Does a Doctor Need to See Previous Medical Records Before Performing a Revision Rhinoplasty?

August 5, 2010
Asked By:Sharpie

I saw a doctor here in NY who charged me $250 for a 10 minute consultation and provided me with no hope. He said my nose was bad and that he would need to get the previous doctors medical records before he can tell me if he could work on my nose. Couldn't he have looked inside my nose, feel my nose or something like that? The same with my chin. He said to provide him with an ex-ray of my chin to see what the pocket is like. $250 and I had to be rushed with my questions.
