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.

Highly Recommend!
I recently had a lower blepharoplasty performed by Dr. Mettu, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. From start to finish, my experience was exceptional.The communication was top-notch, with Dr. Mettu providing detailed and prompt responses to all my questions via text both before and after the surgery. I felt fully informed and at ease every step of the way. Dr. Mettu was refreshingly honest throughout the entire process. He provided realistic expectations and answered all my questions candidly, which I greatly appreciated. It’s clear that he prioritizes patient care and well-being above all else.The post-op instructions were incredibly clear and easy to follow. I felt fully supported in my recovery with the guidance he provided, and I healed faster than I anticipated.Now, looking at the results, I couldn’t be happier! My lower eyelids look rejuvenated and natural—exactly what I was hoping for. I highly recommend Dr. Mettu!

Upper and lower blepharoplasty
Dr. Mettu was very thorough in his examination and took time to explain the procedures and to answer all questions, both before and after the surgery. He was knowledgeable about costs and procedure to file insurance. I have never waited to see Dr Mettu for a scheduled appointment and his office is very organized with skilled support staff. He was extremely polite, professional and respectful in his interactions with patients. I highly recommend Dr Mettu as an oculofacial surgeon.

In looking for a top rated eye and face surgeon, part of my research was to consider Google reviews, so it seems appropriate that I write one myself for Dr. Mettu.After meeting with Dr. Mettu we decided on a series of CO2 laser treatments. My results were remarkable!!! Dr. Mettu is very knowledgeable, personable, competent and well spoken. During my treatments, he made sure to let me know exactly what he was doing at all times, as well as make sure I was feeling fine. His staff is equally great and helped me from beginning to end. Dr. Mettu is all around the most exceptional doctor I have ever met and I highly recommend!!!! I even drive over an hour because I know that Dr. Mettu and his staff will provide me with the care I need!

Dr. Mettu, was very knowledgeable about my eye lid condition. Right away advised me that only surgery would resolve the issue. Surgery was a success. After surgery, there were two follow up exams. I highly recommend Dr. Mettu!!

DDr. Mettu is an amazing person and Surgeon.
Telehealth
Dr. Mettu is a great person and surgeon. He pays very close attention to every single detail. He is meticulous about his work. He wants everyone to have a seamless and perfect outcome from their surgery. He wants to make sure that you feel comfortable through every single step of the process consultation, before surgery during surgery and after surgery. He calls his patients personally, including myself three or four times post op to make sure everything is going well and healing well. He goes out of his way to accommodate his patients. I personally had a situation where I was not able to make it into the office for my three month follow up appointment and we did a telehealth visit just so that we could connect and communicate and that Dr. Mettu could see Awesome work via computer screen. He is an amazing surgeon and amazing person . Love me some Dr. Mettu. Rose was also very helpful with insurance and pre surgical approvals and what my Portion to pay would be.

Bilateral blepharoplasty, unilateral ptosis repair
Dr. Mettu provided excellent care. He and his office staff were friendly, competent and accommodating. He provided excellent communication and follow up during the process. He was always available by text if needed. I am still healing (3 months), but the results are great. I am very satisfied with the care provided. I am also a Registered Nurse and would definitely recommend Dr. Mettu and his staff.

I love my eyes!
I had ptosis repair and upper blepharoplasty with Dr. Mettu and my experience was fantastic. I had done an abundance of research prior to even scheduling my initial consultation. At that point, I was anticipating having multiple other consults etc... Dr. Mettu’s bedside manner is wonderful, his office is spotless, and he is meticulous in his work. I was so wowed with my initial appointment that I proceeded to schedule surgery. The surgery went exactly as planned. Dr. Metttu was also very attentive during my post-operative period and patient with all of my questions. Now, I am 4 months later loving my new set of eyes! I would without hesitation fully recommend Dr. Mettu for any eye procedures.
