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: 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.
