I was scheduled for surgery which I cancelled after reading some really bad reviews on this forum…read more Going under general anesthesia is a very big deal and a patient should feel safe. Nonetheless, my surgery was prepaid in full, which the doctor requires to book the date, which is odd to me but nonetheless, guess what? Fighting to get my money back. Imagine that. I didn't have surgery yet they don't want to give me back over 20k. I have sent multiple notes to the office demanding my money back and still nothing. Thankfully I can dispute it with my credit card company. Extremely extremely disappointed in this experience.

Dr. Tadros performed a rhinoplasty and a then a revision rhinoplasty on me years ago…read more I trusted her and she gave me the exact opposite of what she promised me. She told me what I wanted to hear in my consultations, acted like the most confident surgeon ever and then had no idea what she was doing. My first surgery had poor results which she offered to fix at no cost to me. When she tried to fix it, she only made it worse. She has permanently altered my confidence and I struggle with accepting my appearance daily. In the attached picture, photo 1 is my original nose. I wanted to remove the bump and have a straight nose with no slope (as pictured in photo 2). Photo 2 is a digitally altered photo that was provided to me by a surgeon I consulted before using Dr. Tadros. Dr. Tadros was shown photo 2 as a reference and promised me that this is the result I would get and it would have "NO SLOPE". Photo 3 is the work of Dr. Tadros. She probably has forgotten all about me by now..... but I think about her every day.

My daughter had vaginoplasty surgery with Dr. Purohit in May 2022. We met with him the first time…read moreDecember 2021. When we first met with Dr Purohit, he was very thorough and patient. He took the time to answer all of our questions and used the whiteboard in the exam room to visually diagram the different options in a way that made it easy to understand. We never felt rushed and we could tell pretty quickly he was the surgeon we wanted to use. From there, we started the scheduling process and started working with Sam in the office to get everything sorted out. Having Sam on our team made us feel like we were having a VIP experience. Sam walked us through every step of the process from billing to paperwork to accommodations (since we are from out of town), to what to expect every step of the process. Sam did the communications with all of the departments to make sure everything went smoothly. I honestly feel like we could not have done this without her help. Dr. Purohit did a wonderful job on the surgery and my daughter is extremely happy with the outcome and functionality of her new vagina and vulva, but we all know behind the scenes experiences can make or break the final outcome. Sam did an amazing job coordinating everything and making sure we were taken care of every step of the way. At one point after my daughter surgery, she had a small issue that put us in the emergency room and Dr Purohit's team was at her bedside within five minutes of us arriving, even before an ER nurse or doc. They were able to fix the issue and put everything at ease. After the surgery, our questions and need for assistance did not stop, and Dr Purohit and his team were always there to help us with whatever we needed. It has been over two months and my daughter is completely healed, and I still feel like Sam and Dr Purohit are family. Dr. Purohit is very obviously a brilliant surgeon, and very good at what he does, but he also cares about his patients and is willing to go the extra mile to make sure the experience is top notch from start to finish. Highly recommend. I was a very nervous mother and I'm so thankful for the care we received from Dr Purohit, Sam, and the rest of the behind-the-scenes team.

Five stars is not nearly enough for Dr. Charles Thorne, the man who gave me my life back…read more My story is as follows. In the beginning of 2020, I had a deep plane facelift with a "triple board", 5 star facial only surgeon in Orange, CT. I had the beginning of slight jowling, (the only thing that bothered me). Although he did a good job on my jowls, my ears went from small, unattached to horrific, pulled down pixie ears that looked glued to my face. As if that were not bad enough, the worst possible thick,red, ropey scars around them. My tragus was flat, (I didn't even know what a tragus was prior to a lift but once it is gone you will know because you will look weird). The original doctor did 3 rounds of steroids which made the scars flatter but wider. My sideburn hair was gone so I will need a hair transplant there. The scars under my hairline were also thick and lower than he told me it would be. I had makeup tattooed there but it did not help much to cover the scars. I looked fine from the front IF my hair was in front of my ears. If the wind blew I looked like a freak. I had to cover the scars with tons of makeup but you could still see them. I declined vacations with friends even though I told them I had a fl. My life consisted of work, reading, netflix and googling reasons why bad face lifts happen. In my case too much skin was removed as well as too much tension. I decided to try and find someone to give me a scar revision. I was told I would need a mini lift or a V-Y plasty (that would leave a 1-2 inch scar along your cheek to jawline) After spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars on consultations, I found either the surgeons don't want to fix someone else's mess, or they don't know how. But I did notice the look of horror when they examined my ears. A couple of doctors had even suggested going back to the original doctor. My doctor said he will need to do a redo mini lift and it will only cost me $1K for the local anesthesia (Of course I had to pay for hotels, not to mention a couple of weeks off work) Well the same thing happened, I should have known if he didn't do it right the first time he doesn't know what he's doing. I spent thousands on lasers that did nothing to help the scars. I came across Dr. Ronald Edelson in San Diego whom I considered going to. During his consultation he told me he fixes many pixie ears from bad surgery. His work on instagram is very natural,the only problem was he is across the country. I then came across Gia and another woman's review of Dr. Thorne and how he did their revisions (for other issues) and they were happy. Looking at Dr. Thorne's instagram, I noticed doctors commenting on how brilliant he is. I felt hope for the first time in 3 years. Dr. Thorne is incredible. He fixes ears that were bitten off by a dog, or mangled in an accident or children born with deformed ears. Check his work out. Dr. Thorne suggested against a V-Y plasty (which was how my original doctor wanted to fix it for a 3rd time.) due to the scar it would leave along my jaw line. Fast forward, I had my surgery, a pixie ear revision but with a slight facelift. My ears are like they were prior. The thick scars all around my ears are now gone and look like normal facelift scars. He removed a ton of scar tissue to give me back my tragus. He even pulled up the scars along my hairline near my neck so they look much better. My friends & family could not believe the difference. How he did this without making me look like Joan Rivers I don't know. My face came out even better than I thought possible. I think it came out even better than the doctor thought possible. A revision is not as simple as a facelift. A 3rd revision takes real talent and many doctors just can't do it. Make sure when considering a facelift you look at ears, scars, tragus and not just the jaw line. If hair is covering those areas in the after picture that is not a good sign. If they have a billboard or spend a lot of money on advertising, be careful. If they have an exceptional amount of reviews be careful. Thank you Dr. Thorne!

A complete disaster…read more This review is based on my personal experience with Dr. Thorne. In 2014 I had my first deviated septum surgery together with rhinoplasty and otoplasty by a Dr. in New York City. After recovery, it was clear that my breathing didn't get any better, and the aesthetic outcome was very underwhelming. A few years past and I was ready to fix all of the above and go through the revision procedure. I met with a plastic surgeon in New York City who said he doesn't specialize in otoplasty, and he highly recommended Dr. Thorne for the revision. I looked online, and Dr. Thorne seemed very promising. I booked my appointment and met Dr. Thorne in his office on the upper east side. He was amiable and asked me to point out my concerns. In a detailed conversation, I shared everything I wanted to address in the revision surgery. We met a few more times to review things, and on multiple occasions, Dr. Thorne repeatedly said, "I can probably make it better," referring to all three concerns mentioned. I set up a revision surgery for all three issues with full trust and a good feeling about Dr. Thorne, helping with my deviated septum, rhinoplasty, and otoplasty. The price tag was high, but Dr. Thorne made me feel confident, and I did everything I could to come up with the money and move forward with the procedure. On the morning of the (first) surgery, Dr. Thorne and I reviewed everything we discussed previously. I made it very clear to Dr. Thorne that I want the most minimal intervention; specifically, I requested not to alter the bridge of my nose and the upper part. I wanted him to focus on the tip of the nose, the deviated septum for the breathing, and the ears. The surgery time was set for 3.5 hours but ended up being 6.5 hours, 3 hours longer than expected. I woke up from the anesthesia later with a patch of tape on my eye with a stinging feeling. Dr. Thorne accidentally slit the surface of my eye during surgery!!! At my state, post-surgery, while slowly coming out of the anesthesia, I couldn't discuss what went wrong and the root cause for the complications, specifically the damage to my eye. Therefore I got discharged and was picked up to start my recovery. At home, while recovering, I've started noticing a few things which alarmed me and made me question the success of the surgery. My left eye was bleeding due to the cut I've experienced during the surgery. My left eye had to remain shut to avoid the burning sensation. As per Dr. Thorne, this happened on accident, since they "forgot" to tape down my eyes during the surgery. Secondly, once the swelling around my nose subsided, I noticed a huge dent in my nose, which left it crooked and deformed, as seen in the image attached. Needless to say, that during our pre-surgery consultation, this was not the intended shape of the nose and was an unnecessary alteration of my nose. Lastly, the ears looked asymmetrical. They had visible scarring and hard creases, which remain until this day, making my everyday life uncomfortable while wearing a mask, sunglasses, or merely holding the phone to my ears. During the check up appointments, Dr. Thorne admitted that revision surgery is required to correct the mistakes made, as described above. We've set a new date for the revision surgery, and Dr. Thorne covered in full the revision, taking responsibility for the outcome. Although this offer was expected, another surgery meant more down-time and recovery, which took a toll on me financially as a creative freelancer due to my inability to commit to projects. The revision surgery outcome was far from satisfying, and the experience became traumatic on physical and psychological levels. After recovering from the revision surgery, Dr. Throne admitted that another surgery might be necessary. At this point, I met with a few plastic surgeons for a second opinion. They were surprised at the outcome since Dr. Throne is a renowned plastic surgeon, but all agreed, as did Dr. Throne, that an additional revision should be made. After selecting the new plastic surgeon, they've contacted Dr. Throne's office to learn about both procedures. When I inquired regarding a refund to fund the surgery with another doctor, Dr. Throne cut communication with me in a defensive email, which implied that he wouldn't refund the revision through a different doctor. Until this day, two years later, I'm suffering the consequences of these surgeries and am looking at another revision to fix what frankly should have been avoided in the first place. Dr. Throne is a renowned and respected \ doctor with many accolades, however, my personal experience was a disaster, and until this day I'm dealing not only with the physical mistakes but also mental hardship when looking at myself in the mirror.

When I got to the front desk, they told me that my zoom documents were not at the office.

Just before they were going to take me in at 9:40am, I wanted to cancel my appointment because I make it a practice not to wait for a physician more than 1/2 hour. I was further insulted and told that I had to cancel online. It was then an assistant pulled me into an examining room. All in all, the doctor is very good, but the front desk is not. The wait time is unacceptable, but they thought they did not have my information (turned out they did). I'll give them one more shot. Maybe it was an aberration. However, the other folks in the waiting room said that the wait time was typical.
