This doctor is very patient, kind, and knowledgeable. I have been seeing Dr. Hwang for many years and he never disappoints I always get the best treatment. Thank you Dr. Hwang!

    The quality of care at Stanford is unmatched. Dr. Hwang is incredible. I have HHT a very rare blood…read moredisease. His knowledge and manner of dealing with the issue and his advocating for the proper treatment of such was remarkable. I have had multiple surgeries, including the removal of turbinates in both nostrils. They can come back and I'm proof. This is a teaching facility. Not seeing Dr. Hwang has never been concerning. They have always been professional and their work extraordinary. As someone who has to drive 3 1/2 hours EACH WAY, I wouldn't hesitate to encourage others to come and see Dr. Hwang. If you have HHT, Dr. Hwang may be the answer he was to l for me. Fewer nosebleeds and better quality of life. Thank you, Dr. Hwang! I've spent 52 years having people look up my nose and pretend to know about HHT. I've been butchered by almost every single one EXCEPT Dr. Hwang. My wait was about 5 or 7 minutes in the waiting room and then 4-6 before I saw the assistant and a few more to see the assistant and Dr Hwang. The man advocates for patients with insurance companies! I have an HMO and I haven't paid anything. If you have an HMO and have ever needed a specialist who knows about an issue that only 5% of the world population has ever heard of/had, you'll know how rare it is to get your needs met as well as a doctor who will fight for you. I have always been informed this or that may not work and to be patient. My point, have patience and appreciate the work this man has dedicated his life to. People like him are so very crucial for people like me.

    I'm 1 month post op and I can't say enough of how life changing meeting Dr. Most was for me. I had…read morelived with complicated case of a fractured nose requiring a septoplasty and turbinate reduction-- I couldn't breathe through it for the majority of my life. I was nervous as I had never gone under for a major surgery like this, but Dr. Most and his staff were very personable and made me comfortable the entire time. In terms of results, I couldn't have asked for anything better. My nose looks even better than it did pre-op, it's actually symmetrical! Not only that, the quality of my sleep improved from 70% to 93% according to my sleep tracker. I can breathe so easy now. I had ended up getting a rib graft; pre-op Dr. Most had informed me before as a precaution and reassured me it was the best course of action. I had experienced no bruising on my face and swelling was noticeable but not egregious. The rib recovery wasn't as bad as I thought, very tender and minimal range in the early days but I was able to stop using the pain medication fairly quickly. It can take awhile from pre-op visits to the actual surgery date considering how in demand he is. Once you've established yourself as his patient, definitely use the myHealth app as suggested by his staff. It is much easier to communicate that way instead of phone. All in all, I would highly recommend Dr. Most to everyone. A huge thank you to him and his staff.

    We were referred to Dr. Most for a complicated functional revision case. Before scheduling, I…read moreexplained that we live in San Diego and asked whether the consultation could be done virtually. I was told that I needed to be evaluated in person. I also explained that I already had a CT scan and an assessment from another revision surgeon that I wanted reviewed, but was told the imaging would not be reviewed beforehand. I was reassured that patients travel from all over to see Dr. Most, so I believed making the trip would be worthwhile. We spent a significant amount of time, money, and energy traveling to San Francisco and also paid several hundred dollars for the consultation. Unfortunately, I left feeling extremely disappointed. In my experience, the examination felt very brief. Dr. Most examined my nose in person, but I did not feel that my functional concerns or existing imaging were meaningfully evaluated. I repeatedly explained the severity of my breathing problems and offered to provide my CT scan, but he did not appear interested in reviewing it because his own examination did not reveal a significant problem that he believed he could address. What made this particularly confusing was that before this appointment, another highly experienced revision surgeon, Dr. Robotti, had reviewed my CT and given me a detailed assessment. He wrote that the imaging demonstrated an external nasal valve issue, predominantly on the left, along with septal deviation, enlarged turbinates, and recurvature of the lower lateral cartilage obstructing the nasal valve, particularly on the left. He characterized what I was seeking as primarily functional rather than cosmetic. I understand and respect that different surgeons can reach different conclusions and that a surgeon has every right to decide that a patient or procedure is not a good fit. My disappointment is with the consultation experience itself. After explaining beforehand that I had significant functional symptoms, existing imaging, and another specialist's assessment--and then being told I needed to travel to San Francisco for an in-person evaluation--I expected those materials and concerns to receive a more thorough evaluation before being told there was essentially nothing he wanted to address. I wish I had understood beforehand that the CT and prior assessment were unlikely to play a meaningful role in the consultation. Had I known that, I could have made a more informed decision about whether it made sense to spend the time and money traveling from San Diego for the appointment.
