I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Rizzuto. My eyelids were almost completely closed. Dr. Rizzuto explained to me that the muscles in my eyelids weren't working. I wasn't expecting to hear that and felt very discouraged. I went for my bilateral surgery not feeling optimistic at all. Before my surgery he was comforting and promised he would raise the eyelids as much as he could, but I would have to be able to close my eyes. I went into surgery thinking my eyes are not going to open enough for me to see clearly. Dr. Rizzuto did an amazing job. My eyes are open!! I was expecting bruising. There was none. He is a great surgeon with exceptional bedside manner. I feel good about how I look now. I highly recommend Dr. Rizzuto for his honesty and professionalism as a surgeon.
