Hello, good afternoon, my name is Jeremy and this is my experience with doctor Benjamin Bradford. My surgery was October 21st 2022 , Septoplasty turbanets reduction and rhynoplasty i am about almost 1 year Post Op and I cannot breathe out of my nose at all. My sleep is terrible and I have to use prescription nasal sprays and use a nasal strip 24/7 and the quality of my life has been taken for me. Due to this surgery, the Dr. Didn't not inform me that he would be moving practices not until after my surgery. I would have not done this surgery if I would have know this. I have proof that he did not put enough support in my nose as well as message saying that my breathing would not get any better 4 months after surgery. This Dr. Has currently blocked me from messaging him and I will be pursuing legal action please run far away from this Dr. I cannot stress thr feel it is to not breath and to have this taken from you. Please do your research I am still looking for a solution to this. Dr. Bradford also said I could be seen in Loma Linda Murrieta again b one of his other dr. and I would have to play another consultation fee does this seem right absolutely not. I will post all the screen shots of the messages as well as the Facebook posts when I was trying to seek help you can see the dates as things went from bad to worse.

Response from Dr. Bradford:
We’re sorry that you’re unhappy with your rhinoplasty. Everyone heals differently and at times patients need a revision. When you reached out, you couldn’t see us in Nevada. We suggested some options, but can’t require other offices see you for free. Moving locations was a personal decision and we’re sorry that is not to your liking. That said, a doctor patient relationship is a mutual one. Once it becomes threatening, it’s no longer a healthy relationship for either party. We wish you the best.

You probably have empty nose syndrome. It is real and negatively impacts the quality of life immensely. You feel suffocated, like you can fully breathe in because air can not fully flow into your nose. You should speak to a specialist and should not have to suffer.
