Patient Reviews
Nov 08, 2024
Superb Service from start to finish with Dr. Gil Epstein and his most amazing team of assistants Kim & Caitlin! My father had major melanoma removal from his lower eye lid. After 3 extensive MOH’s surgeries at his dermatologist, my dad arrived to Dr. Epstein in very bad shape and very late in the day. His team stayed late and worked on my father like he was family. Dr. Gil’s daughter assisted with this extensive repair and it was very amazing how father and daughter worked so great side by side as I was also there with my dad. Helping with my fathers care through these stressful elderly years, it was refreshing to see this family take the time and care with their patients and treat us with such care. They had to do a skin graft that they promised would look amazing when we came back in 30 days to have the eye opened! My father and I were shocked to see how awesome his eye looked after making a whole new eye lid! I would highly recommend Dr. Gil Epstein. Truly the best!
