Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Surgery on eye lid
I'm a guardian for a cognitively delayed adult and Dr. Pariseau was very thorough and understanding with her. He spoke to her as well as myself so she felt she was involved in her care even though she couldn't understand it. I was very confident in his care and the surgery and the full procedure went wonderfully smooth. The Davis, Duehr Dean Eye Clinic was very thorough and made sure she was treated for the best outcome! Very respectful of all our needs! Thank you!

Great Communication
I received care with Dr. Pariseau and after my first visit he explained to me throughly what to expect for my upcoming surgery. I walked out with a folder of clear communication of what to expect, what to do, what to expect in terms of billing practices as well (provider, facility, anesthesia) I was completely confident in choosing Dr. Pariseau and DDD. I would 100% go back! Everyone was great before, during and after my procedure!

Eyelid Levator Lift
I am currently 20 years old and in the last 2 years suffered from ptosis out of the blue, not only was it an adjustment in my appearance but it was hard to see my surroundings from the right side of my face, due to my eyelid covering my pupil. I met with Dr. Pariseau due to the recommendations of my current doctor, and I am so glad he was recommended. I am very pleased with his work, he went in and reconnected my levator muscle. I healed wonderfully due to his work and his recommended supplements. He is a wonderful, passionate Doctor and for anyone looking to get any procedure from him, I highly suggest his work.

WOW! Grateful for Dr. Pariseau and his staff!
I was nervous about procedure and especially recovery. Dr. Pariseau and the staff at SSM did an outstanding job preparing me for what I needed to do to get ready for surgery. They explained every step of the way and made it so much easier than I expected. Also results were amazing. I can see so much more of the world. Everyone is extremely kind and helpful. Dr. Pariseau even called himself to check on my recovery! I highly recommend him!

I had upper eyelid surgery by Dr. Pariseau which went very well. He thoroughly went over my surgery, answered questions and gave a detailed outline for preop and postop care. I followed his instructions and had an excellent result. I enjoy reading and my droopy lids were obstructing my vision making it difficult to read. I am a few weeks out from surgery and am back to reading! I had very little bruising or pain.

Dr. Pariseau was the surgeon that did my husbands eye surgery. We would highly recommend him. We cannot say enough good things about him. My husband was highly satisfied with the results. He explained everything so well and made sure all our questions were answered. He took his time and did not rush through anything during our appt. He treats you like a person and not a number. When we left he had a printed out list of everything we would need to get for before surgery and after surgery. He also makes sure the spouse is included in all the conversations. There are so many Doctors now adays that do not even include the spouse in the conversation. He had his surgery on Friday and on Monday Dr. Pariseau called my husband to see how he was doing. That was wonderful that he took the time to check on him. My husband is 79 years old and that is the first time a Dr. called to see how he was doing after surgery. That says a lot about the Dr. He is so kind and personable.

I first saw Dr. Pariseau on March 9th, through a referral from Dr. D. Geanon, MD/Ophthalmologist due to my eyes continuously having folds on the upper lids, which greatly interfered with my vision and driving. I met Dr. Pariseau, after a field vision exam. He did a variety of measurements on my eyes/forehead. His conclusion from the test, measurement and pictures, that I would be a good candidate for eyelift surgery and anchors being placed under my eyebrows. He was very straight forward explaining the surgical procedure. He listened carefully to my questions and qualms about the surgery and gave me straight answers on everything. My surgery was done on March 31st, with follow up on April 12th. My husband/I did EXACTLY what he had outlined for steps prior to/after surgery. I did have some swelling and discomfort, but absolutely no bruising!! My follow up appointment was on April 12th. The first thing that I said was, "I can see!!, really see." Dr. Pariseau was also pleased.

I had Dr. Pariseau did do my eyelid surgery and couldn't be more pleased. He was patient, calm, knowledgeable, reassuring and provided more information prior to surgery than I expected. I was glad to purchase the drops, etc. I needed ahead of time. Everything went as planned. Very skilled surgeon. Results are very natural looking, improved my sight and don't have the deer-in-the-headlights look when too much is taken. Just had my 2 week followup and was getting compliments after only a week, with people asking who did it. I'm 100% comfortable with recommending Dr. Pariseau and would see him again for any future needs.

Dr Pariseau did a beautiful job! No bruising with very little pain or swelling. It is great to have full vision again, the improvement is more than I expected. The curvature is perfect. I no longer have to continually reposition my bifocals and vision clarity awesome. Dr Pariseau was very thorough with explanation of procedure, what to expect and follow up care instructions.

I just had my last check up visit for the 2nd procedure i have had done by Dr. Pariseau. I would highly recommend him should you need his expertise as a surgeon. His demeanor, willingness to explain and give options, and most of all his surgical skills, puts him in the top of my list of great doctors.

I found Dr Pariseau to be very through when he explained my eye issue and what needed to be done to correct it. He made me feel very confident about how he would perform the procedure, the anesthesia to be employed, how it works and what I would (actually not feel) and the post surgical effects of the anesthesia. I felt he was very comfortable with taking all the time necessary to make me feel that I was in fact, going to receive the best care possible to address my eye issue. I would recommend Dr Pariseau to anyone who would be in need of his specialized services.

My experience with Dr. Pariseau was excellent. Explanation, expectations, and pre-post op instructions were concise and thorough. He was friendly and professional, making me feel at ease and confident. I am post op day 12 and have had NO pain at any time. Pre-post op care by staff was superb. My vision has improved noticeably. I highly recommend Dr. Pariseau, and am grateful for his expertise. I am a retired OR nurse, and my high expectations were exceeded. My procedure was bilateral upper blepharoplasy and levator repair.

Dr. Pariseau and the others who assist at office appointments asked specific questions, explained instructions as well as providing written instructions and asked if I had questions. After surgery I thought I may have more discomfort and discoloring. I followed instructions and am finding it is miraculous what is transpiring so I can see better.
