Aug 17, 2025Dr. Mario Imola does not follow patient’s written directions and performs subpar work. I wish I had known at the time that I had surgery that Dr. Imola had a previous surgical malpractice claim against him and that the State of Colorado had reprimanded him for performing the wrong procedure on a patient.
I had rhinoplasty performed by Dr. Imola, and we discussed using cadaveric materials for the procedure, specifically cartilage which was all he said would be needed. I woke up to pain behind my right ear to discover he had made a large incision behind my ear and harvested fascia from the side of my head. Something I had not agreed to. In fact, on the consent form I had explicitly said I did not authorize Dr. Imola to use any materials from other parts of my body.
When I complained of constant pain behind my ear to Dr. Imola and he said it would go away with time. It has been over 5 years, and I spent more than $10,000 repairing the subpar work he did on my nose which left me unable to breath well and left me with a bulbous and crooked nose.
I continue to this day to take pain medications and deal with the nerve damage caused by him removing fascia from the side of my head. He also left me with a sizable scar behind my ear. Other surgeons were baffled as to why he would make a horizontal incision behind my ear and not one that followed the crease in my ear. Dr. Imola also claimed to have not removed cartilage from my ear, but another surgeon confirmed that he in fact did remove cartilage.
Dr. Imola has a pattern of not listening to patients and clearly not reading notes and records before performing procedures.
I would also like to highlight that when you search for Dr. Imola on Google there is a sponsored first result which contains fake 5-star ratings from 500 people (see attached image.) This is really a deceiving form of marketing that reflects poorly on Dr. Imola and his ethic.
