In doing my research for 5+ years, I have yet to come across a doctor who doesn't have at least a couple bad reviews. It seems like even the best doctors have dismissive/ rude/ uncaring attitudes when one of their patients has unsatisfactory results. Can anyone give me advice?
Answer: Rhinoplasty Reviews Hi, There isn't a single surgeon who hasn't under performed at some point in their careers and sometimes that can result in a negative review. It is also important to remember that sometimes patients can leave negative reviews without justification. At some point, it is important for you to pick a couple of your top contenders and meet with them for a consultation and use your own judgement to determine who might be the best fit for you. Best, MS

Answer: Surgeon choice Hello! Thank you for your question.It is totally normal to find some bad reviews about a doctor. As a surgeon you always do your best for your patient. But sometimes patient may not be happy with the result (it may be related to complications or/and patient's expectation). Sometimes patients have hard time to accept their new look after the surgery because the nose is in the middle of the face, it changes the whole look of the face.

Answer: Choosing a rhinoplasty surgeon... I would advise to see surgeons with a few bad reviews. That means that they are probably doing a lot of rhinoplasty surgeries, which is what you want in a surgeon. The only surgeons that have zero bad reviews are either not doing much surgery or manipulating the reviews somehow. Having said that, the surgeon should also have a lot of good reviews too. The most important things are looking at photos and seeing if their results are something you would like, and then visiting the surgeons to see if you feel good about one of them. Make sure they are performing rhinoplasty every week.

Answer: Go on a few consultations, and go with your gut. You’re correct - All busy rhinoplasty specialists have a few bad reviews. It’s impossible to make everyone happy, and some of our worst reviews are from people who had good results! Check your surgeons’ B&A galleries and number of years in practice. Go on several consultations and see if there is chemistry. When I’m positive I can help someone, we usually exceed expectations. Good luck’ Dr Joseph

Answer: Bad reviews Every doctor will eventually get a bad review as it is all about relationships with patients and sometimes the patient and doctors personalities don’t mesh. I try to figure that out before I do surgery and not offer surgery to some one that I don’t mesh with but sometimes I figure it out too late. Understand that some of my absolute best results are my least happy patients and some of my worst results are my happiest patients. There is more to good reviews than a good surgeon. If I was having cosmetic surgery I would go on at least three consults. I would look for a board certified plastic surgeon with mostly really good reviews. I would chose the one who’s before and afters are what I am looking for in my results. Finally I would make sure their communication style/bed side manner is how I like to be communicated with.
