I'm not entirely pleased at the moment with what he did for me, but see him as a very talented surgeon, with a lot of demand on his time. I think he needs an added staff person, a nurse with a specialty in cosmetic surgery, so there's someone who knows the range of options and the details of care and has the time to talk to you. That would help assure that communication between Dr. Spiegel, his clients and his staff is more complete.
My suggestion is to insist on complete and clear communication, spend time with him or his assistants, and get opinions from others about procedure options and care. Then you are a very well informed consumer, and you and he will know just what you want. I would also like Dr. Spiegel himself to be just a little less agreeable, and be more open with clients what their choices mean.
