Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Saved money for a thing I was so excited for to change my life but turned out it wasn't for the best or with the right person.. my nose ended up being uglier to me then b4 and if nit at least u was born wirh the 1 ugly one the 2nf one I paid over 7000 for when I paid for it to be better or what if at least like somewhat and I hat it I cry every night and when I look at myself..I also have breathing issues now I never had do to the thin oinchcj long collapsed tip Tara left me with she asked for pics of what I want all the way to the night b4 and I got nothing close to the pics my nose is super wide base on the left side is indented way more and the bridge is lumpy and uneven and I asked her to shave down between my eyes and instead she shaved in between my eyes defeated the purpose of what I wanted...my nose is way uglier to me and the worse part is I paid for it that haunts me... she told me she sees where it's messes up but she won't fix it I can go to the other drs who also seen it but then I'd need to pay all over again she said or learn how to contour..she also told me that the Dr could have put a book on my face!!!??? Wow!!! I have so much issue I hate my looks more I hide my nose alot on the side she caved in i try to turn from ppl,,,or sit on the other side but then it's so lumpy but if I look down my tip.looks longer so I jes isolate but that won't help the breathing issue and throbbing I feel through my nose making it feel bigger...very unhappy with her work

Raised the wrong brow. Right brow hanging over eyelid causing headaches remains as it was prior to surgery. Left brow raised and now points north. Eyebrows now more uneven than prior to surgery. Dr Brennan says she will be happy to try again at my expense.

Just had my first consultation with her and found her to be extremely informative. Very good to talk with her and her staff. I am going to get my nasal septum repaired and rhinopasty.

DR Brennan currently practices in Albuquerque New Mexico at UNM hospital. Doctor Brennan is the best ENT plastic surgeon in the business . I have had two failed Rhioplastys’ until I finally came across Doctor Brennan . I have broken my nose twice , major sinus issues , crooked nose , you name it , I was a tough case . Dr Brennan spent 7 hours in the operating room fixing my nose . I am for the first time in several years breathing from both sides of my nose . Dr Brennan is unbelievable .
