2 months agoI want to share my experience. Recently I had a nose surgery. It was not a simple procedure because, in addition to the cosmetic part, the internal septum also needed to be corrected. The doctor handled everything perfectly. The communication was excellent, and after the surgery I had almost no swelling or bruising—only for about three days. The doctor was always available and stayed in touch. The result of my nose is simply amazing; it’s exactly what I dreamed of. I highly recommend Dr. Nilay Shah, MD.
