Great Doc
made what was a stressful event, for me, comfortable and secure. so happy with how much more i can see- husband happy with result too! i feel and look much better, so pleased with a natural look--been told i look great, rested --- no one can "tell" i have had "obvious" "eye job".. Dr Walrath was informative, sensitive to what my concerns were, made me feel i could call any time with any question or concern. Staff was quick, friendly and professional --all around a great experience with a great result.
I had a cyst removed from my eyelid, and was in and out in 30 minutes. It is the day after, and I have no pain. Most doctors have you come for consultation, come back for the procedure, and return for a check up; in the interest of time (and copays), I have a great appreciation for one and done!
After a disastrous eyelift in Florida, I googled all my complaints and the internet came up with this guy. I drove the 400 miles to see him. He really listened. I was so impressed, I booked a revision with him, drove home and then drove back for the surgery. I'm so glad I did! I couldn't be happier. I don't cry anymore when I look in the mirror. Save yourself the drama and just go to this guy in the first place. Even in a 10X magnification mirror, you can't even tell I have a scar. Miraculous! Flawless work.
Dr. Walrath was professional, efficient, and very positive during my lid lift. He was successful with improving my vision with a small amount of discomfort. I would highly recommend him!
It's was almost painless, the bruising and swelling was less than we expected.im seeing so much better.evert one says Ino longer look like a Bassett hound.
The results of the surgery were exactly as explained and expected. Dr Walrath and all of his staff, in the clinic and at the hospital, were all wonderful.
My ptosis repair surgery was a total success. Dr. Walrath is a wonderful person and professional in every sense of the word. His support staff is top notch. I would recommend The Woolfson Eye Institute to my family and friends.
The total experience in Dr. Walrathss office has been excellent. Everyone is very accommodating and answered all questions and concerns Dr Walrath always gave me all the time and care I needed and of course he is an excellent surgeon. I will highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. I am very pleased with the result of my surgery. Thank you Dr. Walrath and staff.
The surgery performed by Dr. Walrath exceeded my expections. My periphal vision as well as upper vision has improved significantly. I would highly recommend him.
Likelihood of recommending Dr. Walrath to family and friends is 4.895105 out of 5
