Dr. Portuese is an exceptionally talented artist in facial plastic surgery, and is an equally compassionate individual. Before deciding on Dr. Portuese to perform my septo-rhinoplasty, I had consultations with renown facial plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills, Dallas, and New York over the course of several years. To say I was a cautious potential patient was an understatement. I chose Dr. Portuese not only because of his decades of experience, reputation as a skilled surgeon in functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty, and beautiful before and after photos, but also because of his warm and caring demeanor. You see, as a child my nose experienced a great deal of trauma - both literally and figuratively. I had to put a great deal of trust in Dr. Portuese. To put it simply, he made me feel whole again. It amazes me that a 60 minute procedure has the ability to be so transformative. Although there is much healing to do, the initial results are absolutely beautiful. My heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Portuese and his entire staff for such a positive experience.

Dr. Shvidler and his team are the best. First and foremost, he did a great job on my procedure. He also gives his number for texting questions, which I had never experienced...so convenient and quick - straight to the source. His staff is like a well/oiled machine - efficient and friendly to boot! . The surgical team was outstanding. I highly recommend Dr. Shvidler.

I just had a procedure done about 2 weeks ago. I am close to one week post up and I loved my results. I am a goalkeeper and have been through plenty of hits in the face and broken my nose 4 times. Safe to say I did not a septorhinoplasty to fix my breathing as well since I’ve had difficulty with breathing for quite a bit. The whole process was so easy and I felt welcomed and safe with Dr. Joseph Shvidler. He was super nice and very reassuring with the whole process. I was a bit nervous but Dr. Shvidler and the nurses made sure I was in safe hands and should have no worries before my procedure. My swelling was not terrible thankfully and I was not in pain for too long after my surgery. After one week I came in and got my cast removal and was shocked with the results. At first it is a little scary since I was not use to it and I was very swollen.But it’s been close to a week and i’m starting to love the results and love how Dr.Shvidler focuses on making the nose as natural as possible which is a big plus. I am excited for the swelling to continue to go down and to see my final results in the coming months. I would recommend Dr.Shvidler to everyone because he’s the absolute best!

Excellent experience from start to finish. The entire team is very professional and answered all my questions and concerns. Dr. Portuese did an outstanding job repairing a nasal fracture after an injury, improved the shape of my nose on the outside with a Rhinoplasty and improved my nasal breathing. I am thrilled with my results!!
