Where the practice speaks for itself
The practice's own wording lives on nosefacemd.com. Any lines it publishes there about procedures or results are the ones to read and keep exactly as written. Those lines, not a summary of them, are what you can hold the practice to at a consult.
The published rating and review count
Google shows a 5 rating across 14 reviews. On Google rating, highest first, the practice is listed third. The score is the top of the scale, and the review base behind it is the smallest of the three practices tied at that score.
Pros and cons
- Pro: a top Google rating.
- Pro: a website of its own, nosefacemd.com, where its own wording can be read.
- Con: the review base is small, so one score carries a lot of weight.
- Con: no published line about its procedures is quoted here.
Statements worth confirming
Any claim on nosefacemd.com about results deserves a direct question. Ask how results are described, how they are measured, and whether any examples shown belong to the surgeon you would see.
Where it fits among the alternatives
