I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kriet and his staff at KU Med West. After high school (many, many years ago!), I was in a bad car wreck. I had plastic surgery on my nose and lip in St. Joseph, MO shortly after the wreck. Years later, I had sinus surgery, then many years after that, while I was still having trouble breathing, I went to see another plastic surgeon in Topeka, KS, who said he can help with the breathing. I did get relief in breathing, BUT only for a... year or two. What I really ended up with was a crocked nose and a large bump on the right side of my nose. In the last few years, the nose seemed to become even more crooked (from the deviated septum).
In March, I went to a new ENT doctor in Topeka who also does plastic surgery. I told him about my difficulty of breathing through my right side of the nose. He took CT scans of my head and said that all three procedures that were previously done on my nose (including the sinus surgery) where all done very poorly. He recommended sinus surgery again as my sinuses were extremely blocked, but he first wanted to consult with Dr. Kriet at KU Med. He felt that Dr. Kriet had the experience in dealing with the nose, and may want to address this himself right away. I trusted my ENT doctor and his recommendation, but with my past experience of bad doctors, I also read everything I could online about Dr. Kriet before my visit. Dr. Kriet reviewed my case, met with me, and in April, I had surgery. Needless to say, my nose was a very difficult case, but the outcome is amazing! I can breathe through my nose, which is huge, and I also sleep better than I ever have, the bump on my nose is hardly there, and my nose is straight! That has given me greater confidence in the way I look now.
If you need/want to have reconstructive/plastic surgery and want it done correctly, Dr. Kriet is the doctor for you!
