• A total focus on the delivery of high-quality eyelid surgery
Our practice is entirely devoted to primary and revisional cosmetic surgery on the adult eyelid. There is no higher level of specialization. We don't perform rhinoplasty or liposuction, face lift or tummy tucks. We do eyelid surgery and only eyelid surgery.
• A way of working where outstanding outcomes are common
Advanced procedures don't work if they're not performed skillfully. We know what to do and exactly how to do it. We don't need to practice on you, and we don't need to consult a textbook before starting your operation.
• Training that sets us apart from most other cosmetic surgeons
Not only is Dr. Meronk a Board-Certified ophthalmologist, but he is also one of less than five hundred surgeons worldwide to have completed a full fellowship devoted entirely to cosmetic and corrective eyelid surgery. Since the eyelids both protect the eyes and nurture the vision, many patients feel more comfortable knowing that their surgeon is not only uniquely trained in the subspecialty of eyelid surgery but is also very knowledgeable about the eyes.
• An uncommon understanding of eyelid structure and function
Having performed well over 20,000 cosmetic and corrective procedures on the eyelids has allowed Dr. Meronk to amass the knowledge, insight, and judgment necessary to thoroughly appreciate the nuances and subtleties of eyelid function. Be assured that we understand all about the eyelids, top to bottom and inside and out.
• A sense of aesthetics honed by over two decades of experience
We appreciate that a good result means much more than still being able to close your eyes. Whether a problem is routine or extremely complex, we analyze every case in detail and do not perform stock operations. We are known for achieving natural-appearing results that stress elegance over glamour.
• A strong patient education program
We devote a great deal of effort educating our patients, both before and during their consultations and before and after any surgery. We are unaware of any practitioners in our field who provide a higher level of explanation needed for a patient to make an informed decision.
• A collaborative effort
The service we offer requires a certain type of provider, someone attuned to the finest of details, someone who is thorough yet gentle. A surgeon alone cannot supply your total care. We are proud of our staff of uniquely skilled individuals, people who are not only intelligent and observant but courteous and helpful.
• A pleasant environment
Our office is less like a clinic and more like a boutique. We cater to one patient at a time in a relaxed setting where you will never encounter a crowded waiting room. While you are with us, our attention is devoted entirely to you rather than to you and a dozen other patients seeking wrinkle treatments. Our consultations are detailed, highly individualized, unhurried, and honest.
• No pressure to do more
While we compete on the basis of quality rather than price, we control your costs by not trying to sell you on added procedures you don't want or may not even need.
• No surprise surgicenter or hospital add-on charges
Our office operating room is designed for cosmetic eyelid surgery alone and thus avoids the high-overhead of multispecialty surgicenters or full-service hospitals. Pricing is all upfront with no hidden add-on charges such as separate bills for anesthesia, supplies, medications, and so on.
• We use only the best
From surgical supplies to surgical techniques, we don't cut corners.
• We aim to please
Once we have helped our patients, we usually never see them again. For us to remain in practice, then, requires a constant flow of new faces into our office. Where do these people come from? From throughout California but commonly from other states and sometimes other countries. Why do they come to us when they can more conveniently go elsewhere? Because of our reputation with other surgeons and former patients for treating our clientele with respect and providing thoughtful high-quality care.
