This surgeon..if he even does perform surgery ruined my life for two years. He did a primary rhinoplasty and left my nose distorted. He assured me it could be fixed. I regretfully allowed him to...after my follow up of getting everything removed and stitches out I went home and the next day looked up in the mirror and saw a gabbing hole in my septum. I had to go to an ENT doctor and try to find resolution as this was not was expected. I was devastated. Look at these images, they speak volumes more than this review ever will. Please do not consider him for surgery, he has no bedside manners and pushes patients through. Horrible! I had to get someone to fix it for me and praise God my nose looks great now. Lesson learned NEVER get major surgery in North Dakota!!
