Septoplasty

Listen, I went to see Dr. Kleiman for reoccurring sinus infections. He said surgery was the best option for me and I took his advice and agreed to a septoplasty and turbinate reduction. First, I'll address his manners. The day of my surgery I was extremely nervous and hoped that he would comfort me in some way. He did not say two words to me, he only came into the room I was waiting in to sign the forms and then left. Following my surgery HE DID NOT SEE ME FOR ONE SINGLE FOLLOW UP. I did see the PAs and they were very nice, however, it was extremely discomforting that my surgeon did not even care to look at how my nose turned out or ask how I was feeling when I even called his office the day after surgery to tell him how badly I was feeling and how sick I was from the anesthesia. At none of my three follow ups did he even enter the room to take a look at my nose. IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING A SEPTOPLASTY, your nose WILL NOT look exactly the same as it did before surgery. I want to stress this because I was told my nose's appearance would not change at all and four months after my surgery, I have a distinct indentation in the bridge of my nose that is very obvious. I noticed this indentation right away and was told that once the swelling went down, it would look like it did. This is probably my biggest issue with this doctor. I was very clear that I liked the shape of my nose and even though my sinuses do feel better, I am upset that he promised the appearance would not change yet it did noticeably. ONE LAST HUGE THING, none of your post op visits will be free, like they are at most other offices. I paid $50 per post op visit to NOT EVEN SEE THE DOCTOR. And lastly, the reviews are telling the truth when they say this doctor does spend a significant portion of the visit trying to push his cosmetic and skincare procedures on people who came to see him for serious illnesses NOT to get their freckles removed when they're only 18 years old.
