Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The opposite of what I hoped for.
I was referred to Dr Seeley by an ENT who I visited for a collapsed, deviated septum. During my initial consultation I asked if my septioplasty (covered by insurance) would address the crookedness of my bridge, I was told no and would require a full rhinoplasty to fix it. I requested pictures to depict what the after would look like, as I was fond of my nose and simply wanted to address the septum and bridge which were misaligned from an injury, you would have thought this was the first time someone requested this . I was nervous because I loved my nose from one profile and didn’t want the procedure to change it. The results of my procedure have left me in a state of depression for 2 years, my nose which was pixie like prior to my procedure is now drooped, appears hooked and wide, family and friends agree. I feel less confident and frankly ignored. I shared my concerns with Dr. Seeley in every post op appt I had, and was summarily dismissed. I wish I had never done it.

Dr seeley seemed to have no compassion
My sinus dr suggested I see dr seeley due to my chronic rhinitis which was shown in a ct scan! I had the clarifax procedure in March and that did not work! My sinus dr said he thought my nasal valve collapsed so referred me to seeley! Dr seeley looked in my nose and told me my nasal valve was not collapsed which was a relief! He then said my sinuses are fine and my sinus issues are in my head! If I don’t think I have an issue I won’t have an issue! What kind of nonsense is that! This made me so mad!! Somehow some drs lose their empathy for patients! He told me I was basically crazy! Instead of jyst saying there was no way he could help me cause I did big need surgery! he had to make me feel like I was nuts I am not! My rhinitis is not controlled! I drove 45 minutes to feel belittled!

Dr. Karter changed my life. I am so happy with my rhinoplasty, and, a year later, everything looks so beautiful and natural. I feel so happy and confident, and would absolutely recommend Dr. Karter for anyone looking for a rhinoplasty or any procedure with a kind, communicative, and talented doctor. Thank you to everyone at the CT Facial Plastic Surgery office as well for being so friendly and helpful from the very start!

Very Talented Facial Plastic Surgeon
I saw Dr. Seeley for a cosmetic concern. He addressed all my questions and put me at ease about the procedure. Once I had the procedure I was immediately pleased with the results. He did a wonderful job and his office has to be one of the best I have visited.

I had my first appointment to check a bit red visible sign. the visit took about ten minutes and was told I was totally fine, no needed any treatment. but I got a bill more than $950. I even did not know that I was given the Nasal Endoscopy until I got the bill. I called the billing department four times within two months and was told about they did not hear back from the office. I called again and then learned about they could do nothing and I will have to pay for more than $600 after my insurance. I tried to ask for a bit help during such a challenging time period and was so upset about the very expensive charge. I still believe that it was not necessary to give me the very expensive Endoscopy when I just had ( still have some times) a bit red and visible sign. I definitely wish Dr. Seeley could do me a favor to remove the charge on the extra Endoscopy left on my balance. Any help would be appreciated.

Dr. Brook Seeley is very knowledgeable! He explains why his diagnosis is what it is and the best course of treatment. He explains everything on a very understandable level and is very caring. I’m so lucky he discovered that my allergies were causing my ear discomfort! I would have gone on thinking I needed antibiotics and been wrong. Sure enough when I started his treatment plan of Allegra D, Flonase, and pinching and blowing my nose, I felt much better in a couple days time. I felt so relieved that a problem I had been having for weeks was resolved in days! Truly amazing to have a doctor that knows what he’s doing and thorough with his exam! Very grateful for Dr.Seeley!

My family has been going to Dr. Seeley for years -- his skill and professionalism are unparalleled. There is no one I would trust with my or my children's health more than Dr. Seeley. The procedures he performed were not "cosmetic" in nature, but the outcomes were aesthetically perfect! Some people seeking cosmetic surgery who go in with unrealistic expectations. I would pay no attention to the "one star" reviews. Dr. Seeley is "5 stars" across the board!

I went to Dr Seeley for a first rhinoplasty/chin implant. Years later I have to get a revision because Dr Seeley did such a mess of a job. He is very arrogant and doesn't listen. I am now seeing a very talented plastic surgeon in Newport Beach, CA and he said my rhinoplasty is a disaster. Dr Seeley unnecessarily took out all the cartilage out of my nose, leaving my nose to collapse. He also placed an enormous chin implant that doesn't match my face. All he cares about is $$. Please avoid.
