I hope that whoever reads this review, whether it be Dr. Miranda`s staff or potential new patients, knows that I`m not a bitter or vindictive person. I just want to let other potential patients know

I saw the doctor for a reconstructive issue, not something cosmetic. He was running late and the first thing he did was sincerely apologize to me when he came into the consult room. He is a good listener, very courteous, did not talk down to me, offered me several options and took his time answering all of my questions and addressing my concerns. The staff was polite, attentive and accommodating. My only "criticism" is that the space needs some art work and bigger coffee tables in the waiting room!

Had Dr. Miranda as the on call doctor for CPMC ER for a laceration above the eye sustained while playing basketball last fall. ER experience was professional and he did a good job on the eye.Unfortunately that is where the good experience ended. Found out afterwards that he was an out of network doctor (How did this happen and why was I not told this when I asked at CPMC that this would be covered?), and after several rounds with insurance was denied coverage.DOUBLE insult that Dr. Miranda's bill had multiple double charges, and grossly over inflated charges for a 30 minute procedure (bill was over $5,000) which was then sent to collections while I was still in process with insurance and state of CA. Blue Shield list price is $1500 for the same procedure.Ended up paying to collections as Dr. Miranda's office would not help on any fronts other than to punt me back to my insurance carrier (which they did not recognize or belong to). Even though several of the charges were clearly doubled and erroneous.Avoid at all costs. Medical care is painful enough without being extorted on the back side.

 |  Worst dr. in the Bay Area  |  show details
Jun 25th, 2010

Dr. Miranda is one of the worst plastic surgeon in the Bay Area. He is so unexperienced (do not trust his web site) and uses his patients as guinea pigs. I got sucked in when I read about his teachings in Asia on his site and all....but I regret I let him perform plastic surgery on me. One of my regrets in life. So, do yourself a favor and avoid this dr. quack.

I chose to have a bilateral upper lid blepharoplasty (upper eyelid surgery) from Dr. Edward Miranda in Sep. 2008. I chose him as he represented himself as an expert eyelid surgeon, specializing in Asian eyelids. At the consultation, he answered all of my questions, i.e. possible side-effects, the possibility of achieving my desired look, etc. Since I already had double-eyelids, he said this would be a very simple procedure; take out the excessive fat and some skin. Simple, he said. Well, here are what's been happening to me since the post-op: 1) lagophthalmos of the right eye (inability to close the eye) 2) spam of the obicularis oris muscle, causing pain around the eye socket and head 3) asymmetry of the eyes; my right eye looks much smaller because the location of the crease so much inferior when compared to the Left 4) left over fat deposit on the right eye 5) can't close my eyes without my eyelids and eyeballs shaking uncontrollably. What's the worst part? After spending $$ (surgery seeing specialists after the surgery), my eyes no longer match. I still get makeup residue on my upper eyelids. Just lots of pain (both emotionally & physically). He doesn't seem to care. I called to cancel the follow-up appointment because I was in too much pain. He never called to inquire about my well being. *AVOID* this doctor. Don't go through what I'm going through...
