Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Surgical repair - lower eyelid following MOHs surg
Dr. Pharo is very professional and super well qualified. The MOHs surgeon removed a portion of lower eyelid (cancer) about the size of a dime. Dr Pharo closed that surgery the next day and now after 40 days, it is barely noticeable. I'm really pleased. He was very thorough in his pre-surgery explanation and very caring to be sure that I understood and totally agreed to the procedure. I'm the guy that wants to know every gory detail !!

Very Talented and Capable Surgeon
Over five weeks ago, Dr. Pharo performed a precise blepharoplasty of my drooping upper eye lids, taking away a half inch of skin. I am well pleased. The results are perfectly symmetrical and I am well on the road to complete recovery. You can have the utmost confidence and trust in him. He's a very talented and capable surgeon

Dr. Pharo performed a correction for ptosis including an endoscopic brow lift. Prior to surgery my peripheral vision was substantially limited. Post surgery my peripheral vision is 100% improved. Dr. Pharo is a patient, caring, highly skilled surgeon.

Excellent eyelid surgeon
I was referred to Dr Pharo’s office by my optometrist for a suspicious spot on my lower eyelid. Dr Pharo did a biopsy which showed squamous cells. Dr Pharo referred me to a mohs surgeon for removal. I then went back to Dr Pharo the next day to rebuild the eyelid, which involved a graft from my other upper eyelid. During this entire process, Dr Pharo explained everything and answered all of my questions. I felt very comfortable and reassured that I was in good hands. His office staff is very friendly and took good care of me, as well. I highly recommend Dr Pharo!
