I am so grateful to Dr Silkiss ... many months after my successful surgery with her, I was vacationing in Puerto Rico. On the last night of my stay, I took a fall - missing a step in a step down dining room of a family member. My eye lid was gashed from my eye glasses when I fell. It was a Sunday evening. It was a holiday weekend (Memorial day). My flight home was scheduled for 10 hours later. I had to decide whether to go to ER in San Juan and reschedule my flight for two days later (only available flight). I phoned Dr Silkiss office - delighted that there was a cell phone for her offered at the end of the message. I called. She answered ... on a Sunday Holiday ... from a former patient. She had me send her a photo of the injured eye. We spoke and texted. She advised my options including a colleague I could contact in San Juan if I decided to stay. She was calm and clear in the options she offered me. She was reassuring that I could continue on my flight home and she would see me in her office the next morning if I wished. She reassured me that she could do stitches, if necessary, even after the 24 hour window that others said I couldn't do. She had a wonderful, clear, calm manner with me... whether she actually remembered me or not ... On her advice I was able to have my partner clean up the wound and apply liquid bandage and a butterfly so I could get home asap .. ore than 114 hour trip. She saw me the next morning as offered. My eye is doing well and I am very appreciative that there is such a nice and caring and accessible human being in this very competent, efficient, and busy doctor. thank you Dr Silkiss!

Dr. Silkiss goes out of her way to take care of her patients and make sure the family is well informed and comfortable with the treatment they are receiving! She goes above and beyond to make sure we are comfortable and understand what's going on. We are so lucky to have found her and are thankful for her dedication and skill.

My particular condition has been hard to treat and is accompanied by several complicating issues. I got a referral to Dr Silkiss and am so delighted with the outcome. She is intelligent, compassionate, and enormously skilled.

Dr. Silkiss is amazing! She is brilliant, caring and a talented,artistic surgeon. She always has her patients well being as her priority. I would highly recommend her to anyone that wants the absolute BEST oculoplastic surgeon!

I had been under the care of an opthalmologist for extreme dry eyes for over 15 yrs. I had used Restasis and eye drops which did not help. I was very miserable with pain as soon as I opened my eyes and could not watch TV or read books. My primary care MD, Dr. Mary Sears sent me to Dr. Silkiss and assured me that she is the best for dry eyes. Dr Silkiss put plugs in my tear ducts and it was like magic... pain gone and my eyes are producing tears again. Dr. Silkiss is a wonderful and compassionate physician. She changed the quality of my life and I highly recommend her. I owe her a great deal. Thank you Dr. Silkiss.

Thoughtful and extremely smart. Beautiful surgery!

Quite obvious, Dr. Silkiss is a very skilled and dedicated surgeon. I like her “get right to the point” attitude. If you have questions, she answers; no nonsense! Dr. Silkiss asked my husband if he had any questions; then she gave him his post surgery orders: Buy 1 dozen peach colored roses, very soothing & therapeutic! Dr. Silkiss, I think he forgot! Too caught up in his nursing duties!!

Thanks to Dr. Silkiss, I look FANTASTIC. I look 10 years younger and thinner not to mention what this surgery has done for my self esteem and confidence. I have received numerous compliments. Dr. Silkiss, Debra, and staff were very attentive, patiently answered my questions and eased my pre-surgery anxieties Overall, they were great!!! Can't recommend them highly enough.

Dr Silkiss is the best, my eyelids look great, virtually no scarring 4 months later. Her professionalism, expertise, and artistry are unparalleled.

Dr. Silkiss is very expert. I haven't meet another specialist as skilled and knowledgeable. She was recommended to me years ago by another extraordinary eye doctor. A family member sees her also.
