Reviews for Houston, TX Plastic Surgeon Dr. Russell W. Kridel
"Dr.Kridel and his staff are the most amazing team out there. He performed my rhinoplasty and took care of each one of my concerns. As a senior in high school, I had no confidence when it came to my nose but after the surgery I look amazing and I’m actually more outgoing. I truly recommend him and his work. He is a very genuine person and cares for every patient. Honestly the best surgeon in Houston."
"Very pleased with the result from my facelift. Dr Kridel and his staff are wonderful, very professional and attentive from start to finish. They deserve 10 stars!"
"Originally I'd planned to use Dr. Kridel, the doctor that performed my mother's facial rejuvenation in 2006. Her result was perfect, and now in her mid-70s still looks better than any woman I've ever met her age. Dr. Delaney felt like the natural choice for my facial surgery. I'm more than satisfied with my result, and I'm happy that I didn't wait until I was older to do it."
"I was incredibly nervous when it came to getting my septal perforation repaired. Dr Kridel and all of his staff were supportive and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. They were able to answer all my questions and made sure I understood everything happening in terms of recovery and healing."
"My only regret is not coming here in the first place for my rhinoplasty!, I had my first rhinoplasty from a local surgeon who mostly did boob jobs, big mistake. My nose looked almost the same only it deviated to one side of my face making it asymmetrical and disturbing my facial harmony. Dr Kridell and his staff were super kind and made me feel welcome the entire journey. My nose looks amazing and I cant thank him enough!"
"Dr Kridell and his team are truly incredible. My personal life savers. I felt safe and confident in their ability to help me fix my perforated septum. - Its been a journey, from diagnoses to surgery to post surgery, I felt that I was in the best hands possible. Everyone was incredibly profesional and understanding, I never felt judged and most importantly I felt that there was a solution so that I could finally move forward with my life."
"I highly recommend Dr. Delaney. I saw him for the first time for under eye filler and he not only did amazing work he is patient and explains everything very well. Dr. Kridel has a great reputation and I am certain Dr. Delaney, who is a bit newer to the practice, will follow in his footsteps as a one of the top Docs in Houston. I have a consultation with Dr. Delaney coming up in January for a surgical procedure, so needless to say I have the highest level of trust in him."

"incredibly professional, informative and successful"

"I can tell that my nose will look better than the computer imaging - I had rhinoplasty surgery on Nov 23 2021. Dr Kridel and his staff provided me with five star care from start to finish. Choosing a surgeon was a daunting task so I’m writing this review to reassure those considering Dr Kridel in Houston. He is a true professional and an expert in his field. You will not be disappointed. The whole medical team on the day of surgery made me feel at ease and I was so nervous something would go wrong.The anesthesiologist explained everything to me which really helped. He has worked with Dr Kridel for twenty years. Either Dr Kridel or someone from his office will call you the night after your surgery to check on you. The surgery center will reach out to you the next day to make sure you are ok. Follow up care is very important for rhinoplasty so you will be seen several times in the first two weeks post-op.The results beat my expectations. I’m still swollen but I can tell that my nose will look better than the computer imaging. Be confident in your choice if you choose Dr Kridel. I can’t speak highly enough. Also, Dr Nicole Starr, the fellow working with Dr Kridel, is an absolute joy to work with and helped answer all of my crazy post-op questions. Thank you Dr Kridel and Dr Starr!!"
