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.

Great listener and outstanding surgeon
I can’t say enough good things about Dr Mehta. He’s a great listener and answered all of my questions without ever rushing me. He’s a skilled doctor who performed my ptosis surgery with great success. I highly recommend Dr Mehta.

Office visit
I have a rare, complex facial nerve damage issue that Dr Mehta is able to handle with nerve blocking injections. He is a knowledgeable, highly skilled yet personable physician.

Excellent surgeon, listens attentively to patient.
Dr. Mehta listened to my concerns, and answered all questions thoroughly. He took action to alleviate my complaints about continued blurriness in my eye, with prescription and advice. Discussed possible future actions, if issue didn't resolve. He was very pleasant and reassuring.

Skillful and incredible ‘bedside’ manner
Dr Mehta is so obviously skilled as an ocular surgeon, but what sets him apart for me is his manner. He is upbeat, answers questions patiently, keeps one informed, and is quite responsive. His staff— front desk and assistants— are equally engaging and responsive. I had several options for the procedure i needed— a Moh’s closure in a delicate area— I am very glad I chose Dr. Mehta.

Eyebrow/lid trauma
Dr. Mehta was calm and informative, but not patronizing, when discussing scar and infection prevention, recovery, and corrective measures in healing from an eyebrow/lid laceration that required two series of stitches. He was very helpful in answering questions with the underlying rationale and very reassuring in describing a plan A/plan B approach to ease my anxiety about huge, permanent facial scarring. Could not be more grateful for the care and attention he AND HIS STAFF provided.

Eyelid ptosis surgery
Dr. Mehta is an excellent doctor and surgeon. He did a great job with my ptosis surgery and the recovery process was relatively quick and easy. I was also very impressed with how well he answered all of my questions. He is very patient and genuinely cares about his patients and takes the time to address questions in a thoughtful and candid manner. His assessments of my condition and expected results from surgery were very accurate.

Upper and Lower Bleph Raves
I had upper and lower blepharoplasty with Dr. Mehta. I had hooded eye and hollow tear ducts. I chose Dr. Mehta based on referral, the fact he is an oculoplastics dr. and his process, which doesn't stop at surgery. PROCESS: 1. Consultation A+ Dr. Mehta explained exactly what he was going to do and what I needed to do in order to get the best results, which does not stop at surgery. 2. Surgery/After Care. A+ I was bruised, I had holders on my face where Dr. Mehta moved fat to fill tear hollows, and looked horrible. No pain. This was my 1st cosmetic surgery experience & I needed a lot of hand holding. Dr. Mehta gets an A+++ in hand holding. He responded to every concern w/NO EGO, and everything he said was going to work out -- WORKED OUT PERFECTLY. 3. Lasers/Jan Marini. A+ I had 3 laser treatments and switched to Jan Marini. 4. Results: A+. I do not look like I have had surgery, but like I've had 15 years erased from my face. My skin is luminous.
