Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Blepharoplasty at Its Finest!
I am happy with my results. My insurance company made this more of a task for me that I feel it ever should have been. This is not the office's fault, however I will give my quick run down....
I was told by Aetna, that I needed to see one of there providers, of which two names were given. I went to one in Laguna Beach they tried to up-sell like and tell me how I should get these other procedures done. I reviewed their work and asked the simple question of how many belphs had they done. They could not answer and the pictures they had we obviously touched up. They claimed it was lighting.....
I shopped around a bit and in Newport there is a lot to select from. Some of these guys state appointments months out and claimed it to be just that busy....come to find out some of these guys are not full time.
So I went to Dr. Bunkis -- who is out of my network, but had really good pictures on his site. I asked him how many he did and had a full catalog of eyes, plus at-least two of his staffers. The results looked amazing. I considered the price difference from in network to out of network, then very quickly decided on Dr. Bunkis. Great guy, great personality, and a no BS personality. The answers were spot on, when I asked about what the Aetna Dr recommended, he quickly pointed out the flaws (ie feminizing the face ---as a guy NOT what I would want). I also asked about some other body work and he recommended a book by Ornish that gave some fixes via diet --- (actually he gave me his copy) --- It appears to work).
Back to the procedure -- All good the surgical center was next door --- they were nice, and professional, very comfortable. The Anesthesiologist was easy going. Everything went as described. All good.
Dr. Bunkis followed up over the weekend, gave me his cell phone number for any issues (of which I called and he answered). I was a bit nervous as after you do a bleph, you get a bit of distorted vision. Dr. Bunkis put my unease at rest. And here I am a few weeks later and my results look day and night better.
The follow ups were little wait and very easy going. Collette and Jo have been awesome in helping me process the Aetna PPO self claim papers. Really good guys.
Dr. Bunkis is very approachable and has an amazing story. I am very glad to have found him and am proud to give an endorsement of him to my friends.
What could have made this better.....Well the office was near perfect.....Aenta on the other hand - not so much......I see why so few would be in there network. I will also go so far as to say if you are looking in network, the cost savings is not that significant and I found value with going with someone I indubiously trust.
