Absolutely Incredible Results from Dr. Ronald Gruber - Oakland, CA
It's been about 2 weeks since I had my rhinoplasty with Dr. Gruber, and I truly couldn't be happier. I did extensive research before picking Dr. Gruber. He was the only one of multiple surgeons I saw who really listened and to what I wanted/envisioned, and he truly delivered - my nose is absolutely amazing and exactly what we envisioned together.

Dr Ron Gruber is the greatest Rhinoplasty Surgeon out there
I've had my Rhinoplasty Surgery with Dr. Ron Gruber about 6 Months ago. The entire process was a very pleasant experience. He took his time to educate me and wiped away any doubt and fear I had prior to meeting him. There was no pain, and minimal swelling after my surgery. The results were Epic. I have allot of respect for him and I am thankful for the great experience from beginning til end.
Outstanding!!!
I had a rhinoplasty with Dr Gruber a week ago. I was very nervous for 2 months before and didn't know what to expect. I was beyond pleasantly surprised! I had no pain whatsoever, i didn't even take Tylenol. I had no major swelling and just a small bruise under my eye. The anesthesiologist was also amazing , i got up and left after 3h under like nothing happened. I only took 3 days off work, but i did have a cast on for 6 days so if that bothers you you will need to stay home.
I went to see four other well regarded surgeons before finding and selecting Dr. Gruber for my deviated septum and secondary rhino. Three of them put me through a typical horse and pony show with high powered sales pressure, both over simplifying my case difficulty and over pushing the other services such as botox and laser stuff. The fourth, took one look at me and said…"I can't help you. You need to go see Dr. Gruber because he wrote the book on your case". My appointment
I started off with a crooked nose that had a severely deviated septum but normal tip cartilage. In 2009 I had surgery with a closed approach that involved trying to straighten out my nose and septum. This ended as a big fail as my septum reverted crooked and my tip and mid vault became collapsed in on the left hand side. The surgeons' response was to suggest permanent filler bio alcamid, and I never went back to see him again. I had revision with a different surgeon in 2011 who
Had typical middle eastern nose. Told him since I was a male I didn’t want an overdone reduction of the bridge. Instead he took off a little too much which accentuated the rest of nose. I felt like the cartilage was loosened from the bone and he said I didn’t need a septoplasty but after taking off the bridge it became really obvious that the nose was off to one side. From a 45 degree angle it looked as if there was still a bump and crooked nose because the bridge was too low
Ronald Gruber is the WORST surgeon!!!!! When I first met him he was nice but acted arrogant. I thought maybe that was a good thing and thought he must be really good. However, after paying him a whopping $10,000 for a minor rhinoplasty, he did an EXTREMELY POOR job on my nose. He made it look like I had a sausage on the end of my nose instead of skillfully shaping the area around the tip. He also left me uneven. I tried to live with it for a long while, but I just didn't like
