I was told to take antihistamines to see if it was an allergic reaction and it didn't work. Then I was told by Dr. Castellano that it wasn't the filler causing this reaction and that I would have to seek another provider because there was nothing his office could do. I found a PA who specialized in fillers and she was able to dissolve the lumps with hyaluronidase. She stated that it was a common issue with fillers that are injected incorrectly or excessively and don't dissolve. Dr. Castellano didn't put much care into my concerns when it was just a simple fix! When I emailed his office about the simple fix, he never responded.

However, I would have rather paid for the consultation and feel actually seen and heard rather than receive the free experience I had here. They were over 45 minutes late to getting me in for my appointment, that I have had for months, with no apology or update from the office staff. I asked for an update on when they'd be able to get me in and I got an "I don't know, hopefully soon." I understand being late. I don't understand acting like I'm not even there. After mentioning that I had been waiting for a long time and was planning on leaving in the next 5 mins, they were suddenly able to get me in to see Dr. Castellano, who was very nice, but talked with me for approx. 4 minutes. I have no issue with this as I know he was probably swamped and I understand the value of a doctors time. However, I never met with the surgical coordinator and I did not get pricing at all or see any mock ups for the potential rhinoplasty. They said that I wasn't able to meet the coordinator because I had to leave and I could if I waited longer. At this point it was already an hour and 15 mins after my appt time. I left because I wasn't planning on living the rest of my life in that office. It was a complete waste of time and energy. I think patient experience should be at the forefront of the office's mind especially for elective plastic surgery. Y'all gotta sell it but instead I felt dismissed and that I was inconveniencing THEM by being there.

I got my nose and chin done in Dec 2024. It has been over a year now and I simply am not happy with…read morethe results of my nose. My original nose had an over-projected tip, a large dorsal hump, long nostrils, and a bulbous tip. Dr. Davis agreed with all the imperfections of my nose. Just one month after my nose job, I started to notice irregularities of my nose. I noticed a bump on one side of my nose, which I felt and could very clearly see. I also noticed that the tip was still bulbous and now one of my nostrils seemed to collapse inward. Additionally, Dr. Davis did correct my deviated septum, although I never had any issues with breathing before, and don't notice a difference now. When I brought up my concerns to Dr. Davis, he claimed it was swelling and that I wouldn't see the final result for up to a year. So I waited a year, and my nose did not get any better. Also, just a few months after the surgery, he injected a steroid and filler in my nose. Also, he took a piece of fascia from my scalp, and I now have a bald spot there. The fascia was apparently going to be placed on the bridge to ensure a smooth look. However, there is a ridge down the center of my bridge that I can see and feel regardless of the fascia being there. It appears that the time was not taken to ensure my nose was smooth at the bridge. Anyway, at the year mark, he said that I would need a revision, and he offered to do it for free. However, after thoughtful consideration, I've decided that I do not want Dr. Davis to touch my nose again. I strongly believe that you should never go back to the same surgeon to fix what he couldn't do right the first time. I read a review from a patient that said they were constantly given the "swelling excuse", when it is not a swelling issue but a surgical skill issue. I have also read a few reviews saying he is overly confident in his abilities, which I do agree with. I remember reading these reviews before my surgery, but I ignored them because I thought it couldn't happen to me. DO NOT IGNORE THE BAD REVIEWS. Dr. Davis is a kind doctor w/ great bedside manner, but that isn't going to cut it when I paid over $18k on a nose that is now botched. I thought that I could achieve my desired results w/ dr Davis, but that wasn't the case. I don't want to sound like a Karen, but I am disappointed in the results of my nose and am truly frustrated in having to spend another few grand elsewhere to fix my nose. My nose looks bad from every angle, and you can see the asymmetry, especially from the top view. PHOTO BREAKDOWN: I have attached a few photos so you can see exactly what I'm talking about. Photos 1 and 2 are my original nose. You can see the unflattering dorsal hump. Photos 3 and 4 are just 2 weeks after having the cast removed. You can see at an angle that there is a bump on the side of my nose. The tip looks bulbous and droopy. Definitely not a lifted cute button nose like I wanted. You can see in the 4th pic how crooked my nose looks, and it doesn't look much different now. My columella looks uneven, and you can see the side bump at the view as well on the right side. The last four pictures are from today. I really dislike how crooked my nose looks from the top view (pics 5 and 7). I feel like the 4th pic (taken Jan 18 2025) looks just about the same as the 8th pic (taken February 3 2026). Which I believe confirms that swelling was not the issue. Looking at the images makes me more frustrated with how bad my nose looks at every single angle. This is not swelling. This is clumsy work. Which is especially disappointing from a surgeon who claims to specialize in facial plastic surgery and rhinoplasties. For my consultation with a plastic surgeon in Orlando in March, I will have to address the bump on the side of my nose, the ridge down the center, attempting to make my nose slightly sloped if possible, the bulbous and droopy tip, the uneven columella, the uneven nostrils, and the bald spot on my scalp, all of which Dr. Davis made worse or did not address. Also, I would like to add that Kate in the med spa is simply the best. She does a 10/5 star job every time and is the only injector I want touching my face. I get filler and Botox with her, and she always does an amazing job. She never does too much, and I always get compliments on my lips. She is the only reason I will be returning to the office. Period!

I am currently two weeks post-rhinoplasty with Dr. Davis and I already am in love with my results…read more I knew in my heart from the moment I met Dr. Davis at my consultation that I would 1) finally get this surgery for myself and 2) choose him as my surgeon, despite feeling the need to do my due diligence and see a few other doctors before making a final decision. Although his practice is on the pricier side for rhinoplasties, it's worth every penny to go for the best when you are trusting someone with reconstruction on your face! Everyone has been SO nice at every appointment. This was my first ever surgery (I know, I picked a doozy for my first) and I felt so comfortable every step of the way. As everyone else mentions, Dr. Davis' bedside manner is unbeatable. I'm not going to lie and say the recovery was pleasant at all, but I don't think it's anywhere near as bad as it could have been if I didn't have his guidance and support throughout. I did this surgery for purely cosmetic reasons but Dr. Davis did see a slight deviation in my septum while operating and straightened it out for me, making my breathing even better than I even thought possible! I already love my new nose so much and I can't wait to see it evolve over the months to come.

I rarely ever got…read morethe same technician more than once (seemed more like part-timers with a high turnover rate) and my results had seemed to slow more and more. After my last place went out of business, I started my search again and found Mary Beth's Laser Affair. The price scared me a bit at first, because it was much higher than I was used to but I was also obviously "getting what I paid for" with the other places. From the first phone call, I could tell she was very knowledgeable about all things laser hair removal, explaining the differences between different types of lasers and why I wasn't getting the results I wanted and happy to answer any and all questions I had. You can tell she really loves what she does and I hadn't found that in any of the other people I had tried, plus I love that it's her every time, instead of just another part-time technician that seemed to not even be still working at other places I tried when it was time for my next appointment. I've already noticed MUCH better results with large and even areas going way better than any of my other appointments at this point, so I'm confident I'm going to finally be getting the results I've been wanting! I can't believe I wasted so much money at all the other places for so long, when I could have gotten better results in less visits AND less overall cost too, lesson learned! Looking forward to my next visit and thanks again!

Also there was white stuff coming out of my breast and he said he cleaned it out when he did my implants ,but when I was in the hospital they found that it was not totally cleared out so they had to take care of it. Wow,if they did not find that who knows if that fluid that was not fully removed could have turned into a growth as that breast had multiple cancer tumors removed. The line on my right breast where he tried to clean it out is uneven and there is an uneven dip in the middle that will never look natural. He did not even show up at the hospital the first time as he was trying to rush the breast and belly surgery into a shorter time and the hospital caught on .As I sat in with an iv in my arm the office said do not say anything just get up and walk out no surgery today and had to wait and go to another hospital. I should have known there where problems there. I should have read as he does have prior public records for issues that he has caused. In my opinion do your research. The office also gave me a prescription with the wrong medicine and birth date so I had to make an additional trip to correct this as the pharmacy would not fill a rx with the wrong b date. In my opinion do your research and also hours wait times often.

I was referred to Dr. Naji J Baddoura (Bruce B Downs and Bearrs Ave.) by Advanced Dermatology of…read moreZephyrhills, as they could not do the surgical procedure to remove a 'growth' of some sorts from my tailbone. They said they had referred him often and there had never been a complaint. I went to see him on Jan. 17, 2020 and he examined my 'growth'; told me to get a Cat Scan and he would make his decision whether or not he would help me. I dropped the scan off at his office on Jan. 30, 2020. After 2 wks of not hearing from him, I called and the office and was told the Dr. was currently examining the scan (this is a prominent growth which was becoming larger and I was concerned about Cancer) and I would hear from him in a few days. Ten days or so, I called again and was told the Dr. was trying to determine how he would do the procedure - he would be in touch in the next few days. By the end of Fed. I was fed up and called again. This time, the associate implied I had been told the Dr. determined that the 'growth' was to deep and could not be closed - no surgery. This was not true, nothing had come my way informing me of anything. I called again and told the associate I wanted my Radiologists report and the scan disk returned which she said she would do - that was 3 weeks ago, and nothing. This Dr. had me get an Cat Scan and never even looked at the report for 2 weeks, never even taking the time to have me back in to discuss the results. He never took the time to pick up the phone and call me to let me know his decision not to do surgery. The entire organization, from receptionist (attendant), to nurse, to Dr. completely ignored me. It's 12 miles to the appt., (which I will have to make another round trip to get the report and scan disk) and time set aside for the Cat Scan, and they had 0 respect for me, all the time wasted to find a General Surgeon who agreed to help me. THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU SEE THE DR. - HIS FOR ME WAS 0, HIS TIME IS VERY VALUABLE - MINE WASN'T - HOW ABOUT YOURS!
