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.

I have been a patient for 20+ years, and has been unfailingly accurate, kind and simply put the best. My entire family sees him, some with complex issues, and he has always been spot on. I would not go elsewhere, and recommend him to all my friends

I was directed to Dr. Kristan for a consultation relative to a stye that would not heal on its own. The first time I visited his office he said I should schedule an appointment for a biopsy. The second time I visited his office and was scheduled for the biopsy the stye was virtually gone - I was reluctant to do the biopsy. I visted another ocuplastic surgeon in NYC and was told that nothing needed to be done and it was too small for a biopsy.

Had the opportunity to visit Dr. Kristan for a consult regarding my interest in cosmetic surgery on my lower eyelids. I was extremely impressed with the time I spent with Dr. Kristan. He took the time to explain to me that I was not a good candidate for the type of surgery I was seeking. He was honest about the possible outcome, answered all my questions, and gave me all the time I needed in order to answer my questions. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Kristan to family and friends.
