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.

Had lowers revised

I had my lower lids revised by Dr. Sires March 2022. I consulted with several surgeons about revising the uppers and was told unfortunately more surgery would be unlikely to resolve the issues creating the folds in the inner corners. I’ve had several DM conversations with other patients of Dr Tarbet’s. Lots of rough recoveries.

I really appreciate you taking the time to post your experience. It means a lot to us as a clinic to have feedback. Just to let you know that my surgical coordinator, Nancy is a Certified Medical Assistant with 40 years of experience. She does prefer to do all the scheduling and refer medical questions to our certified ophthalmic technician/MA. You are in good hands with them. I'm happy to see you posting your healing!


Nearly three years later!

While there was much improvement, I don't like the way the lower lids settled. It took nearly six months to totally heal which is not typical. Both lids are a bit lower than they were, which I don't like, and the left is lower than the right. I have a canthoplasty planned to correct!

It's more obvious when I'm not smiling. Smiling lifts them up. :)

The saga continues

The lower lids are just not cooperating. Deep dark circles with a sunken appearance now. Looks irritated and red now, possibly because I took the photo just after massaging them. Also now have little bumps along the lower right incision line.

Upper lids continue to improve - the end of the incisions closest to the inner part of the eye are still a little swollen and I can't wait til they are 100% gone. The lowers seem to get worse. Hoping for either an improvement or a future solution!

Getting my eyebrows done tomorrow which I hope helps how I feel about it.

How's everyone else doing?

Pros: Love Dr Tarbet’s personality, knowing she’s a prof at UW, her sense of aethetics, and the great attitude and knowledge of her clinical staff. Beautiful office. I’m still waiting to heal up completely but I can tell she had a sense of how reveal the beauty of my eyes rather than manipulate them into something too different. But I can’t give a full five stars because I didn’t receive sufficient post-op information to plan properly for the healing process, A surgery coordinator sent me the post-op instructions as an attachment when I scheduled surgery. I emailed back asking medical questions not realizing the coordinator was not medical staff. I was told by Dr. Tarbet was not available for in-person post-op examinations until two months after surgery, though earlier appointments could be made with the ophthalmology tech. By being persistent I was able to see her after 4 weeks, for treatment on scars that were forming. I'm looking forward to good results once all this healing is behind me!
