Eric T. Waterman, MD, FACS

My experience was truly amazing and I am so grateful!! I was dealing with a very difficult and complicated medical situation, and DR. Waterman and his staff were magical! I felt heard, cared for, and appreciated their professionalism! I feel so grateful for the amazing surgery result, entire experience and I absolutely recommend DR. Waterman as an excellent provider!

Doctor Waterman is amazing. I heard horror stories of people getting their deviated septum’s fixed and having a rhinoplasty. My experience was far from that. Doctor Waterman is an artist in his profession. I had minimal swelling with no black and blue eyes. I receive compliments on my new nose and I could not be happier with the results. I would definitely recommend Doctor Waterman

Dr. Waterman listened to my nose insecurities and he made me feel at ease about the rhinoplasty procedure plus the recovery process. I liked how Dr.Waterman was realistic throughout the whole process and that made me feel comfortable 100%. I wanted a new nose that would suit my face and at the same time look natural. I am 5 weeks post op and I am loving the results. The moment I walked into the office, I was offered a water/soda. I was professionally taken care of and the environment was so peaceful and beautiful. I would like to thank Dr.Waterman for his work and his team for making this moment of my life a great experience.

My experience was fabulous. Dr. Waterman performed the surgeries and he was very attentive to my needs. After six months, he did some minor correction at no charge. This was seamless and I tolerated the procedure well. After a brief home stay of recovery, I bounced back quickly.
The staff was always accommodating and available to answer my questions.

As a young child I was always complimented by my relatives who loved my "cute nose" and were so shocked that I didn't inherit the infamous bump on the bridge... well that was short lived because when I hit puberty, God laughed and the bone structure of my once favorite feature changed as I developed.

I didn't like the shadow my nose bone structure created when I looked at people straight on, making one side of my nose look like it protruded more than the other. The asymmetry was emphasized when I smiled or talked, which also made the tip drop. I was often told that I looked mad... even though I'm rarely mad... and when I looked at pictures of myself I understood what people were seeing. I decided to get a rhinoplasty so i would look more how I feel I look.

I am extremely happy with my results, and I continue to see positive little changes everyday.

Ethnic rhinoplasty

After 20 years of wanting and searching, I recently got my rhinoplasty procedure done by Dr. Waterman. From our very first meeting, I knew that he was the surgeon for me. As an African American woman, I was really concerned about maintaining the naturalness and ethnic features of my nose while getting minor enhancements.

Dr. Waterman was able to visualize what I wanted after other surgeons weren’t able to. His entire staff were wonderful as well. They answered all of my calls, messages and texts! Even the anesthesiologist called me before the surgery to make sure I was comfortable and had all of my questions answered.

I am so happy I chose Dr. Waterman. I have been extremely pleased with the entire process, everything from the consult to the post op appointments. I highly recommend Dr. Waterman and his staff!

hated the [RS bleep] out of my nose since high school. hated it more as i got older? i would photoshop it to look how i wanted it to look sometimes (before filters lol). i once bought a ridiculous nose pinching thing from amazon that claimed to make your nose smaller. my nose was FINE but it was also not cute! nobody in my life really thought i needed to get surgery. some thought it was INSANE. i finally worked up the courage and support (and dollars) and booked it. BEST DECISION EVER. it's a risk. it's scary to have surgery. it hurts (but not that bad). but dr. waterman is the [RS bleep] and so is his team. the surgery center people are angels. the man who put me under was my best friend. i woke up so happy. i cried the whole way home. what they dont tell you is rhinoplasty is EMOTIONAL. i had buyers remorse once the drugs wore off. but then i realized that's part of the emotional rollercoaster and went and binge'd queer eye and drag race. getting the cast off is amazing. you see it for the first time and you're still kinda worried you [RS bleep] up. and then bam ALL YOUR DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE. nobody knows i had anything done. nobody. just the 3 people i told. it's incredible. i look like me, just the best version! it couldn't have gone better. i wouldn't want anything else in the middle of my face. choosing a doctor is a lot, but i just felt right with dr. waterman. he was the second doc i had a consult with. the first one told me i didn't need a nose job snd talked me into a non-surgical nose job. waste of money and also ummm... kinda rude. but it was fine. anyway. i can't believe this is MY [RS bleep] face! i'd do it all over again tomorrow. if you're on the fence, take the leap. if your looking for the right doctor, look no further!

I went through an open rhinoplasty in January, 2021, and the 2nd photo was taken right after the cast was removed. The swelling has gone down a little since then and I can't express how grateful I am for the result I see in the mirror every day now :) I had deviated septum and overprojected nose with a bump. The deviation is still there, it was adjust very slightly, but the bump is gone and he also made my tip less boxy. I was told by other doctors that deviation will not go away completely, so I am okay with that. Love the results! It looks the same as on the edited photo I was given after my initial consultation.

Dr. Waterman performed a rhinoplasty on me earlier this year, and I'm extremely satisfied with my results and overall experience as his patient. During the consultation, I expressed my nose insecurities, but was upfront about my desire for my nose to fit the rest of my facial features. Throughout the process, he listened intently, and made me feel at ease about the surgery and recovery time (which went smoothly). My nose looks beautiful AND natural, and as a bonus, my breathing has improved. :)

I had the most wonderful experience with Dr. Waterman and all of his incredible staff to handle my nose surgery. I had a really horrible deviated septum from a childhood injury and I have dealt with horrible migraines ever since. I have extreme anxiety and I felt extremely comfortable with Dr. Waterman, his office staff, and everyone who worked at the surgery center. I was extremely nervous going under, but the anesthesiologist and the nurses at the surgery center kept me very calm and before I knew it, I was waking up from surgery. After my surgery, Dr. Waterman's staff constantly checked on me asking me how I was doing and offering tons of advice on how to increase my comfort level. Dr. Waterman even offered me to come in before my week follow-up just to check on me, which made me feel so much more comfortable after our visit. I knew that I could text or call at any time (day or night) to Dr. and his staff when I had any concerns at all. I have no family where I live, and I truly felt like Dr. Waterman’s staff took care of me like their own family. 10/10 would recommend coming here for any type of nasal surgery! My nose looks great and I can breathe better than I have in my entire life! Thank you Waterman Rhinoplasty!!
