31 Y.o. Male Rhinoplasty, Alarplasty, Tip-plasty

I chose Dr. Eric Yapjuangco based on photos from his Instragram account and reviews from patients. If rhinoplasty were to be considered an art, Dr. Eric is an excellent artist based on these points: 1) His patients' before-and-after photos demonstrated restraint, subtlety, and balance. He never went over the top with his designs. 2) He made sure to tell me that results will appear realistic and will not have that "Michael Jackson" look. 3) He encouraged me to gather photos of the nose that I wanted to achieve which he will use as his guide. When I revealed to him my celebrity "peg," he responded by saying "we can achieve something like that" -- expectations were neither set too high nor too low, which I appreciate. 4) He is the only doctor I know who responds to text messages! I even receive responses to my simple questions -- very accessible! 5) Prior to surgery, the anesthesiologist came over to brief me on the procedure and was very helpful with answering some of my questions. 6) The nurses who assisted with pre-surgery sterilization were very nice and music was playing in the operating room. Areas of opportunity: While his clinic and office are beautiful (excellent interior design), staff are courteous and friendly, and the after-care support is great, his wait-times are absolutely horrible! I had to wait up to 4 hours at one point for a check-up! I understand that he is one of the more popular surgeons in the country and that many people line up to get him but his clinic needs to start using an appointment system. Currently, patients are served on a first-come-first-served basis and I am told to return for a check-up on a certain day at whatever time. This system won't work for people who live out of town and take hours to drive to his clinic, or to those who have to be at work. There are tons of appointment software that can make repeat visits and consultations a lot smoother.
