Patient Reviews
Jan 20, 2024
Dr. Silkiss did both my upper and lower blepharoplasty and the results even just 3 days post-surgery are truly incredible! During my initial consultation appointment, Dr. Silkiss listened carefully, answered all my questions and really took the time to explain the procedures and what I could expect. It was also very convenient as she has multiple office and surgery locations. I didn’t have to travel far or deal with traffic. The surgery center was also exceptional from the Anesthesiologist to the wonderful surgical RNs and office staff. Surgery with Dr. Silkiss has taken years off my appearance and I could not be more grateful. If you are considering eye surgery I highly recommend Dr. Silkiss! I’m so glad after much research and consideration I chose her as my surgeon. Thank you Silkiss Eye Surgery!
