Dr. Rona Zel Silkiss, MD

Dr. Silkiss is one of the most knowledgeable and skillful ophthalmic plastic surgeons in the Bay Area. Kind, empathic and gentle, she brings 30 years of expertise to her light touch surgery. Her staff is wonderful. Dr. Silkiss genuinely cares about her patients and their outcomes. Highly recommend!

Dr. Silkiss did both my upper and lower blepharoplasty and the results even just 3 days post-surgery are truly incredible! During my initial consultation appointment, Dr. Silkiss listened carefully, answered all my questions and really took the time to explain the procedures and what I could expect. It was also very convenient as she has multiple office and surgery locations. I didn’t have to travel far or deal with traffic. The surgery center was also exceptional from the Anesthesiologist to the wonderful surgical RNs and office staff. Surgery with Dr. Silkiss has taken years off my appearance and I could not be more grateful. If you are considering eye surgery I highly recommend Dr. Silkiss! I’m so glad after much research and consideration I chose her as my surgeon. Thank you Silkiss Eye Surgery!

Quite obvious, Dr. Silkiss is a very skilled and dedicated surgeon. I like her “get right to the point” attitude. If you have questions, she answers; no nonsense! Dr. Silkiss asked my husband if he had any questions; then she gave him his post surgery orders: Buy 1 dozen peach colored roses, very soothing & therapeutic! Dr. Silkiss, I think he forgot! Too caught up in his nursing duties!!

she came in late and barely wanted to speak. i had to initiate the conversation! wow. I think she's prejudice. She immediately made her mind up about me in a few minutes. Either she don't like Blacks (females) or she's anti-medicare. I was only in the app. with her more than 5 minutes. She took a tool to measure my eye socket and I screamed. It was the hardest I've ever felt before. My eye has been worse every since. I regret ever meeting her period.

She immediately rejected me. Came in running late from surgery. Sat in front of pretty silent. I had to initiate the conversation. She got her tool, measured my eye socket SO HARD... I light weight screamed! My eye has been feeling worst ever since. All within around 5 minutes.. either she doesn't like black female's and/or Medicare. :+(

I am so grateful to Dr Silkiss ... many months after my successful surgery with her, I was vacationing in Puerto Rico. On the last night of my stay, I took a fall - missing a step in a step down dining room of a family member. My eye lid was gashed from my eye glasses when I fell. It was a Sunday evening. It was a holiday weekend (Memorial day). My flight home was scheduled for 10 hours later. I had to decide whether to go to ER in San Juan and reschedule my flight for two days later (only available flight). I phoned Dr Silkiss office - delighted that there was a cell phone for her offered at the end of the message. I called. She answered ... on a Sunday Holiday ... from a former patient. She had me send her a photo of the injured eye. We spoke and texted. She advised my options including a colleague I could contact in San Juan if I decided to stay. She was calm and clear in the options she offered me. She was reassuring that I could continue on my flight home and she would see me in… her office the next morning if I wished. She reassured me that she could do stitches, if necessary, even after the 24 hour window that others said I couldn't do. She had a wonderful, clear, calm manner with me... whether she actually remembered me or not ... On her advice I was able to have my partner clean up the wound and apply liquid bandage and a butterfly so I could get home asap .. ore than 114 hour trip. She saw me the next morning as offered. My eye is doing well and I am very appreciative that there is such a nice and caring and accessible human being in this very competent, efficient, and busy doctor. thank you Dr Silkiss!

Thoughtful and extremely smart. Beautiful surgery!
