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.

Dr. Theodore Golden made me a beautiful nose ???? I am very satisfied with his job. I didn't like it from the beginning tho as it still was swollen. It took two years to heal properly. Dr. Golden has golden hands. He did my surgery in blind and under local anesthesia.... During surgery I received Reflexology (feet massage). I woke up a few times His behavior is arrogant sometimes but he is a master virtuoso. ?? I woke up several times to cough up blood that could drain down the nasopharynx into the lungs. But my lungs were protecting by my waking up. This is the advantage of local anesthesia, to wake up and cough up blood, and not let it get into the lungs, as is the case with general anesthesia, which has a detrimental effect on health. I woke up and opened my eyes, heard conversations, heard a drill in my nose, but I did not feel pain. I at least have no bad memories. I chose the doctor carefully and knew what I was going for. I knew how patients should feel under local anesthesia.

I had a Rhinoplasty with Dr. Theodore Golden in November 2017. He retired almost immediately after my surgery and I did not get a 6 month or 1 year post-op visit. Almost 3 years later and I am still devastated with my results. He said it would take 2 years for results to show. Well, now I am left with a wider, asymmetric bridge (which I never had to begin with), and I still have a choppy bump on my nose. I should've noticed all the red flags and when he showed me pictures of his work from YEARS before me, none were recent. I woke up while he was still operating and could hear him say "oh sh*t". I felt the pressure of him STILL OPERATING ON ME and stitching me up. I still have nightmares from this experience. Shortly after, I heard a few other women's similar complaints of his work on them. This was a horrible experience and I hope no one has to go through something like this. Thankfully, he retired and can never operate on someone else again.

Dr. Theodore shattered my nose bridge during my nose surgery. I was left with a crooked nose and a wide bridge. He said to never touch my nose again as it will collapse. Terrible experience. I woke up a few times during the surgery and heard Dr Theodore and the nurses talking negatively about me.

He took too much cartilage regardless of my having thick skin, removed my columella and ruined my beautiful smile and made my bridge crooked and wide. Now I'm looking for someone to help me with this mess. He even told me not to ever touch my nose again which made me even less trustful of other doctors. I've been living with this nightmare for years suffering both physically and emotionally.

Horrible, terrible, awful doctor. He lied to me and did things to my nose that was never agreed upon, cut out cartilage that I never asked to take out and left my tip projected. Woke up multiple times during surgery, I was terrified and he told me to shut up. I have to find a new doctor to fix my issues now.

Sincere thanks to Plastic Surgeon Doctor Theodore Golden, practicing in Troy MI. He performed a facelift on me 17 days ago, end of March 2017, and he did a beautiful job. I look amazing, and I feel so grateful I was able to get a beautiful result from his expertise and knowledge…I heard him mentoring another doctor on his staff, and I was so impressed with how he was teaching her, he obviously had so much to impart. We women go in for these procedures and we have no idea the complexity and sk

He promises you if your not happy he will fix what you don't like..... a revision. It's a total lie. I went in for a Rhinoplasty Specifically to have my round tip nose more defined or narrow. That was not achieved. I went back to show him and instead of listening he kept repeating how great it looked and how the tip was raised which was however that was not the main goal here. After talking over me he got upset and left the room returning to say he would not touch my nose and that was final.

Dr Golden fixed some difficulties I was having with blowing my nose during a cold/built up scar tissue, but cosmetically, he gave me a nose that looks far worse than what I had before. It really just needed to be straightened a bit after being broken as a kid, but he made it more obviously crooked, widened the bridge (which I didn't want), and gave me an obvious, pronounced, and uneven tip. I get so sad when I see how much more attractive my overall facial harmony was before. Dismissive too.

I seriously regret choosing Dr. Golden as my nose surgeon. I now have trouble breathing (I didn't before the surgery) and my nose is asymmetric. Dr. Golden didn't see the problem when I attended his office for a follow-up. In fact, he was very dismissive. It was only when I sent him photos that he sort of acknowledged the problem. He wouldn't do anything to fix it though. Beware!
