I am an Orange County Transplant now living in South Corona. I lived in Riverside in the late 80's while I attended college at UCRiverside. Where are you in Riverside?

I live off of the 91 @ Van Buren. My surgery is scheduled for July 9th! Its nice to find someone local. I had a consult with Dr. Naim, but my insurance wouldn't cover surgery with his facility.

Where are you having your surgery? Wow, the 9th is soooooo close. I am having my pre-op on the 10th and surgery on the 11th.

I originally went to Dr. Naim/Dr. Omidi's office in Beverly Hills for a Lap Band seminar and while fighting with my insurance company with two appeals I had a MAJOR nose reconstruction done with Dr. Omidi. As you can see by my photo, it was quite a large nose...now it is small and in proportion with my face...lol! They are very kind there and I am sorry you could not join me. I am sure you found a great surgeon as there are so many here in Southern California, it is very hard to choose.

I was originally sent to see Dr. Reavis, but he was not covered by my insurance, so they gave me Dr. Nyguen (strange, considering they are in the same office) I had my surgery on June 9.... I live in Riverside as well in the La Sierra area. Hope all is going well for you!!
