“Went in for a rhinoplasty with Dr. Shah and was very disappointed with the results. The simulations looked nothing like how I did afterward- he didn’t take down my tip enough, so it looked much larger than it did previously. I asked to have my “German bump” reduced- it was shaved down from the top, which I was thrilled about, but not from the sides – still giving my nose a bumpy and strange look. After results that I wasn’t pleased with (and being told that it was just “shading” and that I should just push on the bones to make them go where I wanted them to go), I had an accident that left my nose broken. I desperately tried to work with Dr. Shah to figure out how to get it fixed, and his office continually gave me the run-around and cancel appointments with me until I ran out of time to have it fixed (the nose starts healing into the new position after about a week) and went through my insurance instead. Any reviews I’ve posted explaining my experience, Dr. Shah is extremely defensive and borderline offensive towards me. Regardless, I think others should know my experience and take it into consideration! My advice would be to pick someone else to entrust your face with! — Update: as a response to Dr. Shah’s comment, yes, my procedure was a few years ago, though that is not relevant. I am having a revision completed by Dr. Stephen Weber, who has made it apparent that these issues were in fact issues and are correctable. I think it would be pretty crazy to go back to a physician who did not do what he said he would do, and failed me as his patient when I experienced trauma to my nose. Your patients deserve better, and I hope you’ve improved your practice since I had my procedure. Update #2: Dr. Shah keeps changing the comment he leaves, I’m not sure why. The previous one was very defensive. As a follow-up, Dr. Weber is FANTASTIC! Go to him!”
