I've spent many years pondering plastic surgery and interviewing for the best surgeon (I had looked into probably about 15-20 surgeons across the country), level of experience, talent as a doctor and surgeon, the painstaking detail and artistry he puts into his work, congenial bedside manner, and rarely might you hear this in combination with those listed above... reasonable price point. Dr. Ellenbogen focuses all his energy on ensuring the highest quality of medical care to each of his patients. Now, I've looked at a lot of doctors, and very rarely have I seen all four of these credentials. You have to be a very talented doctor to be able to achieve all that he has accomplished. No wonder he trains other plastic surgeons. That's why Doctor Ellenbogen has become the ""Go to Guy"" for other doctors to refer patients who have had bad nose jobs. Dr. Ellenbogen is not afraid to tackle the toughest cases. To further demonstrate his focus on quality rather than quantity, I remember I spoke with another doctor and I asked him how long a rhinoplasty would take, and he said with his years of experience, he could knock it out in about an hour. I was looking for a surgeon to take all the time necessary to ensure that my expectations are met. And that is what Dr. Ellenbogen did. We've spent many consultations discussing rhinoplasty so he knew how particular I was about it - in surgery, he spent painstaking hours on every detail on my nose alone and I am thrilled with the results. He didn't even charge me for the overtime in the operating room!
