My experience with Dr. Amato and her staff was absolutely the best . I tried this procedure 3 times with two different surgeons prior to my visit with Dr. Amato. If you are considering this type of procedure Dr. Amato his hands down the best . I wish i would have made this my first choice. Thanks…

“Outstanding Ophthalmologist and Support Team”

I was referred to Dr. Amato by my regular eye doctor who had identified an abnormal condition under my eyelid. From the making of my first appointment, to the diagnosis of the condition, excision of tissue for a biopsy, and post biopsy follow up, all of my treatment was absolutely first class. I could not be more pleased with the communication by everyone on staff. Dr. Amato explained every step in the procedure and answered all of my questions. She gave me great advice on caring for my eyes.

“My experience with Dr. Amato was very good.”

Dr, Amato had done surgery on my lower eye lids before this surgery so I already trusted her to do this surgery. I would recommend her to anyone and already have to friends. She explains the surgery and tells you what to expect. She also follows up with you after surgery and answers any questions you might have. I am very pleased with the way my eyes look.

“Top-Notch Doctor, Staff and Practice!”

Dr. Amato is amazing! I met with her to discuss my hooded eyes, which caused vision issues, headaches & neck pain. Dr. Amato listened with genuine interest and understood my concerns. She explained how surgery could help me and what to expect from it.

Surgery day exceeded my expectations; It was a breeze, really!

I had an easy recovery, excellent and thorough aftercare and couldn't be more pleased with the results. All issues resolved AND I look much younger! So glad I found her.

“Great Experience with Dr. Amato”

I'm so thankful I came to Dr. Amato for a cyst that had been bothering me on my eyelid. Dr. Amato helped me to feel comfortable about my procedure, and spent plenty of time helping me understand the surgery as well as my results. I couldn't be happier with the results!

“Excellent doctor and staff”

I had cosmetic eye surgery and a forehead lift that Dr. Amato performed and am overjoyed with the results! Dr. Amato and her staff are knowledgeable, professional, caring and kind. Everyone always made me feel comfortable and at ease and they were and still are available to answer any questions and concerns that I have. I highly recommend Dr. Amato and would have her do surgery on me again.
