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.

Getting this surgery was by far the biggest mistake of my life. I initially looked great at cast removal and for the first 2-3 months. But then my nose soon started shrinking and collapsing. I was horrified to find out that that way too much cartilage and tissues had been removed, and I was soon left with a pig snout with a pointy tip, huge flared nostrils, a collapsed bridge and major breathing issues. I’ve already spent close to $50,000 since this surgery in travel costs, consultation fees with revision experts around the world and reconstruction fees. Most surgeons told me that the technique used on my nose was popular in the 80’s but it is no longer widely used and it is irreversible. I used to be very beautiful, but this surgery ruined my looks and my sanity. I have immense regrets and wish that I could turn back time and never meet this doctor. Comment: I requested my medical report from the hospital. It mentions that during my surgery, « a variety of cartilages and tissues up to 1.1 inch in length » had been collected from my nose!!! Why would a surgeon ever do that to a patient who had requested very conservative changes in the first place? This makes absolutely no sense!!!

This surgery ruined my life. Horrible results!

I was also told that this is the same technique that had been used on Michael Jackson’s nose! I used to be very beautiful, but this surgery ruined my looks and my sanity. I have immense regrets and wish that I could turn back time and never meet this doctor.

I had my nose done by Dr. Tobias when I was 16 years old. When I went in for a follow up I was upset with the results.. i had scar tissue form on the inside of my nostrils, scar tissue form in a sharp point on my bridge after the surgery, and it was still bulbous and long. I told him i was not happy with the results and his exact statement was to me was.. “i’ll scrape the scar tissue off your bridge but Alex, I can’t be your therapist” He has a terrible bedside manner and how dare you speak to a teenager who is in tears in your office that way.. Dr. Tobias.. I am a therapist now and you’d be a horrible one.

After having three prior procedures, other physicians were reluctant to perform another surgery. Dr. Tobias embraced the challenge. My experience with Dr. Tobias and his staff was outstanding! Dr. Tobias is a brilliant surgeon with the esthetic vision of an artist. It would be a pleasure to recommend Dr. Tobias to anyone who would require his unparalleled expertise!

Stay away ! He does not know what he is doing. The results needed correcting as he said himself and the new result was not much improved with all kinds of complications resulting immediately to couple years later.
