I am very happy with my procedure results. Dr. Hilinski and the staff were very responsive and helpful before, during, and after the procedure. They provided me with a lot of helpful information that made me feel comfortable entrusting my care in their hands. I had met a few other doctors but none made me feel as comfortable or confident with their care.

From the minute I walked into the door, the staff made me feel comfortable, and throughout the entire procedure. In addition, the follow-up care was completely thorough.

My experience here at Dr. Hilinski's has been great. The staff is super nice and attentive. I immediately felt confident in choosing Dr. Hilinski because of his knowledge, experience, and patience. The procedure went smoothly and at 3 months my results are exactly what he promised me and better than I hoped for.

I am so happy with my new nose, my only regret is not doing it 10 years earlier! Dr. Hilinski and staff are wonderful consummate professionals. If I have to nitpick, I do wish the slight residual cartilage indentation at the very tip of my nose were not visible- but I have extremely thin skin, and it's only in certain light. Similarly, I had two residual bony bumps rasped down 11 months post-op, and I would have been happier without them, but that is just the reality you face with rhinoplasty. The rasping procedure was far easier and more painless than I expected! I cannot wait to see the final results after the swelling comes down.
