Dissatisfied

by itssoeasy

I was extremely dissatisfied with my visit to Dr. Raval. I thought I would read similar reviews to my own, but it seems that the reviews are overwhelmingly positive - however, I must point out that these reviews come from patients who have had rhinoplastys and/or rhinoplasty revisions. It is my opinion that if you are seeking a filler, Botox, or laser revision, please seek a better qualified physician or Board Certified dermatologist, because this is certainly not Dr. Raval's strength. Also, don't expect to be seen in a timely fashion, even if you have an appointment. Expect to wait in a hideously - and I mean, HIDEOUSLY - decorated waiting room.

would think twice

by dominolistings

I visited Dr. Raval's office to get a consultation and lip filler. Dr. Raval was extremly late and when I sat down with him he rarely looked me in the eye and seemed distracted and disinterested, he kept looking out into the sitting area when I was trying to talk to him. I asked him about botox and how I wanted to lift my eyebrows with it. He said "botox doesn't do that". I have since had that done with another Dr., and I was very dissatisfied with my lip filler., they came out uneven and there was not enough put in. I was charged $600 total for practically nothing . A few weeks later I called his office and left a message..My call was returned 2 weeks later When I did get the call I requested some info to be sent to me..Guess what never got it......still waiting months later..Never went back..

• Pros: good location free parking in back
• Cons: staff non-pros

Love my new nose!

by CramCake

It's been two weeks and one day since my rhinoplasty with Dr. Raval. I absolutely love my new nose! Dr. Raval took extra time to meet with me before the surgery to go over the final results and answer my last-minute questions. I felt completely confident going into the surgery knowing that he and I were on the same page. My recovery has been very easy, and although there is still some normal bruising, the swelling is almost gone! Dr. Raval is very gentle with the tissues during the surgery to minimize pain and swelling. My nose shape is beautiful and very natural looking. It's the nose I have always wanted! He also corrected my deviated septum (for which he got approval from my insurance!!) and improved my breathing. Dr. Raval's staff are all very helpful and nice, and he has been very attentive during my post-operative appointments. I would highly recommend him for anyone considering facial plastic surgery!

• Pros: Attention to detail; true asthetic talent
• Cons: Length of time to schedule surgery
