Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Blepharoplasty, Frontal Brow Lift
If you require a Blepharoplasty and or brow lift, Dr Burroughs and his staff are your best bet in obtaining a personalized care plan and surgery that are done methodically and conducted entirely with the patient’s personal feelings and lifetime satisfaction in mind. Throughout the process I could not have been more pleased with the thoroughness and care taken in ensuring my well being. The outcome was outstanding and I felt I was in highly skilled and caring hands from beginning to end.

Dr. Burroughs didn't treat me like a number, which happens so many times in doctors offices.I was impressed by the personal way he greeted me and then asked me about my day so far. He definitely cares for his patients and takes an interest in them beyond his professional requirements

Amazing practice
I recently had surgery on my upper and lower eyelids and am so happy with the results. I'll never miss my drooping eyelids and the bags and dark circles under my eyes! I've had a minor issue (no fault of Dr. Burroughs), and Dr. B has really extended the best care possible. I highly recommend him and his staff.

Amazing Doctor
My husband had is eyelids done back in January 2024. He was unable to drive due to his peripheral being obstructed. After meeting with Dr. Burroughs he felt confident enough to proceed with surgery. He did a amazing job with little to no discomfort and my husband feels confident driving once again. He feels like a new man!! I look forward to continue to do some treatments of a different nature on my own. Highly recommend

Professional, knowledgeable, good results
I had Dr. Burroughs fill my under eye area to cover dark circles and fill in the hollows. I did a lot of research because I was nervous about being injected in this area. His credentials are impressive, and he had been recommended by a family member. He is very knowledgeable and competent and has a great bed side manner. He and Ivy put me at ease and answered all my many questions. He did not go overboard with the filler, but instead had me come back 2 weeks later for a touch up. It was a positive experience and I’m very happy with the results.

Best Chemical Peel Ever! Hands Down
I went in for a chemical peel and usually when I have these they apply the peel and send me on my way, this time they applied the peel and gave me a facial afterwards! That has never happened an it was so refreshing. I know I was going to be a repeat customer and the initial consultation, Essa did my peel and she was absolutely divine, all the girls were great. Thank you everyone <3
