Ronald Gruber is the WORST surgeon!!!!! When I first met him he was nice but acted arrogant. I thought maybe that was a good thing and thought he must be really good. However, after paying him a whopping $10,000 for a minor rhinoplasty, he did an EXTREMELY POOR job on my nose. He made it look like I had a sausage on the end of my nose instead of skillfully shaping the area around the tip. He also left me uneven. I tried to live with it for a long while, but I just didn't like it. When I went back to him to share my dissatisfaction, he tried to make me believe it looked ok and was good enough. He said he didn't want to do anything more to it. He just DIDN'T CARE. He was happy to get his massive $10K fee and brush me off. He's just one of many plastic surgeons who cares mostly about the money, but he's one who sometimes does VERY POOR work and yet refuses to revise it. I also think he just doesn't have the skill to know how to make it look good. I went to another plastic surgeon in Los Angeles who agreed that my nose looked unnatural and that it was a poor job done by Dr. Gruber. This surgeon is going to fix it. However, it infuriates me that I paid Dr. Gruber so much money for such poor work (that took him only an hour) and that he didn't care and didn't want to make it look better!!!!! And now I have to pay another surgeon another $10K+ to make it look good!!!!! His legacy should be that he has done some VERY BAD work then cares more about the money and doesn't care about fixing it (actually refuses to fix it)!!!!!
