“Rhinoplasty for Breathing Problems and Asymmetry”

Rhinoplasty

"Dr. is a phenomenal surgeon. He made me feel very comfortable when I had my consultation. He listened to my goals and also gave me his expert opinion. His experience and great reputation put me at ease to have rhinoplasty. Now I am so happy about the results of my surgery. I was so impressed by both his professionalism and his ability to be so personable. He really listened to me and was also excited about my surgery and the outcome he anticipated. It was a wonderful experience!"

“Life Changing! - Dallas, TX”

Rhinoplasty

"I wanted to make sure that I properly researched which doctor I wanted to visit and decided that Dr. Cochran was the choice hands down. I was very nervous going in, and left feeling very comfortable about the procedure. I was surprised and amazed at how simple and affordable everything was and scheduled my surgery for the following month. Let me also say that you aren't going to find another doctor who cares more about his patients. It's a pleasure to have been under his care as it's obvious this isn't just a job for him, it's his passion! I'm thrilled with the results and ever thankful to Dr. C and the awesome staff at the Gunter Center! Thanks so much for changing my life!"

“Would Not Change A Thing - Dallas, TX”

Rhinoplasty

"As a physician, I thought long and hard about the risks of having an "elective" procedure. I have had breathing issues since I was a child, and recently began having dental issues as a result. When I decided to have these fixed, along with some cosmetic fixes, I did my research. I knew that Dr. Gunter was "The Nose Man" in Dallas, but after looking at pictures, I preferred the style/aesthetics that Dr. Cochran achieved. After meeting him, he convinced me that he could accomplish the result I was looking for. The result has been amazing."

“Talented and Caring - the Best!”

Rhinoplasty

"Dr. C has done a wonderful job finding out exactly what I wanted and what would go well with my face. I had a wonderful experience at the surgery facility used. Everything has been so technologically advanced from the 3d simulations to the techniques Dr. C used to correct all my nasal issues. The best thing about this Doctor and office is that they have been so responsive anytime I have had questions or concerns. When I call to speak to Jane (the nurse) she always answers my question and offers to schedule an appointment for me to see Dr.C. They never make you feel like it's an inconvenience and I really appreciate that. I would recommend Dr. C to anyone interested in nose surgery. He is so competent and by far the most sincere doctor I have ever worked with. He is so kind and caring and genuinely excited about the results."

“Dr. C Was Worth the 6 Hour Drive - Dallas, TX”

Rhinoplasty

"Dr. C was fantastic, he did a wonderful job. My only regret is that I did not have this done years ago. He was the surgeon for my rhinoplasty and I also had him pin my ears back. I am so pleased with the outcome, it has been only 4 weeks and I feel very comfortable being out in public. Honestly, I was going out to eat less than two weeks post-op and I felt comfortable. His bedside manner was great and I love the fact that their office has 3D technology. You are able to get a really good idea of what your nose will look like after surgery (especially from the profile). I found this helps me communicate with Dr. C so much better. His staff is very professional and responsive. I had a question, so I emailed the staff late one night. Dr C called me the next morning to answer my questions. If there was anyone that was thinking about getting this procedure done, I would recommend getting a consultation with Dr. C. We drove about 6 hours to have him do this, I would have driven much further (you don't want to get on a plane the day after surgery). All I have to say is thank you so much Dr. C, you have given me a new sense of confidence that I have not had before."

“Two Weeks Post-op - Dallas, TX”

"First off, I just want to say Dr. Cochran had the best bed side manner I have ever experienced. I did extensive research after deciding to go through with my rhinoplasty/septoplasty and decided to go with Dr. C the minute after leaving the consultation. He took the time to answer all of my questions and even used software to show me what the results would look like. I am 2 weeks postop tomorrow and still very swollen but am beginning to see the shape of my new nose and am so very excited for time to fly by so I can see the final result. It just keeps getting better everyday. The best part of my experience was being able to hear the excitement in Dr. Cochran's voice as he walked into my room post op and told me how great the surgery went. That immediately provided me a comfort that no one else could at that time. I highly recommend him for anyone contemplating rhinoplasty. Remember you get what you pay for and since the nose is the center of your face I definitely recommend doing your research. Dr. Cochran is worth every penny and even though I know I won't have to (because I am COMPLETELY satisfied) I would go to him again in a heart beat. I will be starting a blog at my four month post op that will include weekly photos to show everyone the swelling/bruising process!"

“Amazing Doctor and Staff - Dallas, TX”

Revision Rhinoplasty

"Dr. listened carefully to what I wanted. Revision rhinoplasties are obviously more complicated than first-time procedures, and I did a lot of research to make sure I had the best surgeon. I'm so glad Dr. C was within driving distance, although it would have been worth a plane flight to see him."

“Revision Rhinoplasty - Dallas, TX”

Revision Rhinoplasty

"Revision rhinoplasty is much more complicated than primary rhinoplasty so I knew I needed a very experienced and skilled doctor. After researching and consulting with Dr. C, I was confident I had found the right surgeon. I am beyond thrilled with my results, he definitely exceeded my expectations! Not only is he a phenomenal surgeon but he truly is an artist and I have never met a doctor with a better bedside manner. He is a very compassionate and attentive doctor! My entire experience with Dr. C himself, his staff, and the team of doctors and nurses at the surgical center was wonderful! I cannot say enough great things about this surgeon and recommend him to everyone!"

“Rhinoplasty Gave Me a New Nose and a New Confidence”

Rhinoplasty

"He was professional, polite and pleasant. He took time to answer all my questions and never made me feel rushed. Before the surgery, I was shown what my nose was likely to look like after the procedure, so I went into the surgery with a rough idea of what the end result would be. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering a rhinoplasty."

“Rhinoplasty W/ Endoscopic Sinus Surgery”

Rhinoplasty

"He's one of the best in his field, and his bedside manner is unbeatable. He truly is a great doctor. He treats surgery and your nose as if it were a piece of art he was creating--amazing! He's also very good at describing complex medical things in a way that you can easily understand. He is probably the best doctor I've ever worked with. The patient care team (Nurse Jane and Patient Coordinator Lisa) were also very, very helpful in working with me and answering every question I had. It was truly a great experience, and I doubt another plastic surgeon knows noses as well as Dr. C!"

“Highly Recommend - Dallas, TX”

"I did a lot of research and went to several doctors before choosing Dr. Cochran for my rhinoplasty. He was actually recommended to me by another plastic surgeon. I hadn't felt comfortable with any doctor until I met him. He was confident and very reassuring. He completely put me at ease. I was not even nervous before the surgery because I had so much confidence in him. His nurse, Jane, was great and answered all my emails quickly. His office definitely makes you feel like they are there for you anytime you have questions or concerns. It's been 6 weeks since my surgery and I love my new nose. It's perfect for my face. I would highly recommend Dr. Cochran to anyone considering rhinoplasty."

Septoplasty

"From start to finish, Dr. C and his staff at the Gunter Center prepared me for nose surgery. The presurgery visit, presurgery preparation, insurance filing, surgery center itself and staff there, and follow up visits were the strongest of patient care and administrative flow. Dr. C has an amazing personality and the surgical expertise, which makes him easy to refer to anyone considering a nose surgery!"

Septoplasty

"I am a well educated professional that does my research. I look back at my experience with Dr. C as working with a true professional and artist that deeply cares about the individual. He sensed my unease about surgery, called me late the night before to assure me. If you considering either, take a hard look at Dr. C. You get what you pay for in this world and Dr. C and his team is worth every penny."

“Dr. C "Nose" Noses - Dallas, TX”

"Dr. C is AWESOME! I had 2 other rhinoplasty consults in Ohio before choosing him after we moved to Texas. I'm very swollen as I literally had surgery one week ago today, but you can just tell that with his skills, I know in 4months-1year I'm gonna be very happy with the results. I'm praying for time to fly by."

My nose looks perfect. I knew that he really cared about me as a person not just a patient. It was the best experience I could have asked for."

“Very Happy - Dallas, TX”

Rhinoplasty

"My PS and his clinic were amazing. I felt very comfortable (and yes excited too) after meeting with him. Being 1.5 months out, people say they cant tell I had anything done - like it doesnt look like I had a "nose job" and litrally gush over how good it looks. I was a little high maintenance at times because I couldnt decide whether to go the insurance route or pay cash (I also had a deviated septum repair) and his office was very patient with my indecisiveness. I did not wait forever the morning of surgery to actually go into surgery either. I love that Dr C only does noses too. He is very good."

“Revision Rhinoplasty - Dallas, TX”

"A couple years ago I had a rhinoplasty with another surgeon in the Dallas area. I was very unsatisfied with the result and regretted allowing this surgeon to revise my nose several times after the initial surgery. After realizing that I needed another surgery, I decided to really do my research. I decided to meet with Dr. Cochran at the renowned Gunter Center. He was like a breath of fresh air. He was patient and even met with me several times before my surgery. Immediately after the operation, even with the cast on my face, I could tell how beautiful my nose would be. I am now 2 months post op and my nose is exceeding my expectations. Dr. C is truly an artist of the face and has a caring, patient, and attentive nature unknown to many doctors today. If you're having work done on your face, you want an expert. Dr. C is the person to trust, he is worth every penny!"

Rhinoplasty

"I will never forget Dr. Cochran removing the inner splits and being shocked at the amount of air that was flowing through my nose! I said 'is this what normal people breathe like!?' and for the first time (and the rest of my life!) I will have the most amazing, functional, proportionally-beautiful nose! I highly, HIGHLY recommend anyone to choose Dr. Cochran! He is so kind, humble and genuinely cared about me as a patient."

“Amazing! - Dallas, TX”

"I think that I truly found the best doctor. He correct my deviated septum perfectly and also enhanced the look of my entire nose all at the same time. Not only did I have great results, I had a great experience throughout the entire journey... from the staff at his office to the staff at the surgery center. Everyone involved treated me like I was the queen (and I am not anyone special). I can never thank Dr. Cochran enough, he has forever changed my life."
