Consultation review: Stay Away.

ORIGINAL POST

Stay Away.

I went in for a rhinoplasty & breast implant consultation. The day of my visit was solely for my breast with Dr. Newman. I was told that Dr. Zoumalan had finished with his surgery early that day and would be able to see me for my nose if I wanted to. After seeing Dr. Newman (who is amazing and worked with me to figure out what would look best on my frame), Dr. Zoumalan came in. The consultation took no more than 5 mins, he simply looked at my nose, touched it and moved me into his other office. Here, he told me that he pretty much couldn't do anything for me. He was very rude and inconsiderate. I'm glad he showed his true side because I knew right away he wasn't the doctor for me. He tried charging me $14,000 for a rhinoplasty in which "he couldn't do anything for my nose". He's such a scam. I found another Dr. who was so understanding and willing to work with me to achieve the goal I wanted. Please stay away.

Hi there - I had to wait several months for my appointment with him and then had a 30 minute session where he answered all of my questions and made me feel at ease. I have a follow up meeting with him as well. Maybe he would have taken more time to really take a look if you had a scheduled appointment? Though I appreciate your honesty in sharing your experience.
Hi, I had an appointment scheduled with him for the following week. It was his staff that told me he could see me that day so I didn’t have to drive back. If he can’t give a proper consultation because he’s in a hurry, then don’t offer his services. It was very unprofessional
Actually, I scheduled an app. but had a similar experience last year. He is very condescending and rude in his manner. Whether it is on purpose or his personality is irrelevant, he should be professional. I'm glad I went to someone else.
Can I ask who you went with?
I went with Dr. Sagar Patel in Beverly Hills. Check him out! He did an amazing job.
Can you let me know who you ended up going with for the rhinoplasty?
Dr. Sagar Patel in Beverly Hills. Amazing and professional. The consultation was free and he answered all of my questions. I am coming up on 1 year post op with him and I could not be happier. He’s so so friendly and his staff is super attentive!
I had the same experience where he said he couldn't do anything for my nose but tried charging me 17000. I believe it's his way of not guaranteeing any results so patients don't come back upset later with what they got. Pretty disappointed in the $250 consultation fee I wasted given they could not even reply to my email asking them further questions. Go somewhere else and don't believe the Instagram hype. You can find more experienced doctors who can actually tell you what they can do for you and not waste your time/ money.
Yes! It was very disappointing because on IG he seemed great. There are better doctor’s out there that are more professional. I hope you found a surgeon that can work with you!
Awe thank you! I'm happy that you find out that gave you what you're looking for. I'm gonna look into Dr. Patel myself as well.
