Eric J Dobratz

I went to Dr. Dobratz seeking a revision rhinoplasty. In the past, I had 3 previous rhinoplasty's from a different surgeon, however my breathing was still greatly hindered and my nose was not cosmetically appealing to my liking. Dr. Dobratz listened to my concerns, answered all of my questions, and even provided me with additional options that would enhance not only my breathing, but the concerns I had with my physical appearance as well. Dr. Dobratz assured me that he would address all of my concerns and he did. The results were even better than I expected and I can finally breathe out of both sides of my nose again, plus I love how it looks! I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Dobratz for your plastic surgery needs as he truly cares about his clients, gives you all of the options, and makes the overall process a truly seamless experience.

Dr. Eric Dobratz is the best and smartest surgeon I’ve ever spoken to in my life. This man knows everything there is to know about the nose, he literally saved my nose and my life. I had a severely botched nose, with three perforated septum’s, and lots of more from previous surgeries. He not only fixed them but fixed everything from the functionality to the looks of my nose. You have to be very skilled to do what he does, there is not that many reconstruction surgeons throughout the states. I finally recognize myself in the mirror again. I’m in one of the biggest rhinoplasty groups in the world and have already sent someone else over to him for a revision as well, and he saved them too. Please do yourself a favor and go to him if your reading this because you can’t trust surgeons now days. I can never repay him enough. He is seriously the best, and now I can finally live pain free and happy with my results. He’s a miracle worker. Dr. Eric Dobratz is the best and smartest surgeon I’ve ever spoken to in my life.

Great Surgeon, however his office staff is worthless. DON'T BOTHER CALL!!!!! Just left on hold for eternity. Seriously Worthless.

Dr Dobratz exceeded my expectations in a mole removal surgery on my face. He was thorough, professional and did such an amazing job that the scaring was very minimal where past skin surgeries have left much larger scars. I would highly recommend Dr Dobratz!

I am a recovering addict who destroyed my nose cartilage during my addiction and my nose was so sensitive to the touch and it was difficult to breathe, not to mention an everlasting reminder of the terrible choices I had made in my past. I was referred to Dr. Dobratz as the hole in my septum was extremely large. Dr. Dobratz was kind, caring and extremely smart. He formulated a plan of action and we started with the process of reconstructing and rebuilding my nose. It took multiple surgeries and stages to correct it and I am so grateful that I was (1) clean and in recovery in order to address the issue (2) paired with Dr. Dobratz as I couldn't have asked for a more intelligent and thorough surgeon. He truly is amazing with the work he does and I will forever be grateful for him restoring my nose as close to my original as possible. It has corrected my breathing issues and helped restore self-esteem. Dr. Dobratz and staff-thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so great and I am forever grateful <3.

Dr Dobratz performed a rhino-septoplasty on both my husband and I. His work is amazing! We both could not be happier with our results. He’s very kind and humble in nature. We felt listened to throughout the entire process. Would highly recommend!

Truly commendable doctor! I have been so completely impressed with him since meeting him over a year ago! He took time out of his busy schedule to personally call me today (my 1-yr anniversary after a saddlenose/nasal reconstruction procedure) to check on things and see how I've been! We still have more work to do and I'm excited to see him work his magic in helping me continue finding my confidence that my saddlenose has tried taking from me! I give him 10 stars!! ????

I have had the honor to work with Dr. Dobratz and have seen the amazing work he has done for his patients who were having reconstructive as well as cosmetic surgery. Dr. Dobratz does beautiful work, but is also very honest and compassionate.

Doctor Dobratz is an amazing and skilled surgeon that I was blessed to have done my medical procedure. He is thorough, precise, and cares about his work and patients. I’m glad he was recommended to me and would most definitely like to pay that forward by recommending him to anyone that is thinking or needing work done. Thank you Dr. I appreciate all that you have done. God bless Doctor Dobratz is an amazing and skilled surgeon that I was blessed to have done my medical procedure.

Dr. Dobratz operated on my nose where the left nostrol had collapsed and a deveated septum. I was afraid at first. The procedure went very well and I can breath much better now. Dr Dobratz is excellent and I would highly recommend him. Respectfully Submitted Dr. Jesse Zedd

I reluctantly decided on a 2nd surgery to fix my nose. I had major breathing issues that disrupted everything in my life and after a failed 1st attempt with another top surgeon, I was left a bit odd looking. I did so much research and ended up in Dr. Dobratz office. I was nervous because this is my face and I was scared to look abnormal and equally scared that another surgery wouldn’t fix my breathing problems. Dr. Dobratz was very matter a fact and didn’t add any fluff to what was possible for me. I was still nervous so I made a 2nd visit just to have him give me the run down again, which was kind considering he is an extremely in demand surgeon - clear from just visiting the office and seeing the line of people! On the day of surgery he was there before hand to just check in and again let me know what the plan was. PostIp: I woke up and was SHOCKED to find that I could breathe through my nose! Immediately! 3 months later and my nose looks as good as it works! Very pleased!!!!

Very Professional, and he is excellent at his job

I have had breathing issues for as long as I can remember. I was hardly able to get any air through my nose. I also have never liked the way my nose appeared. I had a strong nasal bump. My nose also was slight crooked and drooped downward. I could not have asked for a better result. Dr. Dobratz worked on my septum and also performed a rhinoplasty. I could not be more pleased with my results. I can breathe perfectly and I finally love the appearance of my nose. I am beyond satisfied with my results. I highly recommend Dr. Dobratz. I have wanted a rhinoplasty for quite some time but was too nervous to go through with the procedure. After my consultation with Dr. Dobratz I felt much better about the procedure. For those of you who feel the same, I highly recommend going through the procedure with him!

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Dobratz and I would highly recommend.

Awesome office staff. Dr. Dobratz did an amazing job creating a “new ear” for me after my cancer was removed. Thank you for taking good care of me.

My wife has had many surgery’s on her face from a Brain tumor, that she still has one of two. Our Doctor in Pittsburgh, Pa remended Dr. Dobratz in Norfolk, Va , when we moved to retirement. The Doctor is the best, knows what he is doing and listens to the patient. The Doctor is worth the wait, his work is the best, takes his time and makes sure you are at a Hopital or outpatient hospital that is good for you. We are treated with the up most respect and kindness. We recommend him to anyone that needs help.

Eric Dobratz, MD, is an excellent surgeon. He took time to explain the process, show me photos and answer all my concerns. Dr. Dobratz exceeded my expectations and you would never know I had surgery on my nose. I would recommend this practice. It was well-worth the 1.5 hour drive from North Carolina.

Eric Dobratz is one of the finest Doctors I have had. I was referred by my transplant team for deviated syptem repair. Situation was complicated by the number of medications I take. He performed the surgery a few months ago and I’m very pleased with the result. I really like This guy personally as well. That is important to me and my family. He has been,and is, professional and very capable. I highly recommend him. Truly a first class guy. Eric Dobratz is one of the finest Doctors I have had.

I was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma on the tip of my nose in 2015. I was referred to Dr. Eric Dobratz for plastic surgery on my nose after the removal of the tissue. He was able to repair my nose in his office and I was sent home after the procedure. He even played my favorite music to keep me distracted while he worked on me. I am very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend him.

I've been dealing with plastic surgery and skin cancer for over 30 years Dr Donratz work is amazing. I'm friends with other doctors who are amazed at the results. I've had 4 nose surgeries and he is the first one to be able to actually fix the problem. Dr Donratz will do all the reconstruction surgeries on me from now on.

Dr. Dobratz takes the time during and after surgery to make sure you get the best possible results.

Dr. Dobratz reconstructed my nose. I couldn't have asked for a better Doctor. Dr. Dobratz answered any questions I had throughout my process. He is very knowledgeable and has a great bedside manner as well. I highly recommend Dr. Dobratz and thank him for being so great throughout everything.

Dr. Dobratz did a phenomenal job performing the closure from my Mohs surgery. It has been only 2 months since the surgery on my nose, and the scar is barely visible. From the initial consult, throughout the surgery, and at the follow up visits Dr. Dobratz listened to my concerns and made me feel totally at ease. He was informative, professional, and caring. I am so pleased with the results of the surgery, and thankful he was recommended to me. Dr. Dobratz did a phenomenal job performing the closure from my Mohs surgery.

Dr. Dobratz has been the consummate professional. He executed my surgery superbly, removing a lipoma from my neck/collarbone. The follow-up treatment and care were excellent. I recommend him and his staff unconditionally.

I have a complicated case of reconstruction and would not recommend Dr. Dobratz. He has performed five surgeries for me involving reconstruction. His lack of compassion has propelled me to fire him and move on. Questions and concerns were dismissed or ignored on a continuous basis. Listening to the patient not a top priority, especially when in severe pain.

Dr.Dobratz is the best! I had been unable to breathe through my nose most of my adult life. Went through allergy treatments and all the steroid and non-steroid inhalers available with no relief. Having had 4 prior operations I did not have high expectations going into my fifth with Dr.Dobratz. The results are remarkable. I CAN FINALLY BREATHE! Highly recommend Dr.Dobratz.

He explained everything that was involved in my treatment. He was kind and caring. Easy to talk to and gave answers that I could understand. Was timely with appointments. Would definitely recommend him to anyone need that kind of surgery.

I really want to leave Dr Dobratz a good review but I just can’t. Calls to his office are hit or miss getting anyone helpful. If you get a return call from his nurse, good luck getting a timely appointment. He performed my first septoplasty and nasal vestibular stenosis repair in April 2016, Revision was needed by the following April and another in August 2017. Three surgeries. Each time making my ability to breathe worse! I’m now consulting with another plastic surgeon to undo the damage!!!

Dr. Dobratz does excellent work and makes sure his patients understand what is going on from start to finish. Had one really bad experience with scheduling where I was called to change an appointment date and attempting to get back with his office took 14 calls and 2 hours of wait time over 2 days including being given wrong numbers to call and put on hold for long delays. Easy fixes could include notifying nurse of an incoming call and using text messaging for appointments.

I was very pleased with the expertize of Dr. Dobratz's closing of some places that my dermatologist removed basal cells on my face. He took his time and I was left with NO SCARS. His office personnel could not have been more professional. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Dobratz to perform any facial surgery.

Excellent compassionate care provider. He keeps you informed and asks for your input. I highly recommend Dr. Dobratz for his skills and medical professionalism. One down side...his staff needs to learn to run a tighter schedule. Most appointments included a lengthy (45 minute+) wait time. I do understand that emergencies come up and surgeries extend longer than planned but to consistently run so late says someone on the administrative staff isn't paying attention.

I recently had an opportunity to visit Dr. Dobrat'z office to set up an Appt. for nose surgery. It was a very enjoyable experience. The receptionist was quite pleasant and I only waited 10 min. before I was taken back to a room to meet with Dr. Dobratz . He was friendly and very knowledgeable about my condition and what he could do to help alleviate my problem. I trust him completely. His nurse Kristie Burrus was especially helpful answering all my questions. I highly recommend Dr. Dobratz !

He performed an OUTSTANDING procedure on my nose after my Mohs surgery. My face looks like I never had the very extensive Mohs procedure to destroy basal cancer cells in my n. I am very impressed with his medical skills. I could not have received any better care anywhere.

I was operated on November 9, 2016 for a perforated septum. Dr. Dobratz is a no nonsense kind of doctor. His work is fabulous. Don't be in a hurry, however. His manifest is very booked and can run behind very quickly. Everything he explained to me and what to expect were spot-on. Having the Doyle stents in both nostrils for 14 days was almost enough to put me over the edge. LISTEN to what he says. This Doctor knows his stuff!!!

Dr. Dobratz is not only an excellent surgeon, he is a compassionate physician. He took the time to listen to my issues/concerns from two prior surgeries. He worked with me to try and resolve the issues until I was ready to undergo a third surgery. He corrected my deviated nasal tip, removed painful scar tissue, completed a cartilage graft and a columella reduction. I was so thrilled with the results that I now see him for other aesthetic goals. His staff is well trained and always attentive.

I had to wait a while to be seen by Dr. Dobratz in the the waiting room. It was long but, I knew that he was doing an office procedure at the time of my appointment. I was fine with this because if that was me or my family member I would want him to take his time. I was very nervous about getting my face done. I have had many operations but none like this. Dr. Dobratz made me feel very comfortable and before I knew it my procedure was done. I am so thankful for Dr. Dobratz he is the best

Dr. Dobratz was highly recommended to reconstruct my nose after Mohs surgery to remove skin cancer. I'm extremely pleased with the outcome - Dr. Dobratz reconstructed the natural lines and curves of my nose, and restored the symmetry that I worried about. He thoroughly explained everything that I could expect to occur pre, during, and post-surgery; it was completely accurate and there were no surprises. Dr. Dobratz and his staff are professional and very compassionate; I highly recommend them.

Dr.Dobratz did an amazing job with my surgery I needed after a car accident. He was very calm and collected which made me feel comfortable especially since the trauma area was face and scalp. I am so happy I chose Dr. Dobratz to take care of me.

After surgery, still have deviated septum, large scar on face, breathing worse than ever before. All should have been corrected with one surgery! after reading reviews, he may have been reluctant to fix my deviated septum.Dr. Dobratz's staff even asked me why he did not correct the deviated septum along with broken nose! I should not be having these problems if he would have done his job! My nose is numb, can't breath and have a scar for life now. Dr. not interested in well being of patients

Excellent surgeon on questionable procedure (deviated septum, removing cartilage from ear and inserting in nose) leaving me with problems I did not have before, discomfort/change to physical appearance. Like building an airplane hangar in my nose. Distorted the cartilage in one nostril (told would require another surgery to correct, billable) and negatively changed the external appearance of my nose, making in harder to shave under my nose and I cut myself frequently.

If getting surgery for a deviated septum: your nostrils may end up bulbous; tip of your nose may be truncated; cartilage in a nostril may be distended inwards by pressure of the cartilage from your ear that was inserted; be careful of forming your nose by pressuring it with your finger, this may distort the bone and require more surgery. My right nostril is clear, but boy do I wish I had my handsome old nose back. A challenging surgery for this good doctor, but we never expected this.
