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.

The first surgery was so horrible I had to go back for a second time to lift my eyelids out of my vision. After the second surgery, it’s actually worse. I have to hold my eyelid up with my finger in order to see. Furthermore I still have the puffy eyelids which are hanging down on both sides. I never should have gone. I would not have, had I read the reviews first. I will be contacting the insurance company and complaining. Like Another person said, he should retire.

He doesn't explain anything before the surgery. His staff is very rude, especially who did the thread removal after the surgery. My eyelid looks pretty bad even after the surgery 3 years later. I am embarrassing to see people....I am regretting to use him. Yes, it is that bad.

I had a consult with him for blepharoplasty - he seemed not to care and he just seemed tired and didn't explain in detail what he thought should be done. And that Midwest Eye office (Greenwood) was horrible - long wait, very noisy, just overall did not feel confident about him - he is old and needs to retire I think. I also decided this after I saw poor ratings about him.

He doesn't really seem concerned or thorough enough with eye issues I am having. Every time I leave his office, I have more questions than answers. He needs to retire. I am not happy with his level of care due to his lack of compassion and thoroughness.

This man should not be allowed to practice. Went to have a minor eye surgery. He botched it, left the hospital, took hours to get back. Lost enough blood to be transported to st. V. End result.. a permanent notch in my eye lid. Not a chance I would return to this man, and told my primary eye clinic to NOT refer others to him.

Went in to get excess skin sagging above my eyes and causing vision problems fixed and had the surgery but it doesn't look like it! All that for nothing!
