When I experienced a sudden problem with a growth on my eye lid, I was able to quickly get an appointment with Dr. Santos. He diagnosed my problem and did immediate surgery in his office. His calm and supportive manner helped me through this unexpected surgery. My eye healed completely in less than two weeks. At my follow-up visit I again received timely and courteous care from Dr. Santos. I would not hesitate to return to him if another problem with my eyes presented itself.

My entire experience could not have been more professional. Dr. Santos, the surgery center and all of the staff functioned like a fine tuned machine to make my surgery experience from start to finish far above anything I could have imagined.

I am thrilled with the outcome of the blepharoplasty that Dr. Santos performed on my eyelids. I had minimal pain and surprisingly little bruising or swelling. He has a great bedside manner and gives excellent explanation of condition, procedure and expectations for outcome. I highly recommend Dr. Santos for this procedure!!!

I am 70 years old came in for a brow lift after cataract surgery. Procedure went smoothly, DR. Santos is an excellent MD. Very knowledgeable, friendly, explains what he is going to do and proceeds with excellent service. I was so surprised to see the before and after photos and what a big difference it made, I no longer look tired, no longer have brows resting on my eyelids. I would highly recommend Dr. Byron A. Santos. I want to thank Dr. Santos and his staff for the professional way this procedure was done, with very little discomfort. Wahkontah Little Crow
