How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

A Medical (legal) Question?

Could anyone (especially our Canadian and Ontarian readers) tell me if it is illegal for a doctor not to mention or describe 'rhinoplasty' procedure in your medical and surgical reports (when in fact rhinoplasty was done and the surgeon got paid for). What is this called in medical/legal terms? 'Professional misconduct'? or, 'Falsification of medical records'? or, something else? As always, you can PM me if you prefer. Thank you all.

Spreading Hate Speech or Telling the TRUTH?

Unfortunately, a new member of the RealSelf community has accused me of spreading hate speech against Dr. Solomon and asked me to take it elsewhere. She also told me that I am ugly inside and out (don’t know how she could have seen my face—regretfully, I have never claimed to be a supermodel!). She also mentioned that my botched nose job was "karma" coming at me. Although I found the karma comment kind of entertaining because at least this "patient" acknowledges that I ended up with a botched nose job, her comments have truly hurt me. I posted my review on this website after almost 3 years of physical pain and emotional agony that all started after my very unsuccessful primary rhinoplasty with Dr. Solomon. If the walls of his office could talk, they would tell the truth about the way he treated me and how he literally kicked me out of his office telling me that he agrees that my nose is ruined but he can’t and doesn’t “want” to fix it, and how I should stop looking at the mirror and shouldn't take photos, and just learn to live with it! It took me three years to find the courage to speak up. It took me three years of physical and emotional suffering and pain to find the strength to tell my story. I was happy to have found this community but I wasn’t sure if they were going to actually publish my review or just delete it! To my astonishment, my story was published and there was an outpour of support from other community members, some of them former patients of Dr. Solomon. That gave me peace, not only in knowing that I am not alone, but also knowing that my voice counts and I can tell the TRUTH. I will always be grateful to this community and its members for that. My intention was never to spread hate against anyone, but to accomplish 2 things: 1) let those who are travelling the same painful journey know that their pain is VERY REAL and they are not alone in their suffering , and 2) to let those considering surgery know the real truth about rhinoplasty beyond fancy offices and framed degrees on the walls and phony smiles and empty promises. Calling this “hate speech” is a violation of human rights and (according to my friend who is a lawyer), I know that I have the right to pursue this reviewer’s comment as “defamation” and “slander” through legal channels. Also making this comment publicly online can also be interpreted as “cyber-bullying” which is another offence. Hate speech is illegal (so is defamation and slander) in Canada but telling the TRUTH is not. The difference is very clear. End of the story…

Useful link

A while back, I found this website (Dr. R. Davis). I am not advocating for this doctor because I really don't know his work but thought the information was very helpful in terms of explaining rhinoplasty to the layman (aka, yours truly!) My other suggestion for those thinking of getting a primary or revision is to know the anatomy of your nose and different surgical techniques so when your surgeon is telling you about his action plans, you'll know what he is talking about and do not blindly accept what he says.

Think twice before going to him and learn from my painful experience and many others like me. He is now widely advertising and targeting certain ethnic communities in GTA. He does not have a clue what is considered a beautiful face in different cultures. There is no way he can ever be considered an "ethnic rhinoplasty" expert. Please be warned that he is not going to listen to you and has no respect for individual concerns and does not take the time to explain risks, procedures, or things he can or cannot do. He Lacks empathy and does not seem to understand the value and significance of a woman's face in her life and on her self-esteem. His surgeries are rushed and sloppy. One star is one too many for this doctor. I rated the payment process as 5 star because he is really good at taking your money. His lower fees represent his attitude of "you get what you pay for" , hence the half-done nose jobs. For a whole year, he LIED to me reassuring me that he will fix his mess, and at the end of the year he REFUSED to touch my nose telling me there is no cartilage left and my nose would collapse!! According to 5 other revision surgeons I consulted in Toronto, this is not true. He played psychological games with me going from admitting that my rhinoplasty was unsatisfactory and promised he will fix it to telling me: "it's all in your head" and "you're the only one who sees it's crooked and is bothered by it!!" (who else was supposed to be bothered by my crooked, disfigured nose??!!) , and "stop looking at the mirror!!!!!???" There is a pattern to his work and how he treats his innocent, hard-working patients. Read his online reviews carefully and look at my photos: A picture is worth a thousand words!
