Very happy with everything
from start to finish on my lower blepharoplasty .
Dr. Phelps and Maria are both wonderful and take
the time to answer truthfully all questions and
concerns you may have. Surgery not painful and
thrilled with my results. Dr. Phelps is direct and
does not misrepresent what one can expect. My
research definitely paid off and would HIGHLY
recommend Dr. Phelps....your eyes are too important
to trust to a general plastic surgeon versus the
best oculofacial plastic surgeon.

My upper eyelids were
sagging very badly. I had a blepharoplasty and my
brow lifted. The procedure was performed in the
office. I was surprised at how painless the recovery
was. I am so happy with the results of my procedure.
Dr. Phelps is a perfectionist, which is exactly who
you want working on your face.

So happy with my results!
Don’t know why I waited too long . The process from
beginning to end was nothing like what I expected,
it was painless and Dr . Phelps and Maria answered
every question and concern I had . I felt so
confident in this doctor after seeing so many
others and debating to travel to have this done by
top rated surgeons in the world . Trust me this
doctor is top and I was not disappointed with my
results!

Absolutely amazing experience
from start to wonderful and beautiful finish! Could
not be happier with the results! I look even better
than I had hoped and you truly cannot see any
evidence of the surgery other than the amazing
results. You can actually see my eyes when I smile!
The ONLY thing I would change is having the surgery
performed years ago with Dr. Phelps.
I located Dr. Phelps from extensive research and consulting with friends in the medical field on the absolute best for blepharoplasty. I then visited multiple surgeons before deciding on the practice. Dr. Phelps was the only surgeon who took a very close look at my eyes (!) and talked about eye health, not just the aesthetic results. I felt 100% comfortable knowing that not only was this his specialty, but that he and his amazing team were the absolute best. They did not disappoint!
I have always been self-conscious of my droopy eyelids. As I’ve gotten older, the droop got more pronounced and uneven. You could not even see my eyes when I smiled and could never tell if I was wearing eye make-up (which just ended up smeared if I wore it). Everyone commented on how tired I looked, even when I was well-rested. I had been thinking about getting the surgery for years and finally decided after finding Dr. Phelps that it was time and that he was the person I wanted to perform the surgery.
I had a bilateral upper blepharoplasty and internal browpexy to help the results last longer. I was conscious for the entire procedure which took about an hour, and I went home immediately after. I have never used contacts or had any corrective glasses (other than readers as I’ve gotten older), so was pretty uncomfortable with the idea of “things in my eyes” but Dr. Phelps and Maria talked me through the entire procedure and they could not have been more wonderful. I felt 100% comfortable in their care.
The method that he uses, a CO2 laser, was really incredible. It minimized the scarring and shortened my recovery time drastically from what I had anticipated before I talked with Dr. Phelps. The recovery was surprisingly fast. I iced as instructed, and limited salt and alcohol (at Thanksgiving no less), used the ointment for my very small stitches and really saw the difference right away. I was able to work almost immediately after surgery and even had zoom calls a few days later. I was only swollen for a week or so and the bruising went away with time and with arnica gel (talk to the team about their new products for post-surgery recovery….amazing!). One week after surgery, I had very little swelling and some limited bruising. Two and a half weeks after surgery, I was in New York and no one could tell I had just had surgery on my eyes! I will share my recovery photos with Dr. Phelps and you can see them on his instagram site.
I finally look on the outside like I felt on the inside. It’s made all the difference and I cannot recommend Dr. Phelps highly enough.

Thrilled with my chalazion
removal. The numbing shot was shockingly painless and
recovery was exactly Dr. Phelps described. He was
attentive to my concerns pre-procedure and was
responsive to any questions I had. I feel confident
and beautiful again! Thank you Dr. Phelps!

I had an eye surgery last
week with Paul Phelps. He did a wonderful job, very
informative about the procedure. The surgery was fast
and painless. His staff is very kind and friendly.
Highly recommend this doctor.

Dr Phelps helped me through
a difficult blepharoplasty revision surgery. I had
been treated by another doctor twice with disfiguring
results. He was kind, compassionate and very
experienced in this procedure. I am so happy with the
results. His staff held him in high regard, as
well.

I recently had a procedure
with Dr. Phelps for drooping eyelids and honestly -
it was amazing. The bruising and redness lasted
about 1.5 weeks. After that I was able to apply
make-up and effectively cover any remaining
evidence of the surgery.
Now I am left with a much younger appearance and truly better peripheral vision.
I would recommend Dr. Phelps to anyone considering this surgery. He is a kind and talented doctor with a great staff.

I have had two procedures w
Dr Phelps! He is amazing! I am thrilled with the
results! Dr. Phelps is accessible and took the time
to make sure I understood the procedure. His staff is
professional, helpful and on time. I highly recommend
Dr. Phelps!

I met with Dr. Phelps for
assessment of my drooping eyelids and brows. He is
kind, empathetic and very understanding. I felt
very comfortable with him and confident in his
surgical expertise. Dr. Phelps explained the
surgical corrections, recovery time and potential
complications thoroughly to me. After undergoing
testing I scheduled my procedures.
I experienced mild discomfort afterwards for a day or two that was controlled with acetaminophen. I was surprised by the lack of pain as I had expected to be rather uncomfortable.
As the bruising and swelling resolves I am delighted to see the results! I no longer have to hold up my eyebrows to lift my lids out of the way. The incisions are barely visible after only one week, and I am just thrilled with how much better I look and feel about my appearance.
Thank you Dr. Phelps for improving my daily life!!

Dr Phelps could not have done
a better job on my surgery! From my first
appointment, to my last one today, the care from
every last person was the best it could be. Every
single nurse was always professional, careful, and
fun to talk to. Dr. Phelps is a top surgeon, and I
feel if he did not perform the surgery, it would
not look as perfect as it does now. He is also a
cool dude! Thank you again Dr. Phelps!

Dr. Phelps is such a great
doctor. He is personable, efficient, and has not
only great service and skills but great bedside
manner. I love this doctor. He is thorough and
explains in detail that you can understand. I am a
nurse and love how he explains to my mom in ways
she can understand.
My mom Irene had eye surgery because her eye was larger due to Graves disease on one side and he did a job. He is great.
We highly recommend him

Everything about the entire
experience of my eye surgery was top notch from start
to finish. Dr. Phelps and his team were focused on
making the necessary adjustments as painless as
possible while making me feel as comfortable as
possible. I would recommend him and his team to
everyone!!

Dr Phelps achieved amazing
results with my upper and lower eyelid lift.
Friends and colleagues think I've lost weight, look
vibrant, and no one can tell I had surgery. He also
exceeded my expectations in his thoroughness and
kindness during my follow-up care. I continue to
see him for other medical and cosmetic procedures
with great results. Now my dermatologist is
recommending him to her patients.

Dr. Phelps is the consummate
physician and surgeon in my opinion. I consulted
with him because my peripheral vision was
decreasing over the years due to sagging eyelids.
While it took quite a while to get an appointment
with him due the pandemic, it was well worth the
wait.
He and his team examined me carefully and evaluated the extent of the problem. A bilateral blepharoplasty was recommended to remedy the condition. Dr. Phelps explained the surgical procedure and the postoperative care that would be necessary. As important as the surgery itself, the team explained that the amount of loss of peripheral vision was great enough that the procedure should be covered by my insurance plan. His support team made sure that the insurance company approved the procedure well before the scheduled date of the surgery.
The care that I received on the day of the surgery was amazing. Every member of the surgical and patient care team was focused on my well-being and made sure that I understood everything that was happening and why they were doing it. The Northshore University system is one of the best in the country and every staff member is so caring and attentive to their patients’ needs and concerns.
Post-surgery: The morning after the surgery, Dr. Phelps called me directly to see how I was feeling and if I had any questions or concerns. This truly demonstrated his focus on his patients and concern for them. I have not had many surgeons call me directly after a procedure to check on me. Later in the week, I wrote a note to his team because I was concerned about a setback in my recovery. They responded to me very quickly and addressed my concerns well. During my post-op appointment, the team showed the same care and understanding, explaining how the recovery will continue and answering all my questions fully and clearly.
I cannot recommend Dr. Phelps highly enough. I am completely satisfied with the results of the surgery and the care team. If you are considering any plastic surgery procedure of the eye, Dr. Phelps should be your first and only choice.

Dr. Phelps was great! He
made me feel comfortable with sharing my concerns.
And, he made me feel comfortable before, during and
after my procedure. I would definitely recommend him
to friends and family.

Dr. Phelps is a particularly
kind person exhibiting the utmost excellence in his
care for eye related matters and deep technical and
medical abilities. If you are in need of his service,
I'm confident from personal experience he will not
disappoint. Highly recommended.

I had ptosis in my left
eyelid. For a while I had avoided gatherings and
refused to take pictures. Driving was difficult as
my vision was shadowing. From the very first
consultation, Dr. Phelps’ calm, professional
demeanor and his obvious level of expertise with my
issue put me at ease and confirmed that I was in
good hands and had chosen the right doctor. Not
only is this doctor brilliant at what he does, he’s
really listening to you. For instance, I had
forgotten that I mentioned I requested the Beatles
music during a stressful MRI. So, I was in awe in
the operating room as Dr. Phelps greeted me with,
“Hey Kristy, how about some Beatles! Ya know, here
comes the sun...”. Now that’s class! I drove 2
hours each way to see Dr. Phelps and It was
completely worth it. The surgery was flawless and
not only did it correct the issue with my eyelid,
but it did so without any pain or bruising. Thank
you so much Dr. Phelps for taking such good care of
me and helping me get my confidence back.

Dr. Phelps and his team were
wonderful from first time meeting him and then again
on the day of the chalazion surgery. The surgery went
smoothly and I couldn’t be more grateful for him and
his team. I would recommend anyone to him.

Dr. Phelps and staff are
really excellent. He takes time to listen
thoughtfully and make suggestions about your care.
Both he and his office and surgical staff are
patient, empathic and take time to answer your
questions as well as provide clear details. I am
really pleased with the results of my surgery as
well as the care I received pre-, post and during
surgery, in spite of the covid pandemic.

Dr. Paul Phelps has been my go
to doctor for fine lines. I have been receiving
Botox treatments from him consistently over the
last 3 years. He does a great job making the fine
lines disappear while maintaining a natural look.
He always follows up and makes sure I am satisfied
with the results of my treatments. I had my first
set of chemical peels and was very happy with how
my sunspots were taken care of. I highly recommend
Dr. Phelps.

I highly recommend Dr. Paul
Phelps. He is an amazing professional and a truly
gifted surgeon. He asks the right questions and is
thorough in answering all of yours. He spends quality
time with each patient and totally puts your mind at
ease. He repaired the ptosis in my right eye and I am
so excited about the fantastic results!

Dr. Phelps finally got rid of
this chalazion mass that was on my eye lid for 8
months! Another doctor did injections 3x and
surgery twice but could not remove it. I finally
went to a different eye center with Dr. Zeifert.
They were amazingly helpful with treating my then
infected eye, post surgeries with previous doctor,
and whom sent the referral for Dr. Phelps.
My eye finally looks normal again and it all happened so fast with just 1 surgery.
Cannot thank you enough Dr. Phelps!

From my initial evaluation
through my post op visit, Dr. Phelps displayed
genuine concern for my condition and did an amazing
job with the surgery he performed on my eyes. I could
not be happier. He is Easy to talk with, and is
obviously an expert in his field. I am so delighted I
was referred to him.

Dr. Phelps removed a mole on
my face that has bothered me since childhood. It
healed without any scarring. He put in a few
stitches in that dissolved on their own, so no
painful suture removal! I'm so happy with the
results! He had a nice bedside manner and explained
everything to me. Would definitely recommend him to
my friends and family!

I had a great experience
being treated by Dr. Phelps, both at the diagnostic
phase, and the procedural stage. His entire team was
terrific, and made the process as pleasant and
problem free as possible. I highly recommend Dr.

team.

I recently came through a
triumphant orbital surgery at the fine Highland Park
Hospital. Along the course, from first consultation
to the present surgical follow-up, Dr. Phelps's
skill, expertise, masterful directives and
understanding provided for a stunningly smooth and
precise procedure that meant all the world to
me.
