“Four Years Post Op....still Happy - La Jolla, CA”

Eyelid Surgery

"The Doctor did a good job with the surgery. No real bedside manner, but that's not why I go to a particular doctor. Aside from a couple of post-op visits, there's never been any follow up. Maybe that's because I didn't really have any problems, other than the slight scarring."

“Perfect Choice - La Jolla, CA”

"Professional, thorough, caring. The minute I met Dr. David's staff I knew I was in the right place. There was no pressure, no attempts to add more services. I was given lots of options. I met Dr. David and was impressed with his professionalism and thorough evaluation. He spent as much time with me as needed to answer all my questions. The doctor called me at home after the treatments and provided excellent follow-up. I would highly recommend Dr. David and his staff."
