Dear Dr. Rizk,

I am writing this letter to you to express my profound gratitude for being the one aesthetic plastic surgeon that finally got it right and gave me a beautiful nose.

By the time I came to your office for consultation I had undergone three previous surgeries (over a period of fifteen years) performed by doctors who were considered well respected in their field. However none of them performed what needed to be done to make my nose attractive.

I never did have an ugly, deformed or broken nose -I just wanted it to be a bit more refined and slightly re shaped- a result that would give me a less harsh appearance. Instead, after those previous surgeries, I ended up with what you called a “hanging columella”, along with some other problems that need to be addressed with reconstructive surgery.

During my consultation with you I noticed how carefully you listened to all my concerns. You explained clearly everything you intended to do. You were sensitive to the fact that I had undergone an unusual amount of previous unsuccessful surgeries and you convinced me that you were not only up for the challenge but that you would be the one that would finally get it right. You were undeterred by the challenge and I admired your confidence.

Within a day or two after surgery I could see the result. I still looked like myself but my facial countenance was now softer, prettier – just as I always wanted. The surgery was a perfect success. The change was so subtle but real. No one even knew I had the surgery but I was getting compliments on how pretty I looked. No one could put their finger on what it was but the sharp hanging tip was gone and my nose was filled out a bit also, which gave it a prettier line. You gave me exactly what I wanted all these years. How can I thank you?

I thought that writing this letter for your future patients would be one way I could do that. To assure them that your hands are so gifted. You are an artist and a genius. This is what plastic/aesthetic surgery must aspire to.

I also want to thank your entire staff. Each person was so helpful and so very nice. From start to finish it was it was very gratifying experience!

Dr. Rizk is an artist and, without overdramatizing, I must say he has changed my life. Also, to give credit where credit is due, while Dr.Rizk has the surgical skills, every person on his staff contributed to making my experience enormously positive. I thank them all.

It probably goes without saying that anyone who consults a cosmetic surgeon has genuine problems and/or self-image issues. I spent 66 years stoically and with cheerfulness being complimented on my ‘personality’ while it was generally acknowledged that I was ‘a bit odd-looking’. Certainly not your Classic Beauty!

During my initial consultation with Dr.Rizk, he made me feel I could be totally straightforward with him without being judged, I felt confident about asking him [as an expert] what he felt would accomplish my stated goal. Truly, all I wanted was “to look like everyone else”.

He gave me his opinion and we proceeded. Amazingly, despite multiple procedures undertaken on one day — yes, I was very nervous! — there was no pain, no distress. I’m not comfortable with anesthesia but my anesthesiologist called me the night before surgery and completely set me at ease.

My aftercare was thorough, caring and professional; I used nurses who work with Dr.Rizk. My recovery was much quicker than I’d anticipated and, again, pain-free.

I’ve waited until a full three month after surgery to write about my experience because I know that many patients like how they look with some post-surgical swelling. I wanted to see what I looked like ‘when everything calmed down’. And I can report that I’m completely delighted with my results. More than just looking average/attractive, my friends are reporting to me that people I hardly know are telling them I look “amazing” and “beautiful”.

So now I can greet each day forgetting about my looks, confident that I’m just fine, and then focus on other people and the business of the moment. Thank you, Dr. Rizk and your very kind staff!

Dear Dr. Rizk and Staff:

I know you supply a form to get my feedback however I wanted to take the time to let you know how I feel about my experience with your office. As you know, I recently decided to get corrective surgery on my nose which was a decision I had put off for some time. Being a NYC Police Officer and private investigator, it was in my nature to conduct extensive research into physicians to ensure I was in good hands. In the midst of my research, I was referred to you by a colleague who highly recommended you. Notwithstanding a slight intimidation factor I felt going to a consult with a well known Park Ave surgeon, which was only intensified when I walked into his marble and mahogany filled office, the nature of the surgery made the choice a clear one. Immediately upon checking in at the front desk, the warm and friendly nature of your administrative staff made me feel comfortable and erased whatever feelings of intimidation I had. I experienced the same professionalism with your medical staff as I was brought back to the examination room and they were well informed about the reason for my visit. Overall, the first impression I had was outstanding.

Upon meeting you, Dr. Rizk, I had a preconceived notion that, being a successful, well known, Park Ave plastic surgeon, that you would spend very little time with me and would defer whatever questions or concerns I would have to your nurses, as I have experienced with less qualified physicians. Once again, my expectations couldn’t be further from the truth. Not only did you take the time to explain the procedure and the steps involved, you also took the time to ask about my background and occupation which impressed me. You came across like a gentleman who was extremely down to earth making the initial meeting more like a conversation between friends as opposed to a medical consult, which made me feel even more comfortable than I already was.

Last but certainly not least in my book, I met the Anesthesiologist Robert Skolnick, on the day of my surgery. His professionalism and demeanor fell right in line with what I had experienced with the entire staff up to that point which helped to put my last minute nerves at ease. The confidence that your team exudes is incredible.

In regards to the recovery process, it was just how you explained it would be. The surgical tape was removed within a week, and thanks your technique which doesn’t require packing, the overall recovery was easy and painless. Aside from a small amount of soreness, it was more than tolerable. My family was astounded at how quickly I recovered and how quickly the swelling went down. As far as receiving the result I wanted, you went above and beyond to produce a very natural look. I cannot tell you how many years I was dealing with obstructed breathing and a nose that made me feel self-conscious. This drastically improved my quality of life by giving me more confidence and allowing me to breathe better. Thanks to everyone at your office for making my experience a great one. I will see you all soon.
