Rollin Daniel, MD, FACS

I had my rhinoplasty less than 3 weeks ago and let me tell you I am SO happy with my results. My experience with Dr. Daniel and his staff has been nothing but AMAZING. I was referred to Dr. Daniel by Dr. Simon Ourain in Beverly hills. Dr. Ourain told me if I wanted to get my nose done the best rhinoplasty I should go to is Dr. Daniel. So I made an appointment right away and went to my first consultation with Dr. Daniel. I am very pleased how Dr. Daniel spend a lot of time trying to understand what I am not happy with my nose and how he would fix my problems. I really appreciate that he actually cared. Some doctors have really bad personalities and make you feel uncomfortable but Dr. Daniel is the sweetest and has the best personality ever, he makes me feel very comfortable. I was so pleased by the Dr. Daniel and the staff I scheduled my surgery right away. At the pre-​op, he again went over the details of my condition, explained the surgery and took measurements and photos. I felt so comfortable and I knew I was in good hands with him. The fact that he spent so much time with me, made me see how much he cares about his patients. The day of my surgery, I went to the surgical center and about 20 minutes before my surgery, Dr. Daniel came over and marked my nose and again discussed the procedure with me. This was my first surgery ever and I wasn’t even nervous because I was so impressed and excited I knew I was in good hands. The day after my surgery Dr. Daniel called me to see how I am doing and to let me know what to expect the next few days. My post-​op went very well. Judy took me back right away and removed the tape and stitches. Judy was so amazing, Dr. Daniel came and checked out my nose. He looked as pleased with my nose as I did. The staff at the office are all amazing. Every time I called the office to ask questions, Dani always helps me with all my questions right away. I love walking in to the office everyone there are so friendly. Right now I have a lot of swelling and healing to do but I am very happy with the results. Also, my mother and husband are so amazed how my nose looks thanks to Dr. Daniels work.
Thank you Dr. Daniel, Dani, Judy, and Risa

I had my rhinoplasty less than 2 weeks ago. My experience with Dr. Daniel and his staff has been nothing but exceptional. I had 2 other consultations before seeing Dr. Daniel.
I was referred to Dr. Daniel by another plastic surgeon because my surgery was complicated. When I called to schedule my consultation, I was pleased with how warm and welcoming the staff was. I had a broken nose.
During my consultation, Dr. Daniel spent a lot of time trying to understand the injury that caused my condition. I appreciate that he actually cared. He took the time to show me what he perceived as the problem and ensured I understood my procedure. He explained to me the concept of the dominate side of my face as well as the fact that my face is asymmetric and how that would effect the results.
I scheduled my surgery and went in for my pre-​op. At the pre-​op, he again went over the details of my condition, explained the surgery and took measurements and photos. I felt so comfortable and I knew I was in good hands with him. I think the fact that he spent so much time with me, made me see how much he cares about his patients.
The day of my surgery, I went to the surgical center and about 20 minutes before my surgery, Dr. Daniel came over and marked my nose and again discussed the procedure with me. I did notice my file and the extent of the notes and drawings that showed me how much time he had spent working. I was so impressed and thrilled because I knew I was in good hands.
The day after my surgery Dr. Daniel called me twice to make sure I was okay and to let me know what to expect the next few days.
Everything I stated above is in my opinion above and beyond what I expected. However, I was extremely impressed with the fact that Judy called me every single day until my post-​op appointment to check on me and give me my daily instructions and assurances. She is remarkable and I’m so grateful to have been under her care.
My post-​op was just as smooth as everything else. I arrived a little early, no problem, Judy took me back right away and we removed the tape, some stitches and the obnoxious tubes. The tube removal was painful. However, I didn’t even feel the stitches being removed. Judy was so amazing. Dr. Daniel removed the tubes and checked out my nose. He looked as pleased with my nose as I did.
Every time I called the office to ask questions, either Judy or Dani would help me right away. They are absolutely wonderful!
I have a lot of swelling and healing to do, but I am very happy with the results. My mother keeps saying how amazed she is and that Dr. Daniel’s work is exceptional. I agree.
Thank you Dr. Daniel, Judy, Dani.

I had a Rhinoplasty done in 2014 and I had looked for a doctor that I felt did quality work and I was actually referred to Dr. Daniels by someone. I loved the book he has with all his previous work and finally decided to take the leap. I did it and As soon as the cast came off I noticed that my nostrils were completely different from one another. I mean two completely different shapes and sizes. I told him about it and he then gave me attitude and said I am being picky. He told me to wait until the swelling has gone down and then it will be less noticeable. I was like you mean it’s not uneven swelling? This is permanent? He got mad and stormed out, mind you I never speak out of turn, I am very respectful and I started to tear up and he even told me «Oh you’re one of those?» I almost never cry, but now it has been about a year and a half and my nose is completely healed and looks terrible. I hate looking in mirrors, and people always stare. When someone wants to take a picture with me I always say no, it looks awful, and I would not trust him at all to do the revision. I will be looking at revision specialists and applying for the show botched to hopefully get my story out there. Please do not go here, I beg you. You will feel worse about yourself afterwards with a lot of debt!
P.S The other reviewers are right, this picture is so outdated, he looks nothing like this.

WHAT CAN YOU DO? I’ve read all the posts and it sounds like this doctor has ruined a lot of noses and given even more condescending comments. Unfortunately, I experienced the same and am left with a severely cricked nose and a hole in my savings. I URGE YOU ALL to send your comments to the Medical Board of California. It’s very easy, you can do it online if you wish:
Please think of all the people that will avoid future suffering at his hands. It’s the right thing to do and there is NO harm or punishment. It’s all kept confidential. You can even copy and paste your Unilocal post to their site. The medical board will never release your information.
To all of you that have experienced a botched nose job at his hands only to be ridiculed afterwards by him, I feel your pain and hope you find someone worth trusting. It’s been 3 years for me and I still have a hard time looking in mirrors. Sending good energy to you all.

I had rhinoplasty with Dr. Daniel back in 2008. I was much younger and naïve then. Unilocal wasn’t that popular… not even sure it existed at the time. Anyway, the first 6 – 8 months post surgery my nose was beautiful. At the one year post-​op I told him I had concerns that one side of my nose looked like it was «caving-​in» a little, and that I was getting frequent nose bleeds out of the left nostril. I asked him if we could fix those those things, and he answered «sure if you want to risk your nose collapsing.» I was like, oh-​ok well that’s scary. Then I said, we’ll what about the nose bleeds? He told me to stop picking my nose! Seriously?! I didn’t have the money or strength to go through another surgery, and to be honest it is noticeable but wasn’t THAT bad. Today, my nose is definitely crooked and one side is still a bit more ‘indented’ or collapsed than the other. My nose is REALLY crooked when I smile. Just an honest review so people can make an informed decision. It’s an expensive surgery and people should have the facts before they make a huge decision like this. Everyone’s nose heals differently and it’s never a guarantee that your body will heal perfectly. I don’t know if my body didn’t heal well, or if it was something he did wrong. Therefore, the attitude + crooked nose = 2 stars. If I could give 2.5 stars to he fair, I would.

If I could give Dr. Daniel 10 stars, I would without hesitation. I believe with all my heart that he is the BEST RHINOPLASTY SPECIALIST in all of the US (if not the world)!! There were times where I would read other reviews on Unilocal and get worried about how my results would come out but after seeing what Dr. Daniels has done to not only my nose but the overall balance between my nose and my face is just everything I would’ve ever hoped for. Dr Daniels was amazing and his entire staff was also just the most kindest people ever.
And in regards to anyone who was offended by the truth that Dr. Daniels said really shouldn’t be. I mean, you ARE trying to get your nose done so the reason you’re going to see dr’s are to fix something with your nose right? And would you rather have a doctor who is upfront and honest with you or a dr who sugar coats things JUST so that he can get paid and not the results not measure up to all the talk that he just sugar coated to not bruise your ego.
The amount of money I spent on this transformation was worth EVERY PENNY.
I love you guys so much! Thank you for making my life long wishes and dreams into reality. And THANK YOU GOD for bringing Dr. Daniels into my life.

Dr. Daniel performed a rhinoplasty and nasal cartilage reconstruction when my nostrils would completely collapse upon inspiration. Currently, I am about 5 months out of my surgery. I am able to breathe with ease as my nostrils hold strong when I breathe and are also aesthetically pleasing with a delicate, artistic touch to their remodel. My nose overall is beautiful, I look like a completely different person.
As a fellow physician, I sought the advice of my peers when choosing the surgeon for my operation and Dr. Daniel was recommended based on his expertise and excellence in this field. He has authored numerous textbooks and is not only able to create a beautifully designed nose from the outside, but he also has the knowledge and experience to fix the complex internal aspects of the nose for easier breathing. I was also looking for a doctor who would be able to handle my Persian nose and give me a beautiful nose that is the perfect size for my face. Of course, with half his patients being Persian, he is extremely well versed in the Persian nose.
I strongly disagree with other Unilocal reviews and was pleased with his bedside manner. At the consultation he was honest and straightforward with the analysis of my nose, which I found helpful and helped me to trust him. Furthermore, he effectively communicated his surgical plan for my rhinoplasty and nasal reconstruction and I was able to understand what I should expect for the surgery and post-​surgery.
Lastly, his staff are incredible and kind people. They are very knowledgable about the pre and post-​surgical procedures and guided me at length about how to care for my nose. I know that if I have any questions I can speak with them or Dr. Daniel at any time.

My gf went to see him, against my advice. He told her that her nose was the worst botch he has seen, and he would do the work, but it would be 16k plus anest. Ok, so he quoted me the same price for a tip lift. Hers needs a rib and ear, but it’s the same price as mine? He’s not an honest man. Also, the photo of him was taken 30 years ago, when he could still smile. I see that he used to be the best nose man in Orange County, but now he only likes to work on teens and easy cases. I wouldn’t risk it, no way.

I had my first rhinoplasty done by Dr Daniel done in 2008. My nose was completely straight and my only goal with the rhinoplasty was to fix the tip (which got lack of a better term, looked like a «pig nose» to me at the time). When I went in for my initial consultation, Dr Daniel informed me that I had a small chin as well and that he would recommend a chin implant, which he would do at no extra cost. I had no qualms with my chin but I figured his opinion was valid if he was agreeing to do it at no extra cost.
Long story short, my initial rhinoplasty was a nightmare. My nose was crooked, the tip sloped up and had a point on one end of the tip. The function alone was comprised as well– the cartilage/​bone on the inside has what feels like a break halfway up and one side constantly feels like it collapses so I can’t breath. The chin implant is a nightmare as well. I never had a saggy chin prior to surgery and now the skin under my chin near the incision hangs. It also feels like the implant is sitting on top of a nerve because if I touch one area of my chin, sharp pain shoots up my jaw (I can’t put my chin in my hands at all).
At the one year appointment, I went back and begged him to fix it, thinking there would be no question based on how extreme and obviously visible the issues were. Much like some of the other reviews, he got angry, told me that this was not his fault and that it must be scar tissue and he stormed out on me mid-​sentence while I was in tears.
I returned a year later, hoping to give it one more shot at convincing him to fix the issues. At that point, he finally acknowledged all the issues (though he took zero responsibility for them) and agreed to fix the tip issues and revise the scar. While I will say there is an aesthetic improvement, my nose is still rock hard to the touch, crooked, and the functional issues remain. All of the chin issues still remain as well. After spending $ 11,000 on my initial rhinoplasty and $ 3,000 on the second to fix the issues (Dr Daniel made me pay for the surgery center and anesthesiologist fees), I am now going through the consultation process again to fix what Dr Daniel created.
It’s not only that Dr Daniel botched my nose, he was heartless in the process. The way he will treat his patients is both shocking and appalling. He seems to operate off ego and if you raise an issue, he will walk out on you mid-​sentence. I am a courteous patient and I talked to Dr Daniel respectfully. Sadly I could not get the same treatment from him.
PLEASE AVOID DR DANIEL AT ALL COSTS!!!

I just had a Septoplastry less than 2 months ago. I had deviated septum and my nose looked crooked from outside. Although the results can’t be evaluated until about 1 year after the surgery, I am very pleased and happy with my choice of surgeon .
At first I went to a different doctor at Newport Beach, who has very good reviews; Dr. Elliott .
He was very nice and honest and told me that he could do it but he knows someone who could do a better job due to having a great amount of experience. He referred me to Dr. Daniel .
After visiting Dr. Daniel and having my consultation, I didn’t have to go see other doctors. I could tell he knows what he is doing, so I set my surgery date right away .He is confident and not arrogant as some other people have described him unfairly. Not to mention, I appreciate a doctor who is arrogant and knows what he is doing than some kiss ass ones who just want to make money .
In addition, not so many people has symmetrical face. He told me that my face is not symmetrical and I was not offended at all. To those women who blame him for stating the truth and felt offended or ugly, NOBODY has a symmetrical face, so just get it and stop being so freaking insecure and bitchy .
Lastly, he is extremely funny with a dry sense of humor .
He is THE most experienced doctor when it comes to Rhinoplasty and Septoplastry in California. You can research that .
He has a great and friendly staff. JUDY is my favorite. She is extremely caring, sweet, and helpful if you have any questions or concerns; So don’t hesitate; go and see him.

No surprise that he has so many good reviews– they basically bribe patients to write good reviews online. When you finish your online reviews they send you a gift certificate for nordstrom. I’m not exaggerating– they even give you a list of sites to post on! I find it highly unethical, and although I would have loved a gift card, it’s not worth compromising your integrity. I had a bad experience with this quack, and I’d like to help others avoid what I’m going through! He is extremely rude and doesn’t stand by his work. A big red flag should have been that during my consultation (he had other docs in from out of the country) he said my case was easy to fix. The next appt, he told me not to get my hopes up. Oh, and told me how asymmetrical my face is too, don’t feel bad-…looking at the bad reviews, I think he says this a lot! Then, as I’m in the pre-​op area, he told me he didn’t think he could do much to help me aesthetically but he’d give it a try. I just had a bit of cartilage I needed removed, but now my nose is collapsing and looks/​functions terribly!!! My nostrils are two different shapes/​sizes, and one side pulls in every time I inhale. I haven’t gone back to see him, b/​c he was so incredibly rude, and from what I’ve heard, he’ll probably deny it looks bad, and storm out of the room mid-​sentence, but most of all b/​c even if he did agree to fix his mistakes, I don’t trust him to do a good job!!! So until I’m able to afford revision (which I didn’t even need before I saw Dr. Daniel!) I avoid getting my pic taken, and try not to look in the mirror. Oh and don’t be surprised if he walks out in the middle of your conversation. He is not a nice person, and maybe he used to be a talented surgeon, but unfortunately he no longer has the skills. His heart is obviously not in it. I hope he retires soon so he can stop messing up people’s noses– and making them feel lousy abt their faces!!!

I will keep this short and sweet. It has been a week since my septorhinoplasty and already I see such a beautiful difference in my nose. Dr. Daniel is an amazing surgeon who is truly gifted with his hands. Everyone in his office is so sweet, patient and accommodating, specially Judy. She will help you with every question you have even if you call 5 times a day. The most important advice I can give Unilocal readers is, you may see a lot of negative comments in regards to Dr. Daniel’s, but please don’t let that discourage you from considering him as your doctor. Maybe his personality isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but he is very professional and most importantly, he is a master in his field.

Dr. Daniel is an incredible surgeon and his staff are very attentive and friendly. I am 17 and had a very prominent, beak-​like middle eastern nose and somewhat of an overbite. Dr. Daniel gave me an extremely symmetrical and natural nose and more defined chin that I love! During consultation he was very honest and modest with his work and walked me through the surgery making me feel very comfortable with the procedure. All pre-​op appointments ran smoothly, as well as the surgery. The pain was manageable and his staff made plenty of courteous personal phone calls to check in on my healing process. I healed in about 2 weeks and now most of the swelling has gone down a few months later. I truly could not be happier and more confident with how I look. Thank you Dr. Daniel!

Not only is he an expert and a hero, he is an artist. My nose honestly looks like art.
My first surgery was fatal. My nose was not stable, left nostril was blocked, my bridge was unnaturally flat, and the tip was disconnected from the bridge making it seem like there was a very pronounced dent. Dr. Daniel and Dr. Kosins reconstructed my nose with cartilage from my ribs and scalp.
I have to say that I went through a state of paranoia during the few first post-​op weeks. In the beginning, my nose seemed like it had extra cartilage on the bridge, but even then, people had been complimenting me and saying, sometimes not directly to me, that my nose looked very nice, feminine, artistic, but most of all, NATURAL. During my second post-​op revision, he advised me to vigorously push hard on the bridge of my nose so that I could have a straighter nose. Although I was skeptical about this technique, Dr. Daniel’s advice totally worked.
I bled a LOT (way more than a usual rhinoplasty) during the surgery because my blood is very thin. However, this did not even prevent Dr. Daniel from doing a good job. My current nose shows that he is truly an expert and knows how to deal with very serious complications.
It has been two months since Dr. Daniel performed a reconstructive surgery on my nose, and I cannot be more happy with the results.
Also, his staff is honestly sooooo wonderful! They are very gentle because they really do understand how you feel and what you’re going through. Judy, a member of his staff, always calls me Peruvian princess (I was born in Peru), and it’s just so nice!

After months of looking for the right doctor to perform my revision rhinoplasty i stumbled upon Dr. Daniel through another Unilocaler. And i am SO incredibly thankful for that!!! I was looking desperately for a doctor that impressed me enough to set up a surgery date. And i gotta say after about 7 consultations with what seemed like great picks, i finally met with Dr. Rollins, and i knew he was the one for me. From the day of consultation till the removing of my cast post. Op, the staff at Dr. Rollin’s office have been incredibly accommodating and supportive with me. I still can’t believe how much I love my nose! I took Dr. Rollins a picture of the nose i liked and i am still in disbelief that it looks just like that! I never wanted a perfect nose, but i wanted one i would be happy with. And i am so happy with my results. I can’t speak for all his patients but i am 100% satisfied with my whole experience. Amy, Judy and Danny at the office deserve so much credit as well. They clearly love their job, and for me it meant alot to have such support. Be clear and specific with what you want with the doctor and he won’t disappoint. He isn’t pushy and doesn’t recommend what you don’t need. He’s pretty amazing!

I had a consultation with the Dr about a month ago. I left balling my eyes out. The website is so deceiving, the doc does not look his pic! He has aged like 35 years!!! He had a hard time walking into the office! He told me my face is not symmetrical and tired to make me feel so hideous! I admired him for his before and afters before meeting him. He’s so old who knows if he can perform a surgery anymore without messing it up. I cried the whole way home. Poor old man needs to retire now and remove that pic of himself online. False advertisement!!! Don’t waste your time. And yes, they do bribe you to write good reviews with gift cards! So dishonest, and stop defending this doctor!

Told me I had the smallest nose that had ever come through the office and then proceeded to say «you’re nose isn’t the problem, it’s your severely assymetrical features!» I said Ok but I’m not looking to correct my assymetry (making me feel like i had one eye on my head and one on my cheek) I’m looking for a straighter & more refined nose. He didn’t seem competent enough to be able to work with my «flaws» so he started to walk out saying «you’ll have to speak to my associate Dr. Kosins» I said about what? He didn’t answer me but added (as he’s walking out on me) «yeah… I like your left profile… I don’t like your right at all.» WOW! Ok thanks for that! Didn’t ask you but ok. So RUDE and incompetent I can’t even begin to tell you. Ended up going to see Dr. Sadati for a consult after that feeling a little traumatized from what I’d just been told. Dr. Sadati was very confident in his «refining» skills and didn’t mention how f’d up the rest of my face was. Pleasant and competent. Just how I like em. Be warned. I think he’s ready for retirement so he’ll probably just try to pawn you off on Dr. Kosins. After he insults you of course. lol nice doc nice.

I swore I wrote a review years ago for Dr. Daniel but I guess it never properly submitted!
Long story short I had a horrendous procedure performed in the summer of 2010 and had to wait one year before I could have the proper reconstructive surgery done. I waited and went to so many different revisionists but didn’t feel comfortable with anyone but Dr. Daniel. His confidence, his experience in the field, and his staff made me feel completely at ease.
The surgery was a complete success and I owe so much to Dr. Daniel. I couldn’t be happier and I highly recommend him.

Dr. Daniel did a FANTASTIC job on my nose.
It looks natural, beautiful, and delicate.
When I look at old pictures of me I cannot believe how much better I look.
I went from pretty to beautiful, THANK YOU DR.DANIEL.

I wish I could put no stars on this review. I have spent the past 4 years and 2 more surgeries trying to fix his mess. My nose was straight to begin with and after the surgery it was extremely crocked and had an obnoxious tip. When I went back to him, he said it looked fine and actually got so irritated with me bringing up the fact it was crocked, he got mad, turned red and walked out. The last doctor said he basically tied my nose cartilage in a knot. AVOID THIS DOCTOR with all cost!!!
