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 Popham performed my eye surgery several years ago and I still remember the excellent care and quality results. My eyes still look great. More recently, my boyfriend had upper and lower lid surgery. His excess lid skin and bags were removed. Healing took time, but the final results were worth it.

I had to have surgery done right away to remove a tumor that was pressing on my eye and causing leakage in and around my eye. He is very professional and took time out right before the surgery to ensure I didn't have any more questions and that I was comfortable. Great doctor and surgeon. Surgery went quickly and smoothly.

I had an upper cosmetic blepharoplasty surgery with Dr. Popham. My results are amazing! I love the look of my eyes now and always get compliments on how good they look.

Dr Popham performed an upper & lower blepharoplasty. My upper lids had a lot of excess skin. While evaluating, we talked the possibility of decreasing the dark circles under my eyes. Dr P said I would look great and that people would notice a difference that made me look less tired-likely hearing positive comments even without anyone knowing I had the procedures completed (that has yet to happen). After the surgery, I was not at all happy with the results AND now I had big bags under my eyes which were not there beforehand. After a period of healing and letting things settle, Dr P again worked on the upper and lower. The good news is that the upper lids do look better- not what I hoped for, but there is a difference. The lower now have bigger bags & darker circles. After another healing period, Dr P said I could go with fillers to help with the dark circles. Seriously? This entire experience was a big mistake. Very disappointing. Dr P is a great guy but I'm not happy with his work.

Went to Dr. Popham to see if he could correct my smile because of Bell’s palsy but never corrected on its own. I said I would like more symmetry. He suggested an eyebrow lift and a cheek lift. My face looks more abnormal now than before the surgery. I wish he would have been honest and tell me he couldn’t help me, but I had the surgery in October 2017, and my face still feels numb like I’ve had dental work done. I wasted $9,000.00 and hate the way I look. I cannot recommend him.

Had an Upper Blepharoplasty a week ago. Cannot give enough stars to the whole team who cared for me, to include, of course, Dr. Popham. Was so impressed with the process from start to finish. Specific mention to Ashia, Kim, Cindy and Brenda. Thank you... I am a happy camper!

Dr. Popham made my eyes crooked. My eyes are smaller, too. I wish I picked a different surgeon! He never explained what exactly he was going to do to my eyes, he just said, "You're going to get your looks back!" I should have asked more questions, because my looks are permanently ruined. for absolutely no reason. When I asked him about the lack of symmetry, he said "You don't want too much symmetry, too much symmetry looks unnatural" He botched my surgery and downplayed the bad results.

Dr. Popham scheduled my surgery in January, 2014 to remove a mass above my left eye. After the procedure was performed, he indicated that it was not a cyst and that he planned to send the biopsy to his laboratory. He also indicated that he was unable to remove the entire mass, the mass turned out to be a rare form of sarcoma. Since that time I have had several MRI's, all negative, thanks to Dr. Popham's surgical skills.

I am a bit disappointed that My husband could not experience the medical service of Dr. Popham. A week before surgery we asked for medical billing codes so that we could call out insurance company. We were asked if I was in billing but explained that I had surgery two weeks before. We signed billing agreement and I was guaranteed they would get right back with us for this information. One week later and too late to cancel we were given our fees and time for surgery. Very big manipulation. Sad

Dr. Popham performed 3 surgeries on my teenage daughter's eyelids. The eyelids muscles were weak and unable to work properly. The lids started out equal, but after 3 surgeries they are now a mess and one lid gets stuck. When we confronted him with or displeasure he said it could take as many as 10 surgeries to get it right and then talked down to us, as if understanding a procedure was above our understanding with blood and tissue in the way so he can't guarantee anything. Disgracefu
