Anyone have experience with Dr. Bryan Rolfes?

I saw some of his work reviewed on RealSelf and went to his site http://www.nessplasticsurgery.com/our-team/ and it looks like he does great work.   I live in WA. State where there appear to be no good FFS surgeons so I am looking to line up 3-4 of them this Spring to have consults with in hopes of getting my procedure done around Sept.

I am having my second consult with Dr Rolfes next week to finalize things. The link you posted is for Dr Ness - who is more of a generalist. Ness and Rolfes have a bit of a partnership and work under the same roof.

Rolfes has his own site on: http://www.omnifps.com/.   He lacks before & afters on his site, but you can find some stuff on "RealSelf" .  Here there are 15 reviews, some with before/afters, and all give him 5 stars. https://www.realself.com/find/Minnesota/Minneapolis/Otolaryngologist/Bryan-Rolfes

Dr Rolfes is engaging, personal, and has a great CV.  He trained under Spiegel for a while. I wish I could see more before/afters.  But I'm willing to take a leap of faith.  He has been added to my insurance network, and I have been approved for a full suite of FFS procedures - all covered. This made my decision easier. I'm scheduled for 2 days of surgeries,with hospital recovery after each day. Surgeries are scheduled for May 14th and 15th, and I go home on the 15th.  A BA is in the mix of all the FFS stuff as well. I don't get on this site often, and so lack the ability to post pics.  I may post them to RealSelf - TBD.

Thank you for your reply and I wish you great outcomes!

I had surgeries with Dr Rolfes on 5/14, 5/15, 5/21.  Probably close to 20 hours total?  Full suite of FFS procedures, plus BA, plus vocal folds.

Initial swelling was horrendous.  Now it is so much better.  I can't speak for another week-ish.

Based on what I can see, and this is very early, the results look great.

From what I can see from his website the doctor is super handsome. He is beautiful. I hope he also does a great job. Will you post before/ after pics?

was he nice after surgery was he easy to contact if you needed any help or questions? were you able to contact him directly after surgery or you had to go through office? How were the facilities?

I hope everything went well with your recovery and I can't wait to see the results *if* you post them!    I consulted with Dr. Rolfes and am now waiting for Pre-authorization from my insurance before I schedule my surgery.
