Testimonials

I was able to observe and assist Dr Cerkes in surgeries. His work predominantly includes a broad spectrum of rhinoplasty surgeries ranging from simple to complex including deviated septum, tip correction, dorsal hump, hanging columella, septal perforation, cleft lip nasal deformity, other congenital deformities, alar reduction, use of costo-chondral grafts, etc.
He is a very good teacher and explained each step in detail during the surgery along with the use of various instruments designed by him. I could also learn other surgeries like facelift, fat grafting on face, chin implant, etc.
