Plastic surgeon Dr. Richard Davis in FL anyone?

Going for revision soon and have been starting to interview doctors. Dr. Richard Davis came up on another forum which I was able to gather some feedback from, but I am scheduled for a consult with him in early Feb. and looking for as much background and feedback as I can get.

I did a search here for Davis and no results were found. Anyone here have experience either first or second hand with him?

Many thanks in advance.

BTW, I am in FL and need a doc from there.

I do NOT know about Davis, but I do know of several excellent plastic surgeons in FL.

PM me.

I have never heard about a Dr Richard Davis in Florida either. I just checked and it looks like he is an otolaryngologist in Miramar, FL. Is that the plastic surgeon you are talking about? I can find plenty of mentions of his name but no official site for him

Hey la_angel, yep, that's him. He does not have a website which puzzles me as well. Apparently he gets his business off word of mouth. Evidently according to other forums I have been on he is in demand for revision work. I have gotten mixed reviews thus far.

Gonna bump this as my consult with him is tomorrow. Seems strange that his name can be all over one board and not anywhere on another.

Anyone at all?

gonna bump this. I have met with him and have formulated my opinion of his professionalism, but I am still seeking former patient reviews. Thanks

BTW he now has his site up and running here is the link
Richard E. Davis, MD Plastic Surgeon - Primary & Revision Rhinoplasty Specialist

Hey la_angel, I don't know what to say to that. That's kinda what I am doing, by asking for past patient feedback. Other than this and checking the state board for license and malpractices, I really don't know how else to check credentials.

I definitely want to do this with a qualified surgeon and will travel if absolutely necessary, however I would love to stay in the state.

You saw his site, and it is more detailed than most sites I have visited. Admittedly, I have not been looking all that long. Maybe a few months now. I came across the usual suspects, such as Dr. T, Dr. N, and a few others, but to tell you the truth that's only about ten out of all the thousands out there practicing. So I'm not too surprised that you may not have heard of him. The site where I got his name from is "make me heal" dot com.

I think one of the problems with these forums is that you never really know the source of info. that you are getting, and much of it is contradictory. For all I know, people here are affiliated with a certain doctor or people on the other site are. I am just trying to gather as much info. from as many sources as possible before making a decision. I have spoken on the phone with someone I can only assume is a past patient as well as viewed pictures that people have sent me of their results.

However, I want to go with someone that has a great track record even if that does mean flying or paying a little extra. I want it done right. I'm sure if I spent enough time on this site I would come up with who is the surgeon of choice around here, but if you all can clue me in it would be greatly appreciated.

Just looking for the most qualified doc.

Thanks again!
