Stephen Laquis, MD

I can not say enough good things about Dr Laquis. He has a wonderful personality and is very caring. I has a pseudo tumor behind my eye he operated on. Naturally we tend to think the worst and waiting is just torture. Dr. Laquis himself called me the same day with my test results. He operated on my eye and I can't even see the scar. He is just the best. I would not hesitate to recommend him. I also want to note- his staff are all so professional and kind. It was a very nice relaxing environment and I just knew I was in good hands. I can't thank them enough.

Over the last several years I had noticed that the skin on my eyelids had become very saggy and I looked tired . Last spring I had my eyes tested for a new prescription and I asked the doctor if he thought I was a candidate for upper eyelid surgery, he didn't hesitate when he said "defiantly". So the process of finding the right doctor started, and it was a process. I meet with three different doctors, even scheduled to have the procedure done with one of them. Until I had my final consult with the doc 2 weeks before the scheduled date, and I was told if I wanted to see a difference after my surgery than I shouldn't even bother!! WHAT? Needless to say I cancelled my surgery . That's when I was recommend to Dr.Stephen Laquis. I could not be happier with my new youthful eyes, friends and work associates can't believe how great I look from this procedure. I Highly Recommend this doctor.

Well I was seeking help because I was born with ptosis in my left eye. So I was referred to a p.s and eye specialist by the name of steven laquise in fortmyer florida...so far the skin is still hanging and my eye seems smaller then before the surgery I don't know wat to do its horrible and very noticeable..I'm so depressed everyday..I had it done on dec4 2012 and still it has got worst.. Updated on 27 Jan 2013: Well realself ...so far the color has changed to normal but I've been told that I hike my brow up so it makes it hard for it not to seem lazy so it was suggested to get botox to relax the brow for a while...any other doctors who agree... and will that make my eye any smaller???

I had upper and lower eyelid surgery. Upper covered by insurance and lower was an additional 3k.  I had surgery on Friday. Went home and slept most of that day. Woke up the next day and had extreme pain on the right side of my face. It was swollen from my jaw to my head. I then started to have fever and chills. I immediately called him, he told me I must have an infected tooth or ear infection. Took Tylenol and after taking the Tylenol my fever was 103. He told me not to go to the ER. He would see me in the office Monday morning. I went to the ER and was admitted in less than 15 minutes.  I was septic. The ER doc immediately called him and told him what was going on. He called standing next to me. This doctor is on staff for the hospital and did not show up until Wednesday. The ER doctor called him, I called his office and notified them, I called back and canceled my follow up and again notified them.  When he showed up on Wednesday he said " oh you should have called me" and acted like he knew nothing. He then had the nurse get him supplies and had me lay back in bed pull my eyelid down and he used a scalpel and made an incision for the infection to come out. I'm lucky it didn't get worse.  I was extremely disappointed, I waited a long time for his office to accept my insurance and he came highly recommended. But very disappointed and unprofessional the way he handled post-op complications.
