When I told my optometrist that I wanted to get an upper and lower blepharoplasty, and asked if she had a recommendation, she told me in the future, she will be going to see Dr. Aliza Epstein at Ft. Lauderdale Institute. I am four months post-surgery and I am very happy with the results. My upper lids were really starting to bother me when I looked in the mirror. I was starting to look like a Shar Pei! Now that I see the before and after photos; what blows me away are how different my lower lids look! The bags are gone! It was so worth the investment and ...
I had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Burgess and the entire team in Fort Lauderdale. From the moment I walked in, everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional. The staff made me feel comfortable right away, which really sets the tone for a great visit. Dr. Burgess is extremely thorough and attentive. They took the time to listen carefully, answer all of my questions, and explain everything in a way that was easy to understand. I never felt rushed, and it was clear that they genuinely care about their patients and their overall ...
Thank you to Dr.Gil Epstein and Kim Poirot for their wonderful treatment during my recent entropion surgery. Dr. Epstein is a highly skilled surgeon, and Kim provided excellent follow up. The entire staff and operation at Fort Lauderdale Eye Institute, although extremely busy, is smooth, friendly and efficient. Easy to recommended FLEI.
Dr Burgess is simply amazing, he is not like other Doctors who make you feel worse about your situation and pushes medicine or procedures that do not work. He is compassionate and has a very relaxing demeanor I wish he was my primary care Dr. He is really like ano other. My vision has improved so much I am able to thrive and still do the things I love to do. Thank you from the bottom oy my heart to you and your amazing staff.
Dr. Skolnick and his team/ technicians made my procedure today a Triple AAA experience. From walking through the door, intake, waiting lobby, coffee bar, considerate testing technicians, to my procedure with the Dr… All made for “Success”🙌
I had a lower lid blepharoplasty with fat repositioning and CO₂ laser resurfacing with Dr. Aliza Epstein, and I’m very happy with the results. From the consultation through the procedure and follow-up, Dr. Epstein was professional, polite, thorough, and honest about what to expect. She took the time to explain the plan, answer my questions, and make sure the approach was tailored to my anatomy. My under-eye bags and hollowing look significantly improved while still looking natural. Thank you.
