional breathing surgery on my nasal area to address nasal valve stenosis, severe turbinate and septum difficulties. I have been amazed by the degree of improvement I've experienced with my breathing. I had been turned away by many other ENT doctors over the years who said that they couldn't help me and had poor quality ENT surgery performed by an HMO covered doctor about 4 years ago. I had difficulties performing day to day tasks and usually found myself out of breath due to breathing problems. I also had difficulties sleeping because I couldn't breathe well. Since the surgery, I have been amazed by the degree of improvement I've experienced. Dr. Kotler was also encouraging about what could be done to the appearance of the nose with the use of a relatively inexpensive filler. Dr. Kotler has the highest degree of integrity, authenticity and skill. He is a rare find...a true "super-specialist" with many, many years of experience. I am sure that I was probably one of his most difficult patients yet he truly made miracles happen. This had proven to be amazing and has so much benefited my quality of life! Dr. Kotler has far exceeded my expectations and I couldn't be more grateful. Dr. Kotler and his staff have shown an immense sense of regard, support and respect towards me throughout and after the surgical process.

“Excellent Surgeon - Beverly Hills, CA”

Posted by GPS

I was recently involved in an accident in which I broke my nose. I was referred to Dr. Kotler due to his reputation as the best nose surgeon in Beverly Hills. During what was obviously a very stressful time, Dr. Kotler was extremely kind and put me totally at ease, explaining the procedure that I would need to repair my nose in careful detail. The surgery itself was a great success and my nose has completely healed - I am extremely relieved and pleased with the results. The after-care and follow-up consultations have been excellent. The staff in Dr Kotler’s office are very competent and considerate. I cannot recommend this doctor highly enough for anyone considering nasal surgery.

As a Los Angeles resident, I knew I would have many surgeons to choose from. I was adamant that I felt comfortable and trusted the surgeon. I did not want the doctor to be conceited or insensitive, and Dr. Kotler is the last person you would describe as either. The meeting with Dr. Kotler was very reassuring. He immediately told me I was justified in what I wanted to change, and that my requests were reasonable. Dr. Kotler clearly cares about patient education (he's written two books on the subject), and appeared elated to answer the questions my mom and I lobed at him. She's a nurse and I had conducted significant research, so our questions were probing. We left confident that Dr. Kotler was the right surgeon, and I cancelled my second consultation with another well-known doctor. Dr. Kotler's academic credentials and quality of work were obvious, and after the appointment so was his empathy and compassion. I had a conference call with Dr. Kotler the week of surgery to review what I disliked about my nose, and he clearly understood my emerging fear. The night before surgery felt strange, knowing that it was the last time I would fall asleep hating my nose. The anesthesiologist reassured me during our call that I would be fine, and we would have ample time to discuss any concerns in the morning. His demeanor reminded me of Dr. Kotler's.

“Best Surgeon - Beverly Hills, CA”

Dr. Kotler is the most amazing surgeon. He has incredible skill and expertise and his experience priceless. So many of my friends have gone to other doctors for rhinoplasty and ended up not completely satisfied. I am 100% happy with my results and my experience. Dr. Kotler gave me the ideal results and has been a knowledgeable and patient surgeon that genuinely cared to give me the perfect nose. In my opinion it was worth every penny.

Dr. Kotler is amazing and quite skilled at what he does. Dr. Kotler is knowledgeable, friendly, has a fabulous bedside manner, and he's the best in the business for a reason. I would say, he's the only one I would recommend to anyone needing any kind of work done on their nose.

“Life Changing - Beverly Hills, CA”

Posted by Jfried

Thank you Doctor K for providing me with a new life. You have erased all my feelings of self-consciousness, replacing them with self-confidence. Never before have I felt so comfortable in my skin. Now, looking back 25 years old and 6 weeks later after my surgery, I wonder why I had waited so long. After meeting with Doctor K, I instantly knew that he would be performing my surgery. Of all my consultations, Doctor Kotler was there to make sure I felt comfortable with the entire process. He cared about my well being, answered all my questions, and was there 100% of the way, from the moment I stepped into his office for the consultation, until today, 6 weeks later after my surgery. After my surgery, he called me everyday for 5 five days to check up my recovery. Surgery is scary, but Doctor K was there every step of the way to make me feel more at ease. I can’t thank you enough Doctor K for my new nose and my new life! Jane Smith

“The Only Surgeon That Will Ever Touch my Face Again - Beverly Hills, CA”

Non Surgical Nose Job

I found Dr. K after many many months of feeling so disappointed and angry about my decision to get rhinoplasty. I wasn't at all happy with my results after visiting another surgeon in Orange County. I felt defeated and didn't know where to turn. I thought I was just going to have to accept that I had a bad nose job for the rest of my life. I stumbled upon Dr. K's website one day and was excited yet skeptical at the option of having permanent silicon injections. when I called to set up a consultation, I was pleasantly surprised to speak to an assistant of Dr. K's who was extremely educated on my procedure. I drove up from Orange County for the appointment and was nervous the whole way. However, the moment I met Dr. K I knew I had finally come to the right place and all my hesitations were replaced with excitement and an enormous amount of gratitude. Dr. K is not only an amazing surgeon, he's also a really great guy who sincerely care's for his patients. He was honest about the results and the time it would take to get there. The whole process took about 6 months, but even after my first injection I could see a huge difference. I can't even describe how thankful I am that mine and Dr. K's paths crossed. It's a great feeling to look in the mirror at night and not obsess over the imperfections of a rhinoplasty gone wrong. My only regret is not finding Dr. K sooner. I recommend him to everyone I know...and even those I don't. I will NEVER let another doctor come near my face unless it's Dr. K and I would highly recommend everyone else do the same. Sincerely, Dana

Rhinoplasty

I found Dr. K after extensive online research and I am so glad I did! I had spent days researching all kinds of Beverly Hills Doctors. My objective was to find the very best in their field. Since I was looking to have a rhinoplasty I wanted to go to the best of the best, this is your face we’re talking about! I decided to call Dr. K after visiting his website several times, reading his reviews and watching the videos available. Having this information available was a huge relief, I felt like I was getting to know Dr. K before I had even made an appointment and the information was extremely helpful, especially since I am an anxious person by nature. From the moment I called the office I was immediately put at ease. I did not feel rushed or pressure to book a consultation (I had called other offices and did not receive this attention with other doctors I felt rushed and pressure to book the appointment). Doctor K’s staff was able to answer any questions I had about the consultation and what I should expect. And the treatment only gets better. After meeting Doctor K he asked if I had any additional questions or wanted to go over the surgery. I felt completely comfortable speaking with him and knew he was listening to my questions, I did not feel silly for asking anything even the simplest question was answered with care. I decided to undergo surgery both for breathing and cosmetic purposes. To anyone thinking of calling Dr. K- DO IT! Thank You Doctor K!

Non-surgical Rhinoplasty Revision

Given that that 20 to 25 percent of rhinoplasties do not work out, according to the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), what options are open to patients? For some unhappy patients, revision rhinoplasty – doing a nose job over again- means another operation, along with added expenses, time away from work and family and some inconvenience for everybody. But in many cases where no surgery is required on structures inside the nose,...
