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.

Under Eye Surgery
This was an elective surgery that I decided to do based on my discussion with her regarding the risks involved. She said there would be inconsequential scarring that would be nearly invisible over time. I trusted her because she treated me successfully for other eye-related issues. The results of this surgery were horrific. Major patches of scarring were visible both underneath my eyes and along the upper nose area. Further, she didn't even removed the excess tissue in my left eye. I contacted her to discuss this situation hoping that something could be done medically to reverse the damages done to my face. To my surprise and disappointment, she demonstrated no understanding of how I felt about the outcome of this surgery. She was annoyed when I asked her questions and really didn't provide any answers or helpful recommendations. Sadly, I still have scarring that I believe will never go away without further medical treatment. That's all.

The result of my upper lid blepharoplasty was very favorable, even noticeable on the way home the day of surgery. Healing has gone very well. The instructions that were provided for post surgical care were extremely easy to follow. I did everything I was asked to do and I believe this is the reason that my healing has gone so very well. Anytime after surgery that I had a concern, the office staff was very attentive and helpful. Dr. Julie and Dr. Ginter make a great team.

I cannot believe all the positive reviews on Julie Woodward. She ruined my face with lasers and has no idea what she is doing. After she destroys you, she lies and disappears. Good luck getting before photos without a law suit. Every doctor I speak with knows this about her. She plays like a plastic surgeon- but she is not

Dr. Julie Woodward operated several times correcting ectropion in both eyes. She also treated me for facial infection & scarring that occurred during an accident. I am happy with the results. She is a lovely, caring and empathetic physician who is a very skilled professional. She is highly recommended by me.
