Peter Revenaugh, MD

As much as I wish I could leave a positive review of this doctor, that has not been my experience having undergone a septorhinoplasty procedure with Dr. Revenaugh almost a year ago. I initially chose Dr. Revenaugh due his background as an ENT, combined with his experience as a facial plastic surgeon. He was personable and thorough during our consultation and seemed understanding of the functional and cosmetic concerns I had about my nose. Unfortunately, what was discussed (and documented!) prior to the operation was not what was delivered post-surgery. It was evident very early-on that my profile had been scooped and that my tip was now pointy and over-projected. When I expressed my concerns to Dr. Revenaugh, he initially dismissed it as swelling. As time went on and nothing improved, Dr. Revenaugh did eventually acknowledge the less than ideal outcome. He was willing to revise the procedure, but not refund it. Unfortunately, I have lost confidence in his skillset and will be seeking a revision to *hopefully* correct these errors with another surgeon. I would caution anyone against choosing this doctor, and even undergoing this procedure in general, as it truly did nothing to improve my confidence or my finances.

Dr Revenaugh was very likable and down to earth during our consult. I chose him to do my septo rhinoplasty because he trained under Dr Toriumi who is a specialist in complication nose revision cases, so I thought I was in good hands. My nose had never been worked on and Dr Revenaugh told me it was a straightforward, easy case. I had a deviated septum and so I thought going through my insurance would be of a benefit to me, but then the office started trying to bill my insurance as much as 30k, and kept lowering it as it got denied. My insurance required me to pay 20% and they would cover 80% so you would imagine my shock when a typical rhinoplasty is 10k…. And they were billing my insurance over double that. I should have saw this as a red flag and canceled but I was so excited for this change and went ahead. I now have an ugly side profile and it absolutely ruined my confidence. On top of that, I cannot breathe better. What else is there to say.

Dr Revenaugh's bedside manners are nice and warm. However his overall incompetence overshadows any good bedside manners. Dr Revenaugh has incorrectly diagnosed me with the condition of nasal obstruction, despite the evidence that has been provided to him in support of no mechanical nasal obstruction issues in my case. The consequences of a wrong diagnosis are an invasive functional medical procedure that demolishes the breathing function altogether. It looks like Dr Revenaugh is still very young and inexperienced to treat patients surgically, given the mistakes in basics that he makes - here, wrong diagnosis, not clearly communicated to the patient - during a cosmetic only consultation. Dr Revenaugh's professional level is more of a resident, rather than an experienced MD. Not to be trusted with any serious care, especially surgical.

Absolutely botched my nose. Didn't even look at my CT scan before surgery so I have no idea what direction he had prior to starting surgery. Follow up CT scan showed I had a deviated septum. That was his only job, to fix my deviated septum.
