What recent patients say
4.7 / 5 · 101 Google reviewsI have nothing but the deepest appreciation and gratitude for the incredible work Dr. Kosins did performing my rhinoplasty two years ago. Before the procedure, I struggled with a severely deviated septum and a dorsal hump. Being in my 40s, I was quite apprehensive about undergoing plastic surgery. It took a lot of soul searching to finally make the decision to seek a surgeon for rhinoplasty. I spent a lot of time in deciding and choosing which surgeon to select. Dr. Kosins was highly recommended to me by two different plastic surgeon friends, and when I had my consultation with him, it became immediately clear why he is considered the best in his field. I truly appreciated the time he spent with me preoperatively to answer all of my questions and address my concerns. The postoperative recovery went smoothly, and I felt very supported by him and his team throughout the entire process. Immediately after the surgery as well as now (2 years later), I am absolutely thrilled with the functional and cosmetic results. My breathing has improved significantly, and I no longer suffer from the chronic sinusitis caused by poor nasal drainage. Beyond the functional improvements, I am delighted with the aesthetic outcome. Dr. Kosins is truly an artist; my nose looks wonderful and natural. It still looks like me, just with a more youthful and refined appearance. Although I was primarily concerned with functionality and didn't have a specific look initially in mind, he truly created a beautiful profile that fits my face perfectly. I am forever grateful and extremely pleased with my outcome! Thank you Dr. Kosins!!
Extremely talented physician/artist who takes the time to understand your desired outcome.
Dr. Kosins is incredibly caring and attentive. Starting from the consult, he was very understanding and responsive to what I wanted. I felt so comfortable on surgery day due to his reassurance. Dr. Kosins is extremely talented and knows exactly how to customize your nose to your face, making everything look balanced and well proportioned. Extremely happy with the results and couldn’t have asked for a better physician through this experience. The whole office is wonderful and made the process a breeze.
Words cannot describe how happy I am with my results! Dr. Kosins is the best - so so smart and down to earth. Would not trust anyone else but him.
