How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Getting the ball rolling!

Okay, so I finally found my doctor, put the down payment towards my surgery, and I have my surgery date! I chose to go with Dr Elam. I loved his before and after photos. I knew he could work a miracle on me (I hope and pray he does). My surgery is on the 28th of June. I am so excited! If any of his former patients, or if anyone else has any advice please share it!! I have never been to Orange county

More hideous nose pictures

Here are some more nose pictures. It's hard to tell quite how big my nose its with the of my face gone, but I'm trying to stay anonymous.

Sinus rinse OR Neti pot?

I posted this in the forum and no one has responded so I'll ask it here. For those of you have had your surgery, did you use a Neti pot or a sinus rinse? Which should I purchase? It's a little ways off but I'm a planner so I'm getting everything taken care of. Any other advice on what to buy? So far I have one my list of things to get:
-Bromelaine (what dosage do I get? )
-Arnica gel and pills
-Memory foam neck pillow
-Biotene mouth spray
-Cough drops/vitamin drops
-Chap stick
Anything else?????
