Rabinowitz Michael P MD

I went in for a consultation for ptosis(drooping eyelid.) Dr. Rabinowitz examined me and then used drops to show me what my eye would look like should I choose to have surgery. This also confirmed the condition.

In order for insurance to cover the surgery, a few tests are necessary. His office staff was kind enough to allow me to complete the tests the same day. They told me it would take a few weeks to hear back from my insurance company. In precisely three weeks, they called me to say it was approved and scheduled my surgery. My surgery was scheduled a few weeks later.

Dr. Rabinowitz gave me the option of general or local anesthesia based on my age and level of my ptosis. I chose to have local anesthesia. I have to admit that I was a bit nervous, but he and his staff quickly put my mind at ease. My surgery began with topical anesthesia and then an injection on the outside of my lid. This was the worst part and felt no worse than a bee sting. It took about 15 minutes for my eye to become numb. Then, he lifted my eyelid to numb the inner lid. By this time, I could barely feel anything. Next, he covered my eyeball with a dark contact lens to protect the eyeball. The actual procedure to repair the eyelid took about 25 minutes. Finally, I was given an ice pack to help control swelling. The entire procedure lasted about an hour.

I was told to expect swelling, bruising, blurriness and minor irritation. I did experience blurriness for about a week and irritation for a few days, but I did not have any swelling or bruising. I returned to work 5 days later. At my follow up appointment, my eye was perfect, but other eye was drooping a bit. Dr. Rabinowitz told me it was normal and would balance out in a few weeks. He was absolutely right and now they are perfect. I really couldn't be happier with the results.

Dr. Rabinowitz and his staff are sensational. His bedside manner is very comforting, and the front desk is friendly and efficient. Such a great experience!

What a wonderful experience I had with Dr Rabinowitz He is what you want in a surgeon. Professional, skilled, thorough and a nice bedside manner. I can't believe the outcome - fast healing and no scar. I would recommend to anyone that requires any procedure involving the eye

Dr. Rabinowitz operated on my eyes February 11, 2016 which is over 3 years ago. I had ptosis (drooping of the upper eyelids) in both eyes and also underneath the eyes (bags) which he surgically corrected. I can’t thank him enough for changing my life and making me appear 10 years younger. He is an excellent surgeon and I recommend him very highly. Thank you Dr. Rabinowitz. Tony Vela

Where do I begin. I was diagnosed with thyroid eye disease and it changed the way my entire face looked. I walked around in public with sunglasses on for almost two years. It broke me mentally. Then came Dr. Rabinowitz. He performed decompression surgery on my eyes and the results are amazing. I could never thank him enough for giving me my face back.
