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.

Awesome experience
Dr. Long performed a lower blepharplasty at Marietta Eye Clinic a month ago. He is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to answer my questions before and after the surgery. The overall experience exceeded my expectations. Thrilled with my results! Highly recommend!!!

My eyelids were drooping, started to affect my driving. When coming to the office I really appreciated how professional but friendly everyone was including Dr. Long.I did have surgery and everything went well. My eyes are the way they use to be and I couldn’t be more happy with the results.

Amazing Difference
My eyes had drooped for a long time and were interfering with my vision. Dr Long repaired. Friends noted the difference — one said she was amazed at the difference. I can see again.

Dr Long and his entire staff made you feel at ease and comfortable before during and after surgery as well as at pre and post op appointments. He is extremely confident, and skilled in his abilities. I would not hesitate in the least! He does beautiful work and I can see so much better!

Perfect Encounter
My encounter with Dr Long was exceptional. His bedside manner was perfect . Explained everything he was gonna do, he reassured me that he wouldn’t take long and he knew I was in a very uncomfortable situation with the flipping back of my eyelid. His assistant who was with him was very helpful and kind . I would give Dr. Long an 11 out of 10 for his exceptional bedside manner and keeping me at ease during the procedure. Thank you Dr. Long and your assistant for a job well done, and my eye looks perfect as opposed to what it looks like when you first met me. Cathy Smith

Outstanding, natural-looking results
I’m incredibly pleased with the results of my upper blepharoplasty by Dr. Long. My field of vision is much improved and as a bonus I have a refreshed, natural appearance to accompany the return of my eyelids. The doctor called to check on me after the surgery and the staff at the office and surgery center is kind and compassionate.

I had lost some vision and didn't realize it.
My regular eye doctor inform me that I maybe a good candidate for blepharoplasty surgery. I had never heard of this before, so the first thing I did was research what it was and what all was involved. I then mentioned it to a couple of friends and they had either had it themselves or knew someone that had. One acquaintance suggested Dr Long, so I made the appointment for the consultation and he immediately put me at ease, with his detailed explanation and experience with the procedure. I was not aware that I had lost so much of my peripheral vision, this procedure has brought that vision back! Dr. Long's surgical team is beyond impressive. Needless to say I was really nervous about my eyes being cut on, but their kind, caring, professionalism helped eliminate any apprehension I had. I am so glad I went ahead and had this done, I am a little over a month post surgery and all is great. Dr Long even called me himself the afternoon after surgery, that kind of caring is rare!

Extremely pleased!
I was extremely pleased with the results of my cosmetic injectables. Dr. Long is a skilled plastic surgeon of the eye and orbital area. I can definitely tell the difference between having him do the injections versus the random spa or clinic that I used to visit. If you are looking for natural and aesthetically pleasing results every time then Dr. Long is your guy!

It was my understanding that I was going in for a free consultation prior to possible elective surgery. I ended up not having the surgery but 9 months later was contacted by a collection agency for $140 for the office visit. I am very disappointed that, unlike other doctors I saw to discuss this surgery, this visit was not actually a free consultation. Nor was the office willing to work with me on this charge.

My experience with Dr. Byron Long was outstanding! I met him for the first time for a consultation on my drooping eyelids, which were starting to impair my vision. He immediately came across as very caring and professional. He made feel at ease from the start and I immediately felt that I would be in good hands with Dr. Long. His office staff were also exemplary and extremely helpful with not only the scheduling process for the surgery, but also for the surgery check in process and subsequent follow-ups. The surgery went very smooth. That evening, after the surgery, Dr. Long called me to check on me and to make sure everything was going well and that I was not encountering any unusual pain or symptoms. In the last 30 years, I can't remember any surgeon calling me directly to check on me! He is an amazing surgeon with a bedside manner that is extremely rare today. My eyes look amazing and I couldn't be happier!
