Dr. Bearden was recommended to me by my opthalmologist, Dr. Kish. I needed my eye lids lifted as my vision was being affected and I couldn't open them when I awakened . Dr. Bearden explained my options and I decided to have the surgery 3 weeks ago. He explained everything to me beforehand, his surgical staff was totally caring, and the surgery was relatively painless. Almost immediately, I could see an improvement. I have already recommended Dr. Bearden to several friends who have complemented me on my appearance.

Dr. Bearden performed blepharoplasty for me 6 years ago and my husband's recently. We both were very satified with the results. His bedside manner is professional and comforting. We never felt rushed about our questions. He was thorough and meticulous about his "art." Follow-up after surgery was appreciated. Highly recommend him.

I really appreciate Dr. Bearden's up-front approach that wasn't condescending or selling. During the office visit, he was informative and had a good sense of humor all while talking us through what to expect from surgery. He seems to know his stuff and gladly answered ALL of our questions which gave us a lot of comfort. I'm thankful my friends recommended me to him and plan to schedule surgery for next month.

Dr. Bearden was very professional and caring during my visits about a droopy eyelid which he recognized as something more serious and his staff were also very nice and efficient. I highly recommend Dr. Bearden!

Dr. Bearden was very short and insouciant. However, the nurse that collected my med history was really nice and caring.

Dr. Bearden is a no nonsense type. Friendly, yet not overly so. He is quite fast, thorough, and gets the job done without a lot of nonsense. I needed a chalazion removed from my eyelid. I was in and out in 20 minutes. His ophthalmic assistant was GREAT. I would definitely go to him again and highly recommend him.
