Patient Reviews
Nov 02, 2024
He was thorough in his explanation of what would be done to improve my eyelid that was drooping and interfering with my vision and what I could reasonably expect. After surgery and the swelling was completely gone my eyelid is where it belongs, vision is measurably improved even better than I expected, and the scar ins unnoticeable where located in the crease above the eyelid. Really pleased.
