Patient Reviews
Aug 08, 2020
I recently had a ptosis repair due to a side effect I developed after cervical spine surgery. I had contemplated whether or not to have it repaired for over a year and finally decided to go through with at least a consultation. I was extremely satisfied with my care from start to finish. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and I felt comfortable with Dr VanPutten throughout the process. The surgery was a success and I am so happy with the result. It gave me some confidence back and it was a fast and easy recovery. Only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner. Would highly recommend.
