I had my nose job done by dr. Solomon and I really regret it, He is very dishonest person..
Had rhinoplasty and septoplasty and he reuined my nose by working on one side of my nose leaving it to look broken and twisted.
Went back to see him for the bad results I got after the procedure and showed him how my nose looks in pictures and how sad I was about this result but he didn't care he was texting while I was talking to him and his answer was "oh sorry what was your final question?"... I was shocked is this really the same person I talked to before paying him?!!!

I DO NOT recommend this Dr to anybody at all.

Hi there.

Im sorry to hear that. That is very unfortunate. I also had a very disastrous result with Dr. Solomon. Please read my review on here. I also have full face pictures posted. I had a 4th operation over a year ago with a different surgeon (my first 3 were with Solomon) and am super happy with the results. That surgeon fixed all Dr. Solomons mistakes. Again, Im very sorry that you did not have good results. Ive seen this way too many times with this surgeon.

Hello Misskitty,

Thank you so much for your wards and I am really glad that you got Solomons' mistakes fixed after all...
I have been searching for a good surgeon for almost 3 years to fix the problem I have and haven't found one yet, Unfortunatly Solomon made me loose confidence and trust in other surgeons.

Hi Hanna,

I went to Dr. Oakley Smith.

Good luck with your search!
March 20, 2016
You're last surgery which was a success was with Dr Oakley Smith? How long ago? I ask because you say your tip would drop after surgery. I don't want to say this and I sure hope it doesn't, but do you think its been long enough time?
March 20, 2016
Sorry I meant I don't want to jinx your surgery by saying has it been a long time?
March 21, 2016
I had my surgery with Dr. Smith back in Nov 2014. I havent updated my review yet but I really need to. I guess I was just waiting to see how things went but honestly in the past my nose would always drop very soon after surgery. This time it hasnt. I am now 1 year and 4 months post op and I am way happier with my nose.

Hello Misskitty, im so happy to hear about your succsesful surgery with Dr.Smith. Please post some pictures. He seems to be wonderful and skilled PS.
January 6, 2016
Im really sorry of your circumstance. You are absolutely right , he is dishonest . He ruined my face and lied about it ! Lied about everything ! It's appalling to me how many people have had negative experience !
Do not go back to him ! He will only cause you more harm !
January 7, 2016
Thank you for your supportive words and I am sorry to hear about your nagative experience, wish you all the best finding a good surgeon to fix things up and give you the desired result.
I will never go back to him even if he pays me.
January 9, 2016

Hi, I'm sorry to hear that you had a bad experience. I can assure you that I have been a patient of Dr. Solomon for over 10 years now and he has always provided excellent care and service to me and to many of my close friends and relatives. I originally saw Dr. Solomon because I had a deviated septum and had two unsuccessful nose procedures performed by another doctor. Fortunately, Dr. Solomon was able to correct the problem and I am very happy with the results.

He has an excellent reputation in the medical profession. I did a lot of research prior to my third surgery because I was worried about having another bad experience. I also saw his work and had spoken to many of his patients. All of them were happy with their results.

Going into surgery you never know what results you're going to get and that's a risk that all patients no matter which doctor they see are made aware of from the get go.

Although I sympathize with you about what you are going through, I can assure you that Dr. Solomon is an excellent doctor who really knows what he's doing.

Hello Esty . So glad you had a great experience with Dr.Solomon and I believe you did but I did not . I had terrible experience . Just waiting couple more months and will write my review. He was very dishonest and lied to me and is hard to have me convinced other way ! I been there , I have seen it , feel it and I know what he has done to my face! In my opinion he is the worst surgeon out there . His many negative reviews (which he deletes all the time ) speak of his work and experience! Nose is the center of the face and anywhere you touch the face and one can only imagine when a Dr ruins it and makes you feel more vulnerable tells you it's all fine. Just don't look in the mirror and try not to think about it. I chose to die If I can't fix it but I will never allow him again anywhere near my face ! His work is a great concern for me.
January 17, 2016
Hello, firstly thank you for your response. Nobody has the authority or capability to delete a post that was not authored by them so I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about when you say "he deletes posts"? Do you have proof?

Also Dr. Solomon was honest with me before I went in to surgery for my deviated septum. He said that there was no guarantee that it would be fixed completely and that sometimes people need more than one surgery to correct the problem. So I believe him to be very honest.

Happily he did correct the problem.

Regarding your procedure. .. sometimes it takes a full year before you see the actual result.

I hope it all works out.
Good luck.
January 17, 2016
Thank you Esty. I truly hope it will work out!
I do have proof he deleted many reviews but Im the best proof as Iam telling you he deleted mine but iam fine with it!!!
Iam truly happy about you, we as patient need trust and confidence in our surgons and when we are met (like I have) with dishonesty from a Dr is really traumatizing experience! I cry every day and I will never be able to understand the reason what was that led me to him but Iam determent to learn from this experience and help others who have had similar like mine or worst experience.
At the end of the day bottom line is that I don't need a basket of lies to lose trust , I only need one intentional lie and I can never trust that Dr ever again. Rightfully so!
Thank you for your kind words!!!
January 18, 2016
Hi Esty,
Thank you for your comment. Iam glad that your experience with dr solomon is as excellent as you wanted it to be!!
My experience with him was so unfortunate and I regret it so much that I trusted the wrong dr.
It was very deceiving actually that I saw a completely different person after paying him!!
He simply gives twisted noses to his patients and makes them go through an endless path of suffer!!
January 18, 2016
Hi Ya8oota , was your review on ratemd deleted ? Mine was deleted and I have tried to contact rate md numerous times and I have not gotten a response from them. Iam fine with that , a review will not change my opinion nor my unfortunate situation . This supposed to be life changing for better but sadly was done for the worst !!!
other patient who have had excellent experience they have no idea how lucky they are and how happy Iam for them , I wouldn't wish my experience to no one . It's a trauma that will hunt me for the rest of my life ! It's a face ,nothing you can do to hide it !
Hopefully you and I and many others will be able to find a comppasionate PS surgeon who will help us at very least gain some confidence back because I have none . I feel and look hideous!!! But I have decided to gain back my strength and concentrate into finding a good Dr who I hope will help me with this issue !
January 19, 2016
Hi alAksa,
Yes, my comment was deleted on RateMed.
Dr. Solomon reviews on RateMed reached 164 comments and the most recent pages were extremely negative and in one night his reviews were dropted to 153 reviews after deleting the most recent negative reviews ;).. I have screenshoted everything, all the comments that were deleted. I honestly don't care as you said it wouldn't change anything, it is just showing how dishonest he is.
January 22, 2016
Hi ya8oota ,
Last I checked I believe it was more then 164 but yes my review was deleted . I have screanshoted too :) including my comment ,the date that I posted it and The day that was deleted !!!
I believe we should have every right to post our real experiences. One day maybe:)
February 16, 2016
Also had a very bad result. He asked me the day of the surgery what we were doing in front of a room full or strangers. I should have walked out. I kick myself everyday for not listening to my gut and walking out of his or room. He was not prepared for my surgery and My face pays the price.
February 16, 2016
Hi Rhinomaybe .
Did he help you after? Did he fix the issue with your nose?
From your review a notice he did something that you did not consent to, have you done something about it?
