I went to Dr. Barker for rhinoplasty and chin...
I went to Dr. Barker for rhinoplasty and chin implant (when he was still based in New York) in September 2014. The total cost was ~$9,000. Initially, the rhinoplasty looked fine, but the chin implant was sticking out on the left with shooting pains going through my jaw, for the latter of which he said would settle down eventually.
By March, the nose started to get really out of shape and kinda large and I continue to have issues with the chin implant. He did an "in-office procedure" to fix the nose, but that did not work.
By August, neither the chin implant (sticking out and the shooting pain) nor the nose had not gotten any better. I contacted Dr. Barker only to learn that he had moved to Tennessee to open up a new practice. Since the nose and chin had gotten so bad by now, I had to get another major surgery done again in New York to fix both the nose and the chin, and the cost was $10,400!! I have repeatedly tried to contact Dr. Barker for some kinda of reimbursement since the initial major surgery did nothing but cause severe problems, not including the extra ~$10,000 I had to pay another doctor, additional recovery time and missed time from work -- but nothing.
I get that Dr. Barker moved away to Tennessee for whatever reason, but given that the surgery caused more problems than it was supposed to fix, he should have the dignity and the civility to refund the money! But no!! Repeatedly emails have gone unanswered. When I initially paid Dr. Barker, I was told if I wasn't happy with the result, a follow up surgery would be done. But what do you do if the doctor moves away to another state?!?! You expect the doctor to provide some kind of reimbursement -- but that did not happen in this case.
I am highly disappointed with the entire situation and how it was handled by Dr. Barker. If you plan to use Dr. Barker, PLEASE keep in mind what I went through.
