Patient Reviews
Feb 18, 2023
I am disappointed with the outcome of my eyelid surgery and believe that corrective action is necessary. I have experienced issues with the results of the surgery, and I am concerned about the lack of accountability on the part of the doctor. I will now request another surgeon to help address these issues, and hopefully achieve the best possible outcome.

Dr Epstein has performed eyelid surgery and the results were so bad that I need additional surgery to fix everything he did to me.
