Dr Rong went over everything again the morning of surgery.made me feel better about my surgery
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 3/24/2025
Dr. Andrew Rong is a rare and gifted doctor. The surgery he performed on me (lower blepharoplasty) was so skillfully done that I had no pain and just the slightest bruising. And the finished look is even better than I'd hoped for. He had the kindest and warmest manner when talking with me. What he did for me on the outside is remarkable. What he did for me on the inside is even more amazing. I had just experienced a hard time as a caregiver and was feeling that loss. He healed me inside and out and I honestly feel like he added years to my life. He is an artist in his work and a healer of the spirit.

He even personally called me the day following my surgery to see how I was doing and encouraged me to call If there were any questions. My surgery went smoothly, and just 9 days out my incisions are not noticeable and are healing really well. I am very pleased with my outcome and so thankful Dr Rong was my surgeon.
