Amazing, Caring Experience W Dr.Rich
My experience with Dr Rich and his entire staff was over the top. I felt very comfortable in his office from the beginning, explaining everything that we would be doing for my procedure and then all the way through the end of my surgery when it was complete. I debated doing the surgery for many years, but after doing much research, I decided to go with the Dr Rich having heard of his work from several of my friends and seeing the amazing results I highly recommend him and his
Before meeting Dr. Rich, I had previous reconstructive surgery on my jaw (with a genioplasty) which resulted in nerve damage and my chin being recessed and disproportional to the rest of my face. After nearly a decade of dealing with my chin being disproportional, I decided I wanted to get surgery. I met with several other plastic and orthognathic surgeons in Columbia--all of whom had a strong push for surgery but failed to thoroughly care and discuss my medical history and questions.

Young Again
I'm a 82 year old very young woman now that Dr. Rich has performed this procedure. He made sure that the whole experience was safe and comfortable. I had a very close friend approach me and say that she noticed something different and then complimented me on how I looked. I can't thank him enough.

The Absolute Best!!!
Dr. Rich is amazing at what he does. He listened to what I wanted and all my concerns. He gives great advice on how to go about things and I felt so comfortable with him. I had very narrow nostrils and a hard time breathing on one side and disliked my side profile. I also had a chin implant to even out my proportions so my nose could look more natural. Which he suggested, as well as something I came in wanting. I wanted something natural and fitting for my face, yet still unique,
I waited for almost 6 months to review the outcome of my cosmetic surgery so that I could report after results were clearly evident and most of the inflammation had subsided. (But please don't think it takes 6 months to heal - I was out in public in just over 2 weeks). I'm thrilled with the outcome of my procedures and impressed with Dr Rich and his staff. Prior to my surgery, I found myself dimming mirror lights so that I did not notice the signs of aging. Yet, I still hesitated
When I was 14yrs old my nose was broken in an accident. I never went to get it fixed because it was not always super noticeable. The older I got the more aware I became of it and wanted to get it fixed. My consultation with Dr. Rich was exactly what I needed to feel more confident about going through with the procedure. He explained everything very clearly and made sure I was knowledgeable about the procedure and pricing of everything. My recovery went smoothly and Dr. Rich was
I am elated with the natural results and refreshed look of my deep plane face/neck lift. Dr. Rich and his office staff are wonderful. From the first consultation visit to my last visit, I felt so comfortable and confident with him and his staff. He explained everything thoroughly, with much patience, while taking time to answer all questions. The surgery went great. I especially loved having it done in his office.
My surgery was due to a traumatic injury to my nose. Smythe was able to get me in quickly for my initial appointment and from there we had a surgery date. Smythe made sure. I was well informed about what to expect and had a wonderful experience before, during and after my surgery. Highly recommend him and his professional staff.
Excellent care. Dr. Rich and his staff are caring people who spend time with their clients and answer their questions. My experience with them with two surgeries as well as other facial services has been excellent so far.
i’ve always felt my nose was lacking a proper bridge. glasses often slid down my face and in profile my face looked flattened. so i booked a consultation with dr. Rich. He surprised me with his knowledge of Asian ethnic nasal surgical procedures. The dr. patiently answered my questions, allaying my fears he would misunderstand my goals. On his computer he drew over a photo of my face showing me how the new bridge would look like. i left feeling he had understood me. i arranged
