Exceptional Rhinoplasty Experience with Dr. Alexander

WORTH IT
Dr. Ashlin Alexander is a fantastic rhinoplasty surgeon. I travelled from out of province to have Dr. Ashlin Alexander perform my rhinoplasty.
I had a large dorsal hump and a deviated septum (I have an ethnic nose with thick skin). It’s been approximately a year later, my bridge is straight (there is the tiniest bump at the top of the nose but it’s barely noticeable - it’s swelling that’s continuously getting smaller and smaller) and there is no hump. I am extremely thrilled with these results and my new nose has exceeded my expectations of what a rhinoplasty could offer. My profile (forward and side), I think, looks so much better but I still look like myself. I choose Dr. Alexander because he made it clear what he did and did not think was appropriate for my nose - for example, he didn’t feel comfortable giving my a scooped nose bridge as it wouldn’t be proportionate/symmetrical with my face. He was realistic and honest about what changes would and wouldn’t work with my face, and I appreciated that realism.
I really appreciated the environment Dr. Alexander and his team provided me from sending the first email to getting the rhinoplasty procedure. Claire (practice manager) is extremely responsive and provides with all the information you need. Since I was out of province, the team was able to schedule an appointment with Dr. Alexander before the actual surgery. I was late (I missed the VIA train :( unfortunately) and Dr. Alexander was still able to meet me at a later time that day. Both his team and Dr. Alexander made sure to prioritize my comfort and anxiety!
On the day of the surgery, the staff at the clinic went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and cared for, and even offered my parent directions on where to park to pick me up once the surgery was over! The office was well decorated, clean, and extremely professional. I was extremely panicked about going under anesthesia, but the atmosphere and the care the staff provided mediated that fear.
I have enjoyed this experience - Dr. Alexander’s presence helped alleviate my anxiety about getting a rhinoplasty, he understands how to work with different skin/ethnicities, and was really personable (he remembered that I had moved and asked me about how I was liking my new home).
I would highly recommend!

Response from Dr. Alexander:
Thank you for such an incredibly detailed and wonderful review! We're absolutely honored that you traveled from out of province to have Dr. Alexander perform your rhinoplasty - that kind of trust means everything to us.
Your complex case with a large dorsal hump, deviated septum, and thick ethnic skin required exactly the kind of specialized expertise Dr. Alexander is known for. A year later, with your straight bridge and eliminated hump while still looking like yourself, shows just how beautifully everything has healed and settled.
What really stands out is your appreciation for Dr. Alexander's honest, realistic approach - like explaining why a scooped bridge wouldn't be proportionate for your face. That kind of integrity and expertise in working with different ethnicities is exactly what sets him apart.
We're so glad Claire was able to coordinate everything smoothly for your out-of-province journey, and that Dr. Alexander could still meet with you despite the missed VIA train! His personal touch - like remembering your move and asking about your new home - really shows how much he cares about his patients as people.
Your experience from that first email through surgery day perfectly captures the comprehensive care we strive to provide. Thank you for your high recommendation!
