Business ProfileforSam Rizk, M.D.

I had paid ************ $15,000 with the understanding that he was an expert in revision rhinoplasty/reconstructive surgery, and he led me to believe he would address the issues we spoke about in surgery. I had the first surgery in 2016, but he addressed only a fraction of the issues we spoke about and made a couple of issues worse. Back then, I thought the issues that had been unaddressed were left there because they were not fixable, or I assumed they would have been. I went back to him in *************************************************************************************************** the first surgery, it was so unsightly even coworkers would ask me what happened. He said he needed one hour to fix it. He again took shortcuts in the surgery and ended up making it substantially worse because of sheer negligence.I went to a different doctor to evaluate my issues and he did surgery to correct it, as soon as it was medically acceptable, which was in Nov. 2021. This is when I learned the full extent of the condition ************ had left it in. The surgery took many hours, and my doctor had found the nose to be unsafe with part of my septum completely detached, and significant cartilage deficiencies in many places. There was also absolutely no trace of ******** (or any fascia) to disguise my thin skin; ******** is what ************ had said he used in my surgery, but in fact he had not. That had explained why I was able to tell so easily where the grafts were, without any effort. In addition, all those issues ************ hadn't addressed that I assumed weren't fixable, were in fact fixable as the doctor I saw proved when he corrected them.************ left my nose in complete disarray and in unsafe condition due to negligence, when he is supposedly an expert in the field. He mislead & deceived me about what he was going to do. I also caught him in several lies in the process. All are considered fraud. His conduct and the state in which he left my nose is unacceptable.
