Send the photos over. ... and so on.
I mean, what is with that opening line? That kind of tone immediately puts me off... is he always like this, or...?

Yeah, he just has to make sure you know how much in demand he is right away.🙄 He told me to give him a call on Friday to set up an appointment. When I actually called him—and mind you, I was calling from the Netherlands because I was on vacation—he just goes, "Eh, I don't know... better just call me on Monday." That's when I started getting a little annoyed, but I kept it together. So, I call him on Monday, and he tells me, "I'm a bit busy, I'll get back to you." After waiting around all day, I finally called him again this morning and just asked, "Is there a problem with me?" and he just starts laughing and making excuses, then tells me he'll operate on me this Thursday or Friday... wtf? I guess he'll probably let me know about two hours before the surgery begins.😠
But, I suppose I should just calm down, try to be patient🙂 and wait, because at the end of the day, I just want to fix this nose, no matter what.🤣

It’s really important to me that my doctor inspires confidence, though I’m not exactly a fan of anyone who brags too much...

The consultation lasted about an hour and a half—give or take—and yes, he suggested what should be done while also asking me what my own preferences were. He showed me quite a few scans from his other patients, and honestly, he definitely inspires trust. As for the bragging part... well, I suppose he did go a little overboard; he spent nearly half an hour talking about himself and his own achievements 🙄 but I guess you could look at it positively—the man clearly has things to be proud of. What I appreciated most was how he gave concrete answers to my questions using layman's terms; he even drew out my various options on a whiteboard. His approach to patients is fairly laid-back... maybe a bit too much, perhaps... but all in all, every doctor has their quirks, right? I think his expertise ultimately outweighs everything else, so we can probably just overlook his little "God complex."🤣

Well folks, after spending two full days scouring forums, digging through websites, and scrolling through endless photos—it’s settled. I’ve decided to go with Dr. Glusac. I went in for a consultation, and while he does tend to talk about himself a little more than necessary—perhaps a tad too much, if I'm being honest—I think he's actually the right choice... he just has this way of instilling confidence, and he seems quite grounded. To be blunt, I have an oooooogrooooooman aquiline nose, and I am beyond ready to finally deal with it. I'm calling him tomorrow to sort out a date, so I'll let you all know how the scheduling goes...😁
