Patients benefit from Dr. Menicks decades of experience and recognition as a global leader in complex nasal repairs.
Rhinoplasty
Customized surgical enhancement of nasal appearance and function. Primary and secondary procedures address congenital deformities, post-trauma imperfections, or revision needs.

Dr. Menick was very unprofessional in handling my case after 2yrs. as a total nose reconstruction patient. I was told in an email NOT by phone that he was retiring and could no longer help me. I asked for a referral and he wouldn't even do that.

After several botched attempts by 2 previous surgeons who only seemed interested in seeing patients in turnstyle fashion, I was fortunate in finding Dr. Menick. He, along with his kind, caring and considerate staff, were able to correct the poorly performed procedures done earlier. I sincerely love to smile, and Dr. Menick was able to give me back my smile, which was something I was unable to do comfortably for a long time. Again, I say thank you to Dr. Menick and I only wish that I could give him a lot more than just 5 stars.

The best plastic surgeon in Tucson, hands down! He created a nose from scratch as my old one had no septum with no tip -- in other words, I had a freakish nose and he gave me an elegant one! Can't thank this man enough!

Dr. Menick is truly an amazing Plastic Surgeon. In 2014 I was diagnosed with skin cancer on my nose. I had a forehead flap done at that time. My Dr. at the time scheduled a home health nurse to come and change my bandage 2 times a week. On the first visit she cut my flap and of course it was destroyed. My Dr. at the time with the help of another Plastic Surgeon did what they could to get my nose back to normal, 8 surgeries later he finally said he could do no more, but stated he would find someone that could help me.

A few months later he told me to contact Dr. Menick, so I did. Dr. Menick preformed a second forehead flap (after having a tissue expander in for 2 months). In July of 2014 my husband and I drove back to Tucson for the surgery. I have had 3 other surgeries since then and had the last surgery on January 31st. I am so pleased with the results, and I know it is only going to get better as times goes by. Dr Menick gave me my confidence back and a reason to smile. My husband and I are truly thankful for what Dr. Menick has done for me. Forever grateful Clete and Tammy Young

Dr. Menick stitched my face up 25 years ago after a dog bite. Today, I have a scar that you would have to look real hard to find and minimal loss of sensation. I didn't have insurance and he didn't care. He let me pay it off. He was an A+++ physician.

Caring and kind staff. Dr. Menick is very knowledgeable and friendly. I was having trouble with weeping sutures from a 2006 abdominoplasty performed elsewhere, and he removed them for me.
