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.

Dr Nakra is a very skilled Oculoplastic Surgeon.
I am very pleased with the results of eye lid surgery on both eyes. He reviewed the surgery with me before it was done and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. He is extremely knowledgeable, technically efficient and personable. On my follow up appointment he guided me on further care I should follow for a couple of weeks. To date everything has gone beautifully .

Blepharoplasty and Brow Lift
Dr. Nakra is a skilled oculoplastic surgeon, with a great education and plenty of experience. He quickly discerned exactly what needed to be done to correct my drooping lids and redundant skin. The surgical procedure was handled extremely well. One week after the procedure I am thrilled with the result and understand what will happen during the healing process. In addition to being great technically, Dr. Nakra cares about his patients and communicates thoroughly and concisely. His demeanor and empathy were an important part of what made his treatment so effective. I highly recommend him for anyone who needs eyelid surgery.

Oculoplasty surgery.
Dr. Nakra is a highly skilled oculoplastic surgeon with excellent bedside manner. I've had two surgeries with him and have been very pleased with the results. With both surgeries, Dr. Nakra achieved the goals I had desired and the outcome was a very natural look. I would recommend Dr. Nakra for oculoplastic surgery.

Can't say enough about Dr Nakra and my results
Dr Nakra was the first and last of five surgeons I interviewed. He always stood out for how he listened, responded and collaborated with me as a patient, and has the absolute best bedside manner (as do his fellows and nurses). We decided on two surgeries to see how my eyes healed before doing a face lift. If you have time, I highly recommend. First was an upper/lower bleph with under-eye laser resurfacing for crepe-y skin; two months later was a deep plane face/neck lift plus brow lift and chin implant. I was nervous about impacting the look of my eyes with the brow lift since they're my biggest feature -- but the results were perfect. Now, at 58, I literally have NO bags or wrinkles under my eyes, and a beautiful jawline I've never had before. Three weeks post-face lift I was attending SXSW parties with everyone asking "who was your surgeon!?". I feel so emotional about what Dr. Nakra did for me and will be forever grateful. Thank you Dr. Nakra!

Better than expected results!
I am very pleased with the results of the upper blepharoplasty and brow lift performed by Dr. Nakra and his team. They were careful to thoroughly explain the procedures in advance and detail the expected results. Both the surgery and the recovery were painless.

Blepharoplasty and Full Facelift
After doing much research, I chose Dr. Nakra for a blepharoplasty and facelift. I have been wanting a facelift for years and was able to get an appointment with Dr. Nakra in March. He gave me an excellent plan for both. My eyelids were covering a third of my pupil and I could not see well, so he did the blepharoplasty first to see how I would heal. The surgery was excellent and I healed quickly. I highly recommend a blepharoplasty as it is one of the best procedures you can do for your appearance. In August, the face lift surgery was performed. I had a lower face and neck lift, a brow/forehead lift, a lower blepharoplasty, an upper lid repair in the inner corners, a lip lift, buccal fat removal, and a periorbital laser resurfacing. I love it that he came to my house the next day to check on everything. I am now three months out and healing beautifully. It is amazing to wake up in the morning and see a rejuvenated face. I am 70. I am blessed to know Dr. Nakra. He is the best!

Dr.Nakra is top notch! From the very first consult to the follow up appointments after my upper eye lid surgery. He is very thoughtful, knowledgeable, honest, kind and amazing at what he does. I could not be happier. I was referred through a mutual friend and I’ve referred everyone who asks. I would definitely use him again for my lower eyes.

Dr. Nakra is phenomenal. His surgical skill/technique is one that produces natural and beautiful results! I'm so grateful my dermatologist told me to "google Nakra" when I mentioned wanting help with my eyebags. There's a reason he's known as the best in his specialty. I had previously received tons of filler in my eye area to mask the bags, but over time the filler began to move/bunch and look unnatural. Dr. Nakra was able to address and correct the underlying issue causing the bags in the first place, and he left NO scars! Both Dr. Nakra and his nurse Angelina are truly incredible. They are both incredibly gifted, kind, honest, and truly want you to walk away 100% satisfied with results. Needless to say, I'm never letting anyone other than Dr. Nakra ever touch my face again. SO grateful!

Dr. Nakra was supposed to do my eyelid surgery in January 2021. However, after I signed the consent form showing Dr. Nakra as my surgeon, and after I was drugged on Xanax & Hydrocodone, his trainee’s name was added to the consent form without my knowledge or consent. She did surgery on my left eyebrow and right eye, and he did the reverse. The result was a total failure. My eyelids still droop below the top of my pupils just like they did, my eyebrows were not raised and my bags are essentially unchanged. The surgery was a total failure, and I will have to repeat it. However, my brows cannot be raised now because almost all of the loose skin was removed. If my brows arew raised now, I will not be able to shut my eyes. Beware of Dr. Nakra.

Dr. Nakra preformed blepharoplasty and ptosis surgery in 2017. I was very pleased with the results. In 2020, I had a small cyst on my eyelid which he removed. The pathology returned a diagnosis of sebaceous cell carcinoma resulting in 2 additional surgeries. He then preformed an upper brow lift on the other side to make things more symmetrical. Dr. Nakra is professional, a perfectionist and has a good bedside manner. His his staff is excellent!
