Albert SYDNEY Cytryn's Online Review Report Card

I had the pleasure of being referred to Dr. Cytryn about 18 months ago regarding a birth defect that included a 7th nerve palsy in my right eye. He conducted orbital reconstruction and eye lid improvements to align both of my eyes in a symmetrical way His patience and enthusiasm bringing me through the process for each surgery was a welcome and most needed breath of fresh air. He has done wonderful work and I thank him so much for everything he did for me over the course of 4 surgeries We share a love for golf and ot get like more of a personal relationship instead of a doctor/patient He is a great doctor and recommend him to everyone. Thanks again

Very pleased w Dr Cytryn and the entire staff at his office and eye surgery center. Recent surgery went well, outstanding care each step of the way.

Dr. cytryn did a good job!

In September, 2021, I had 4 eyelid blepharoplasties and bilateral upper eyelid ptosis repair by Dr. Al Cytryn. It was the worst surgical experience of my life and a nightmare for many months. Dr. Cytryn used highly inflammatory catgut sutures for most of my surgery instead of non inflammatory sutures. The inflammation was so severe it required three courses of oral prednisone and five months of topical steroids. I am left with disfiguring, elevated, thickened scars in my eyelids. At two months post surgery, I was unable to keep my eyes open past two pm. He removed too much skin in my upper eyelids and my eyes will no longer close completely. At night, I have to put ointment in my eyes and tape my eyelids shut to prevent exposure damage to my corneas with possible loss of vision. I am left with asymmetrical eyelid folds in my upper eyelids. I am under the care of another surgeon who is planning surgery to reduce the exposure. I could not in good conscience recommend Dr. Cytryn.

I would not recommend Dr. Cytryn. I had a stubborn chalazion surgically removed by him about a year ago and he permanently deformed my eyelid. I’m now looking into surgical reconstructive surgeries, which will be insanely expensive. 0/10.

I was recommended by my retina doctor to visit him for a removal of a little bit of fat build up under my right eyelid. He began to push me into getting surgery that i did not want on both upper eyelids. He was not very specific on what he was going to do, but he was certain that he was going to "fix" the symmetry of my eyes. I did not ask for that nor did I even come in for that originally. He took it upon himself to do that surgery, after he was done I asked him what he had done specifically and he was giving me vague answers while also avoiding the question. While he did end up getting rid of the fat build up under my eyelid, he still ended up cutting muscles, tendons and along with skin on my upper eyelids which were unnecessary. This permanently damaged my upper eyelids, now I cannot close them completely when I blink and I cannot properly fall asleep because when I try they open up. Even after 2 reconstruction surgeries to fix what he messed up I still cannot live a normal life with my eyelids. It has been two years and I still am suffering with what he did to me. I strongly do not recommend him, please take it from my experience he is not someone that you want to trust.

In 2019, I had both upper and lower blepharoplasty by Dr. Cytryn. Dr.Cytyrn assured me that he knew what he was doing and that it would be an easy and simple procedure. He made the statement that I would also love his work, which gained my confidents. Once the procedure was over, I looked at the stiches he made across my eyes. I was devastated because I knew I had big problems! I was so dissatisfied with Dr. Cytryn surgical skills. The stitches he made across my eyes were not precise and looked like railroad tracks. He cut all the up to my eyebrows. I immediately questioned Dr. Cytryn about why the stitches looked so sloppy? He responded by telling me it was from the swelling. I was told that too much fat had been taken out, and too much skin was cut. Dr. Cytryn removed too much fat and cut away too much skin from my upper eyelids. The asymmetry in my L” and R’ eye are both different, both lower drooping eye (ptosis) which I’m seeking find another surgeon to fix it.

For several years I was tormented with very dry eyes and no one could help me until I got to the Dr. Cytryn’s office. He brilliantly performed Bilateral eyelid Canaliculoplasty. And now all my problems with dryness are gone!!! I turned to the doctor for the second time since my eyes were with fatigue syndrome; I constantly wanted to open my eyes wider or hold my eyelids with my hands. Brilliant results!!!! I look much younger. And I get a lot of compliments. Doctor Cytryn is a wonderful and honest professional. He is impeccable in his diagnosis and very accurate in work. His team is distinguished by efficiency and friendliness. Thanks a lot! Katya.

Dr. Cytryn is an artist. He has removed a suspicious lesion right under my left eye lid. That was 2 weeks ago. The area is completely healed with no visible sign of anything. Dr. Cytryn is a surgeon's surgeon!
