Repaired my Toddler's Eyelid to Ensure a Better Future for Her
Repaired my Toddler's Eyelid to Ensure a Better Future for Her
My child's initial stitches (done at an ER) left her with a divot in her scar and misaligned eyebrow. I had doubts it would close and heal correctly so I had a consultation with Dr. Ross to get another opinion.
-My doubts were not only confirmed but Dr. Ross was straightforward about lasting effects of a scar like that as her facial muscles develop when she grows up. I'm thankful for his knowledge in this area as I wouldn't have known and her pediatrician didn't know this either.
-Dr. Ross talked our family over how he would repair her laceration scar. I usually get nervous over all things medical, moreso for my children, but his kind demeanor, competence, and experience with kids helped put my nervousness to rest as he answered my questions with patience. He even included details I didn't think to ask which I found very helpful. His staff was so kind, helpful, and available. I knew she was in good hands and the procedure was a success. The 'scar divot' is closed in and it's already healing much better since the repair.
