I perform several hundred major surgical procedures of the eyelids, upper face, eye sockets, and tear drains every year. I utilize a surgical and nonsurgical approach that is tailored to the individual patient. The surgeries that I do are reliable and generally safe, with very high patient satisfaction. I often see the most complex of eyelid cases, often people who have had numerous attempts at cosmetic surgeries that have left them with malpositioned eyelids and bruised self-esteem. I also help to guide people through their first cosmetic eyelid procedure as well. I participate in a wide array of insurances.
