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 Experience : ptosis repair
I was very pleased with the results of my procedure I had a ptosis repair on my right eye and it made my eyes look more symmetrical. The staff were all very welcoming and attended to all of my needs and concerns. I would definitely come back for future operations.

Lower blepharoplasty with laser
I had an excellent experience with McCracken Eye and Face. Everyone i met was friendly, kind, knowledgable, and professional. From the consultation all the way through to the 3 month post op check up. Dr McCracken did an amazing job, he is easy to talk to and answered all my questions before and after the procedure. I absolutely LOVE my results, I look ten years younger! The procedure and recovery were easy. I had a normal amount of swelling and bruising, which I was well prepared for by the staff in my pre procedure consult, but I never had any pain at all. I 100% recommend Dr McCracken and his amazing staff.

Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty
I did an upper and lower blepharoplasty with Dr. McCracken and I was really nervous to go under any surgical procedures, but I am so glad I did, I wish I did it years ago. The results are great ! I look like myself , just better version ,and I don’t feel self-conscious about my eyes any more. I also feel like my eyesight got better ,as I don’t have skin hanging over my eyes anymore. Dr. McCracken is definitely amazing at what he does and delivers very natural results!

Flawless Results and No Regrets
I make a partial living off of modeling and my appearance, so there was a lot at stake coming to Dr.McCracken for my lower bleph and fat transfer to face. And it was the best decision I've ever made; it gifted me at least 7-10 years back in beauty. Don't get me wrong- any surgery is intense and scary. The post-op swelling can have you re-considering your life decisions lol. But the final results are worth everything! He is direct and attentive. A real, no-bs perfectionist type. And I love his natural approach. No one would suspect I had anything done. And the customer service was great, as I felt heard and respected every step of the way. I chose him over another clinic in Beverly Hills, CA and it was the correct decision. He has my full trust and I would even send my closest loved ones to get work done by him. Fair pricing too. Thank you Dr. McCracken and team.

Lower lid lift
Dr. McCracken is the best! I had a lower lid lift and love the results! I’ve received lots of compliments from my friends and family! He’s always on time, tentative towards your needs and always has good suggestions but is not pushy. His staff is great and always willing to answer questions or concerns. I would highly recommend him to my friends and family! Thank you Dr. McCracken for a great result!

I had a lower bleph (eye bags removed) along with a laser treatment. I was nervous having never done anything like this before, but the entire experience from start to finish has been fantastic! Dr. McCracken and his entire team were wonderful to work with. They helped me prepare for surgery day and made sure that I understood the post-op directions. The surgery went well and while the next few days were a little uncomfortable (no pain ever) I was surprised at how quickly I healed. I absolutely recommend Dr. McCracken and his whole team!

Skin Cancer Removal
Dr. McCracken and his staff are all top notch. I had surgery that removed a portion of the lower eye lid to remove skin cancer. Dr. McCracken did a great job patching everything up and the scaring is not even noticeable. The entire process with Dr. McCracken and his staff was professional and caring ever step of the way. Very happy with my results.

Upper Eyelid Surgery and Laser
I had a GREAT experience at Dr. Mike McCraken's office for upper eyelid lift and lasering around and under the eye. His staff went above and beyond to help me prepare for my surgery and answer all my questions. Dr. McCraken and staff took their time with my visits prior to surgery to discuss options, results for a successful, easy and very natural result. I can't thank them enough for the care, expertise and kindness I experienced during all my visits there. Thoughtful, careful approach and personal call to check in after surgery. OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE

I had one saggy eyelid that was starting to obstruct my vision, but even more than that, bothered me about how uneven my eyelids were. Dr. McCracken did a bleph procedure on my sagging eyelid and I'm so pleased with the outcome! My eyes are completely even and I look like me again.

I highly, and without any reservations, recommend Dr. McCracken. His thoughtful and careful approach, knowledge and expertise, and willingness to address all of my seemingly endless questions and concerns - before, day of and following - my procedure, was and is why I recommend him and his team at McCracken Eye and Face Institute. Dr. McCracken's entire team, including all office personnel, are also to be highly commended for their outstanding professionalism and for the kindness, respect and care shown to and also witnessed by me, towards others. I am so happy and completely satisfied with the results of my surgery. Thank-you!
