I had open rhinoplasty surgery performed by Dr Nikesh Patel. At this time of writing this review, I am 6 weeks post-op and very happy with my results! Before meeting Dr P, I visited 3 practices before his. All the other doctors had much fancier offices, fancy photoshop technology, and 2-3 other people in the room with us during the consultation (assistants, physician interns, etc.). For someone like ME, all the above was very distracting and overwhelming. Dr P did not really have any of that but surprisingly, I ended up preferring it! We met one-on-one, I was able to concentrate, and I felt much more at ease. Sure photoshop technology is cool but all it really is— is smoke and mirrors! I appreciated that Dr P kept things simple, asked me what I wanted, and talked me through all of the steps. Also, the staff and assistants in his office are really nice and accommodating.
Regarding pricing, I felt it was reasonable and affordable compared to some of the other quotes I got. Still, a cosmetic procedure is no place to cut corners trying to just get the cheapest price.
One thing worth mentioning is that although I prepaid for the entirety of the surgery upfront, after my surgery I received a bill for $150 from the anesthesiologist for apparently being in surgery for longer than estimated. I guess I didn’t mind.. I may have been warned of this but cannot recall. It is not a big deal but just thought I’d mention to any prospective patients.
Anyway fast forward to the day of my surgery at CentraState Medical Center.... the nurses were really nice and made me feel very comfortable before my surgery. Jen from Dr Ps office also popped in to say hello which was nice of her. Dr P had great bedside manner. Obviously I don’t remember much of the surgery because I was under anesthesia but overall the hospital experience went well and the recovery in the days to follow went well. I was out of commission for about 7 days then returned to work in a week and a half. Now that I am 6 weeks post-op and much of the swelling has gone down, I can say Dr P did an amazing job and my rhinoplasty results are fantastic! I continue to see him for follow up appointments. My entire experience with him has been great and I definitely recommend for rhinoplasty.
