WOW!!! I am so impressed with everyone here. I had consults with three different surgeons in Seattle and went with Dr. Shvidler and his team. I especially appreciated that Dr. Shvidler was willing to tell me which issues would be best addressed with plastic surgery and which were ones that he did not see as issues. My recovery was seamless, the care team was extremely responsive, and the whole operating staff was personable. Big fan!!

I had a nasal valve revision and a medically necessary septoplasty to correct my airway-- this should have also included a straightening of my septum/...

I am beyond grateful for the care I received.at the Seattle Facial Plastic Surgery Center. For years I struggled with breathing problems that left me exhausted and affected every part of my life. After surgery with Dr. Shvidler and his team, I can finally take a deep breath again. It’s something most people take for granted, but for me it has been life-changing. Not only do I sleep better and feel more energized, but my overall quality of life has improved in ways I didn’t think were possible. Dr. Shvidler and staff were kind, patient, and truly cared about me as a person. I never felt rushed, and they made sure I was comfortable and informed at every step. This experience has given me back my health and happiness. I can’t thank them enough and would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone who is struggling the way I was.

Dr. Shvidler was extremely caring and sympathetic to my needs. I had broken my nose and was very distressed, but he listened to my concerns and was able to make multiple corrections to my nose. I would not go to anyone else. He took me in right away and everything turned out perfect. He is extremely articulate, and I am so amazed with his work.
