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.

Worst surgeon ever!
Went in just for a cosmetic rhinoplasty. Came out with health issues, a broken nose, lopsided and unable to breathe or smell. The surgery was suppose to be around 6k and it ended up being well over $24,000 after all the bills they sent me. They refused to redo my surgery even though “Dr” Ardan messed up big time and promised to redo it for free as he refused to see me and canceled my appointment after several times, including one appointment by making me wait to see him for 4 hours in the lobby then told me he left for an “emergency” and need reschedule for the 4th time. The lack of care is incredibly hurtful. Refusing to see me and check on me after a month of surgery and Instead he left damaged by breaking the side of my nose. Listen to the other bad reviews and trust them do not go here

Please, save yourself the headache and pay the extra $10,000 and go to a real plastic surgeon for your nose! My nose is lopsided, not straight and I can no longer breathe through my left nostril. It's been almost two years and my sense of smell has not returned either. Dr. Arden says there is nothing he could do to fix it, now I have to go to a real plastic surgeon that will harvest cartilage from my ribs and possibly from my ear to fix my nose. What was supposed to be a routine hour and a half surgery, turned into a 4 hour nightmare that has ruined my life. The cost to fix my nose is $31,000. Dr. Arden should be drug tested before every surgery he performs. I hope you see this before this doctor ruins your face as he did mine! Save yourself the pain and suffering.

I went to see Dr.Arden for my breathing problem.I was born with deviated septum and bump on my bridge of my nose.After first consultation with Dr.Arden I was so happy with his professional approach and the surgery was scheduled.Surgery went well no complications and recovery was even better!No black eyes and almost no swelling. I’m so excited now after 5 weeks after my surgery I can finally breathe better! I would recommend Dr.Arden to anyone.Office stuff is also 5/5 always on time.

I had a forehead flap reconstruction. In my opion did not go with the minimum scaring as Doctor Arden said it would. I was left with a scare on my forehead and it didn’t even come close to matching my nose.when I had my staples removed and stitches was told that I don’t scare well now what professional tells you that after you were told I would have minimum scaring. Jus very disappointed when I trusted someone that is suppose to be the best in his field and see photos and how great thy look.

Dr. Arden is the best! I had seen 4 doctors for my deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, and broken nose. I didn't feel comfortable getting surgery with the other doctors, and most of the doctors I saw could only do the interior, or only the exterior. Dr. Arden was able to improve my breathing drastically and make the outside of my nose look even better than it did before I broke it! I was nervous at first but Dr. Arden made me feel at ease. Very kind and an artist with nose work!

I recently had surgery with Dr. Arden to correct my sinus/breathing issues. He heard my concerns and addressed them in terms that were easy to understand. I could not be happier with the surgery, consultation & follow up visit. The Dr. and staff are thorough and professional. In addition, the day of my surgery, Dr. Arden phoned me at 7 p.m. to see how I was feeling. That was above and beyond my expectation. Excellent bedside manner. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Arden performed rhinoplasty on me in April, 2007 and it was one of the very best things I have ever done for myself! The surgery changed my life! He did everything he could to explain the procedure in terms I could understand and although I was very nervous, I felt very comfortable and at ease. If anyone is ever considering having this surgery done, I would highly recommend Dr. Arden.

Dr. Arden is one of the most knowledgeable, talented, and thoughtful physicians I have ever seen. He was able to explain things in terms that I can understand as well as help me feel at ease with surgery. He listened to what I wanted and definitely delivered!! I couldn't be happier with my surgical experience, consultation, or follow-ups. I will definitely refer all of my friends and family to him.

I was pleasantly surprised by the service and care at this clinic. The receptionist was quite polite and helpful and Dr. Arden listened to all my concerns and history of illnesses and were very reassuring. I will go back in few weeks for a major treatment now that I feel that I can trust this physician and the clinic. Thank you.

Complained of chronic cough and sinusitis. On the day of my second appointment I just received notice of my mother passing, had no time to shower prior to appointment. Obviously did not see swollen tonsil when he had me open my mouth wide for an examination. He told me I stink and could be smelled down the hallway. Response was you don't have to treat me like I am a wierdo. Seriously would like a zero star option for this review as I found him entirely destructive.

Dr. Arden did a reconstruction on my nose to improve breathing. While I can breath great now, I asked for small cosmetic changes and received a huge change to the look of my nose. My nose looks completely different, is off center and my nostrils are completely asymmetric. It has been a really bad experience. I would not recommend Dr. Arden.

Dr. Arden has been my E.N.T Specialist going on eight years now, everytime I have a appointment , when leaving his office there's a feeling of relief , Dr. Arden not only takes care of my medical issues, he's always , friendly and compassionate, and has always been sincere when reviewing any health issues by explaining them in detail. He is highly recognized within his field of expertise, and I would definately recommend him.

My sibling went to Dr. Arden for a Rhinoplasty and had a very bad experience. He caused his nose to be deformed. He has serious breathing issues caused by Dr. Arden. He pushes patients to surgery without studying their issues. The man performs aggressive and unnecessary surgery and is not good with aesthetics either. He will just make a patient look worse and breath worse as well. It doesn't help that he has a ego and manner problem.
