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.

I have let 2 years elapse after my last surgery with this doctor to ensure a fair appraisal. I was referred to Dr. Holck by my eye doctor for eyelid tucks. Dr. Holck insisted I needed a brow lift as well. The result after the first surgeries (browlift and 2 tucks) was that neither eye would stay closed at night, which was damaging my corneas. Second surgeries to release the lids resulted in the left eye closing, but the right remaining open. After the third surgery on my right eyelid, Dr. Holck declared that he could do nothing more. I am left with puckered sutures, great folds in my lids, and a damaged cornea which requires that a cadaver membrane be inserted for 5 days three times a year. I also have to wear goggles at night to keep my cornea from drying further, and must use both prescription eye drops and lubricant drops throughout the day. I leave it to you to ascertain my opinion of Dr. Holck as a competent surgeon.

upper & lower blephoplasty
I had upper & lower blephoplasty .Dr Holk explained procedure briefly, said I was a good candidate. My left lower eye area is sunken in from too much fat removed. He said things would improve w time, they havent.. He slights you if you ask too many questions.I had grt difficulty in getting a person call me, or return my messages.Staff is rude & they reflect him.DONT let him do any surgery on you.

Front Desk Staff
The front desk staff are difficult to get a hold of. Will not return messages and transfer calls to voicemails. Incredibly frustrating.

Brow lift and upper/lower blepharoplasty
Think twice. Had done in 2018. Noticed numbness on left side of head and pain above left eye. Incisions were greater then told they would be. Have tracks on my now. When brought to Dr Holck’s attention he would always deflect on how great things looked. Guess they did bc I could have had a droopy eye, unable to open or close my eye, unable to lift my eyebrow so yes I guess it could have been worse. The fact that my surgery took less than the time it took my son to drive home and called to come get me tells me it was rushed. Maybe if he took his time things would b different but they’re not. I was told every visit “don’t worry feeling will come back” and “u look great.” All I can say is think twice when u consider dr Holck. He’s a very nice person but questionable on surgical skills. Think twice when having him do ur surgery.

Absolutely unacceptable
Doctor was very nice but overly optimistic. Staff was rude, constantly rescheduling, thoughtless. Disappointing results and painful to work with. Want you to travel to other cities to see them once you are a captive patient. Definitely must be better places to go.

The first time I called for an appointment, I had a hard time getting through. Finally someone told me that someone would call me back by the end of that day. No one ever called me back. I called them back a few days later, and again had a very hard time getting anyone to answer. . When someone finally answered, they very rude!!! Dr. Holck came highly recommended, but I was treated rudely on the phone. He needs to replace some of his office staff!!
