Not a Good Surgeon, Period - Palm Harbor, FL

Oh it's okay, I live with it. I figured I would share this, because I only see good reviews. And the reality of it is unless someone wants breast augmentation he just isn't a good surgeon. Glad this community exists to protect people. TY.

Very brave of you to come on here and let others know about your bad results. I agree, the doctor should have been fully aware of your septum before cutting you, and he consistently neglects to address this fact, despite being extremely defensive and telling you to grow up (?????). I am so impressed that you are not letting other people shut you down and that you stand up for yourself. Good for you! I see he claims you're lying but I don't see what you are lying about. I hope you get things corrected some day. All the best!

And by the way, I'm in Tarpon Springs and know who to steer clear of thanks to your courage.

Thank you peoplepeoplepeople. I have the utmost respect for doctors, but I had to post this review because the fact of the matter is this wouldn't have happened with a surgeon who is a master at rhinoplasty. Also, the picture I posted has never been photoshopped like the good doctor suggested, my nose is completely crooked, I could prove this over and over. Dr. Laufer also left me with a low hanging columella. It looks like the "before" picture in a revision rhinoplasty "before and after". If you don't mind going out of the area, I recommend Dr. Eric Joseph in West Orange, NJ. He came highly recommended to me from family in NY and is highly recommended on RealSelf. Just remember it is your face, the first thing people see when they look at you for the rest of your life and it is your money. The surgeon is providing you a service, not doing you any favors. Make sure you do your research and get the right one the first time! Best of luck to you!

Why haven't you gotten your nose fixed the way you want it? So you can feel better instead of being so bitter about something that he believed he did in YOUR best interest ten years ago.

One last thing...I had lipo and I am ecstatic! I had two other plastic surgeons in this area and from now on, I will never go to anyone but Dr. Laufer.

I shouldn't have to spend another 13,000 to get my nose fixed when he should've done it RIGHT the first time. He didn't do anything in MY best interest he was paid. Fact is he left my nose CROOKED and my columella hanging to low. A surgeon who masters their craft doesn't make it so their patients have to pay for ANOTHER surgery. But I digress. Good for you, glad YOU had good results with him. Rhinoplasty is a complex surgery and I will no longer be getting surgery from anyone other than a specialist: it has nothing to do with being bitter. He has no business doing rhinoplasties of his patients are going to have to have them redone anyways.

Also the fact that he came on here and instead of accepting responsibility for it, says the picture was "photoshopped" proves how unprofessional he is, but enjoy your lipo! Glad you feel good about yourself

Not to mention in the comment he left, he confused me with my sister. And my mother did have to fight with his office over insurance money. He thinks he performed the surgery he performed on MY TWIN on me. I never elected to have a septoplasty, my mother never signed those papers that's why he couldn't make her pay for it but he tried to charge us for it. He had NO idea BEFORE surgery that my septum was crooked and he still comes on here and denies it and posts about my sister who has NOTHING to do with this. He's just unprofessional

Thank you Pam!

Yikes! I am sorry for the troubling times you have had with this client. How unfortunate. I am glad you have commented on their terrible review. best wishes, Dr.

Dr. Laufer,

I am not for or against you or the patient(s). But I wonder if sharing her (their) information on here is a HIPPA violation. I'm not out to get you or anyone, just thought I'd share my take-away.
