I had a terrible experience with doctor Schoenfeld. 4 years ago I was operated on for a deviated septum. While my nose looks slightly straighter i am missing a piece of the cartilage at the front base of my nose. I was not told this prior to surgery. Now i have to live with the inside of my nose feeling akin to a burn victim.

The worst part is that i can only breathe well out of one nostril. The other only functions some of the time and is generally weaker. The 'doctor' told me that the condition would improve. it did not. This man is a plastic surgeon. Great at cutting you open, but he may fail to patch you up. I would know.

I'm sorry for what happened to you. My surgeon said the same to me.
