What recent reviews say

Most patients report exceptional outcomes and a supportive team, with Dr. Rival praised for respecting facial harmony and crafting natural results. However, a small number describe rushed, dismissive consultations and, in isolated cases, unaddressed complications and poor follow-up, with at least one patient reporting both breathing difficulties and aesthetic dissatisfaction years post-op.

Strengths centre on septorhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty work, where reviewers highlight combined functional and cosmetic gains. His practice operates with named staff (Mandy, Lynn, Lyne mentioned), thorough pre- and post-op guidance, and a calm clinic environment. Concerns surface around consultation pacing and responsiveness to revision requests.
