Dear Dr. Donath,

I just wanted to write to thank you for everything. It has been one year since my surgery and I continue to be so pleased with my results. I spent years unhappy with the size and shape of my nose, trying to convince myself that I should just “live” with it even though it made me very unhappy. I got used to it, but even after it no longer consciously bothered me, I would notice that upon meeting new people or taking photographs I would make a big effort to keep my profile out of view by looking at them head on, because inwardly I really hated my profile because of my nose. I came to a place where I felt I was an attractive person, but even though I was happy with myself, my nose took away from the rest of my face rather than complementing it. I finally got the nerve to see a couple of cosmetic surgeons for consultations, but after leaving each consult I would feel overwhelmed and pressured, and scared to go through with it.

When I finally stumbled onto your services, I was impressed with the confidence you had and the dedication you seemed to put into your training and skills. After speaking with you for the first time you immediately made me feel at ease, and not pressured in any way, while at the same time letting me ask whatever questions I wanted without feeling like you were getting “annoyed” with my million and a half concerns like some other doctors had made me feel. You answered everything knowledgeably and professionally, and you seemed like you truly cared about me as a patient and as a person, which is what finally made me decide to go through with the rhinoplasty in the end with you as my surgeon.

Since my surgery I have noticed a whole new confidence that I never had before! I was always a confidant person on the outside, but there was that little nagging bit that wouldn’t go away and I’d feel disappointed when I’d catch a view of the side profile of my nose. Now, I’m not worried about letting a date see me from the side, I revel in it, because I now LOVE my profile. My nose looks great, and it’s amazing how just changing the size and shape of my nose helped to make my eyes stand out more, balanced out my lips and made my chin more prominent, whereas before it had seemed slightly receding. All these other features were overpowered by my nose before, but not anymore. Not only does my nose now look fantastic, you took into account exactly how I wanted it to be and made it so natural looking that friends I had known for over a decade didn’t realize what I had done at first. (And as a huge bonus, I can now breathe far easier since you straightened out my deviated septum!) My friends would all ask me if I had changed something about myself, because they thought I looked fantastic, they just couldn’t put their finger on what it was. When I told them I got a “nose job”, they all told me how amazing it looked, and how natural! People that had previously told me they thought plastic surgery was for insecure people were now asking me for the name and number of my surgeon (you!) because it didn’t look like I had had anything “done”– it looked fantastic, beautiful, natural, and brought out the overall harmony of my face in such a subtle, yet significant, way. I am so happy with it that I tell everyone I know that I got a rhinoplasty done because I know they’d be so impressed with the before-and-after! I cannot thank you enough for everything, it is truly a gift that will be making me happy for the rest of my life! Thanks again!

Yours Truly,

Hi Dr. Donath!

I just wanted to thank you for your fine surgical work performed on me on Sept.17th.The entire Quick Lift and results have been more than satisfactory, and I have received numerous compliments on my new face. The most important opinion is of course my own and my husband ‘ s and we are both very pleased.

Prior to committing to surgery I researched and visited several local plastic surgeons and was very disappointed with the manner in which their personnel handled prospective surgery candidates. My experience was much the same at each practice and included a very brief face to face meeting with a staff member (not an R. N. and never the surgeon), being asked what my interests were, and receiving brochures .

After my visit there were no follow-up phone calls or emails. Conversely, at my initial visit to your office I was given a very comprehensive description of the Quick Lift by Ellen Fox, who took her time and answered all of my questions. It was Ellen who allayed any fears I may have had about the surgery and results. She explained every detail from pre-surgery instructions to post-surgery care and final expectations. If I had not been able to see you personally my decision to have the surgery was made because
of Ellen, who also was very helpful with my pre-surgery phone questions. I of course was very glad to talk with you personally about the surgery and expectations at that first visit and you gave me added assurance about my decision to schedule the procedure. I am very grateful to both you and Ellen. I also reiterate my gratitude for the lovely flowers I received the day after surgery.

They were a lovely surprise that cheered me up. I believe the most compelling testimonial from a patient would be their response to t h e question, “knowing the experience would you do this again,” and my answer is definitely ” yes .” And I will definitely send my friends and acquaintances who seek facial enhancements to you. Thanks again for a very pleasant experience and excellent results. (I’m sure I’ll be back soon to get my puffy eyes fixed.)

Sincerely,

The doctor and entire staff at Donath Facial Plastic Surgery were very considerate and caring during and after the procedure and the follow-ups. Dr. Donath called me on the night after surgery, just to make sure I was doing alright. I recommend them highly to anyone interested in facial plastic surgery.

The procedure was very easy, more than what I expected. There was no pain or discomfort for me after the procedure. The whole staff was great before, during and afterwards. I would recommend this doctor to anyone considering this procedure. I was very pleased with the outcome.

Dear Alex,

I forgot to thank you for the beautiful flowers you sent me! They are so cheery in their cure little smiley-face vase! And I want to thank you for your skillful work in removing awnings from my eyes. Even through the bruising I can see how good my eyes will be. I’m thrilled!

Thankfully

I have never had a doctor with such a fantastic bedside manner. He never made me feel rushed or like I was “just another patient.” All of my concerns were fully addressed and the pre-care and concern- fantastic! The results- I would need to write a book- I am so excited and thrilled with the actual procedure, the results- fantastic. I feel like an almost teenager again. It’s so truly amazing how looking younger and being satisfied with what I see in the mirror actually mimics itself to the inside. I have a renewed, younger spirit and feel like dancing and singing all the time- I just feel happier- Looking younger on the exterior doesn’t change who you are but it definitely makes you really appreciate who you are more as a total package!!!

The concern and follow up care again has been a wonderful experience and I say again – how refreshing to have a fantastic doctor Who really cares, listens and gives you the results he promises- I’d do it over again in a heart beat!

Dr. Donath- You’re the ONE!!!

Dear Dr. Donath & Staff,

Thanks so much for everything! I have appreciated your kindnesses, your openness to questions, your professionalism and making me feel safe in your care.

God Bless,

Dear Dr. Donath,

I would just like to express my sincere gratitude for your excellent work, patience and understanding. You never made me feel rushed or uncomfortable. I genuinely felt you were as concerned with my face and neck, etc. as I was.

Words cannot express the new lease on life I know you have given to me. I even feel younger! Thank you again for your attention to detail and for caring. You are the best!

Fondly,

From the moment that I met Dr. Donath and the staff at Donath Facial Plastic Surgery, I knew that I was in good hands. My family and I were treated with upmost respect and politeness. Pre and post operative procedures were carefully and accurately explained to me. Dr. Donath and his staff were always easy to access if I had any questions or concerns. I do not regret any part of my surgery decision. I couldn’t be happier with the end result. I have already recommended The Donath Facial Plastic Surgery group to my friends and family.

Dear Dr. Donath,

I wanted you to know how extremely ecstatic I am about the incredible job you were able to perform on the cosmetic-reconstructive rhinoplasty surgery.

I consulted with eight other board certified plastic surgeons each time leaving their office with a feeling of uneasiness and very unsatisfied.

After my initial consultation with you and your staff I knew you were the only doctor I felt completely and 100% satisfied with being able to achieve the results I was looking for.

You and your staff went above and beyond the call of duty, making me feel important, handling all the necessary arrangements and making me feel completely as ease.

I was not just a patient, I felt like family!

The end result was even more amazing than I could have anticipated! You have done an amazing job and I would definitely recommend you to anyone considering plastic surgery.

If I could give any of your future patients a piece of advice it would be “Don’t waste your time considering any other Doctor, Dr. Donath is the only way to go!

Again I can’t even express how unbelievably happy you’ve made me with the end results. Congratulations on a job very well done!
