Rhinoplasty Consult - did not have a terrible experience, but not great
ORIGINAL POST
Rhinoplasty Consult
I want to start off by saying that I did not have a terrible experience, but not great. Pearlman was my first rhinoplasty consultation I had been to. I will say the office is beautiful and the staff is nice. In all honesty, I did not find Dr. Pearlman very personable. He took my pictures and did 3D vectra right away. After 10 minutes of silence, he made a joke about how maybe I'll save the anesthesiologist money if my surgery ended up being short? Meanwhile I'm the one to pay him thousands of $. He basically had a annoyed demeanor the whole time; like it was a chore to see me. I also want to point out that when examining my nose, he didn't tell me I had a deviated septum (which I found out from 2 other doctors after him). I know insurance could have helped with this, but I am guessing he didn't want to be bothered with insurance and failed to mention this important part of my nose. I went to him because the results I saw online look really good, but for me, I didn't mesh with this doctor.

Regarding the silence, the Vectra 3-D takes a lot of time to upload and create a 3-D image, which may have been the silence.
We pride ourselves on patient relations and welcome a follow up appointment in person that we never charge for, if desired, to review the exam, plan and potential treatments.
