I had an upper blepharoplasty done by Dr. Melanie Ho Erb early in March 2026. I'm an Asian male,…read moremid-fifties. I asked for really high and deep creases, and to remove some fat. I've shown her a few highly edited photos of myself with my desired results. I originally chose Dr. Erb because her before / after results were the best I've seen. And after meeting with her via Zoom, I knew I'd found my Oculoplastic surgeon. She was extremely thorough during the interview, answering questions I've not even asked yet, and knew what I was going for. She went through the procedure with a fine-toothed comb, ensuring that I understood fully what to expect. Every question was answered, absolutely NOTHING was rushed. I felt extremely comfortable knowing I was in good hands. And Dr. Erb was so personable; I felt like I was the only patient in the world! On the day of surgery, I met with her staff, who were very accommodating, friendly and comforting (Gina is a riot!). They made me feel at ease before and after the surgery. Dr. Erb gave me some medication to induce sleep, and before I knew it, I was out. The procedure itself was pain-free. I was pretty groggy after surgery, and I can't remember too much. My healing from Day 0 was uneventful: no problems and no complications, just normal bruising and swelling, typical for someone my age. I'm pretty much a slow healer; I iced for the first week and a half to two weeks until I returned to Irvine for suture removal. The stitches were removed without a hitch (and felt amazing!), and now let the true healing begin! I'm now at one month+, and the results are incredible. The results look EXACTLY like my projected photos. I have zero complaints! I understand its only been a month, and my lids will continue to heal and de-swell. But if these results are any indication of what the final results will be, man oh man, I will re-name my first-born "Melanie"! Dr. Erb is extremely skilled in what she does, and she has great bedside manners. She truly listens to your wants and needs, and will do her best to keep you happy. Choosing Dr. Erb was a life-changing decision --- I can't recommend her enough!! I was always self-conscious of my eyes, and now I've never been happier. My only regret is that I wish I've gotten this done in my younger years. That, and I wish I had more eyes so she can do those, too! Michelangelo, Shakespeare, Einstein, Dr. Melanie Ho Erb -- wow!

Dr. Ho Erb is a superb surgeon, and has an amazing team of professionals supporting her. Her follow-up is excellent, and her "bedside manner" is tops! If I needed another procedure, she would be the one and only surgeon I would choose. I was referred to her by another ophthalmic surgeon, which speaks volumes about her standing in the medical community. The surgery sites she uses are the best as well.

I appreciate the gesture and his willingness to address my concerns. That said, my goal was never to obtain a refund.

I am sharing my experience so that other patients know to carefully review their EOBs and billing statements and make sure they understand any charges collected before insurance is processed.

From the moment I met him during my consultation, I felt confident that I was in excellent hands. He took the time to answer my questions and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Everyone in the office was incredibly helpful, supportive, and attentive, guiding me through both the preparation and post-operative stages. The day of surgery was very well organized, making the experience smooth and stress-free. My recovery was surprisingly quick and virtually painless. Most importantly, I am very happy with my results. I am grateful to Dr. Joseph and his team for their professionalism, care, and outstanding work.

I cannot recommend Dr. Jeffrey Joseph highly enough…read more I first came to Dr. Joseph a few years ago because I was unhappy with the appearance of my under-eye area. Before finding him, I had been told by other providers that filler was the answer for the unevenness under my eyes. Unfortunately, it only made things worse. After consulting with Dr. Joseph, I finally understood that what I actually needed was a lower blepharoplasty--not filler. That surgery completely refreshed my appearance while still looking incredibly natural. Friends would tell me I looked well-rested, and I honestly felt like I looked 10 years younger. As I approached 43, I noticed my upper eyelids had begun resting on my lash line. My eyes constantly looked tired, and my makeup routine had gone from about 7 minutes to nearly 30 because I was trying so hard to make my eyes look more open and awake. I knew it was time to go back to Dr. Joseph for an upper blepharoplasty. Just like my first experience, everything was exceptional. His office is one of the most organized and caring medical practices I've ever worked with. The communication before, during, and after surgery was incredibly thorough, and they made me feel supported every step of the way. They even surprised me by sending a beautiful bouquet of flowers to my home after surgery--a thoughtful gesture that perfectly reflects the kind of practice they run. The surgery itself was far easier than I had imagined. I was much more nervous than I needed to be. I never even needed Tylenol afterward, and my recovery was remarkably quick. By day eight, I looked almost completely normal. I'm now seven weeks post-op, and people constantly ask me if I've done something different because I look younger. I always happily tell them about Dr. Joseph. One thing I've realized is how many women in their 40s don't even know what blepharoplasty can do. The funny thing about your 40s is that you still feel like you're in your early 30s, but sometimes the mirror doesn't reflect how youthful you actually feel. I work hard to take care of myself through diet, exercise, and a healthy lifestyle, and Dr. Joseph's work helped my outside finally match how I feel inside. I don't look "done"--I simply look like the best version of myself. Beyond his incredible surgical skill, Dr. Joseph has one of the best bedside manners of any physician I've ever met. He immediately puts you at ease and has such a warm, approachable, caring personality that it feels like you've known him for years. While many plastic surgeons perform eyelid surgery, Dr. Joseph has dedicated his career exclusively to oculoplastic surgery. That level of specialization matters. The eyes are the focal point of your face, and achieving a natural result requires tremendous expertise. I've personally seen blepharoplasty results from surgeons who don't specialize in eyelids, and the difference is obvious. Dr. Joseph's results are elegant, balanced, and beautifully natural. Finally, I have to recognize his incredible staff. From the front desk girls, to Jennie (his right-hand gal), to his wonderful surgery coordinator, every single person is kind, welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making your experience a positive one. If you're considering eyelid surgery, I truly cannot recommend Dr. Jeffrey Joseph and his team enough. It was one of the best investments I've ever made in myself, and I would choose him again without hesitation.

I found Dr. Shang a compassionate and knowledgeable doctor with good bedside manner. I would…read moredefinitely trust going to her again. The only reason why I took off one star is that I don't think the office is run the most efficiently. The first time I had ever gone, I was supposed to have a prescription called in for me that day. It took a couple days of calling the office to follow-up before it got sent in. I don't know if was the doctor or just the front office not following up on it. Second time I had gone in for a prescription, it was called in right away so maybe that was an anomaly. Also, most of the time when I call, I cannot get through to the office. I have to call multiple times and sometimes on different days to get to a live person. I also don't get call backs when I leave messages. The front office gal doesn't seem the most on-top-it. If this continues, I may have no choice but to start finding another ophthalmologists.

As another physician, I was referred to Dr. Shang by other physicians. I was truly puzzled when I…read morepulled up her website for locations and found one website that seemed false. It had very negative comments and it seemed very vindictive. After contacting other physicians, I found it was a fraudulent website created by a patient. I reviewed Dr. Shang's credentials carefully and decided to go see her based on referrals from my colleagues. I have to admit I was a little nervous having read the fake website but Dr. Shang is the epitome of a caring and knowledgeable physician. She spent so much time with me on a detailed exam and explained my options for my reading issues. She is thorough and kind and I could tell kept up with current medical literature. Now I know why so many other physicians recommend her. As far as her receptionist, I found her to be warm and very polite. I completely understand that patient interactions with the front office are extremely important but I found mine to be very positive. As far as collecting payment upfront, it is standard of care to collect co-pays upon checking since it is required by insurance law. I would advise any future patients to read about her on her website and to disregard the one created by someone who for what unknown reason dislikes her. I truly cannot imagine why anyone would dislike her from my interactions with her. I feel confident to recommend her to my patients and my family.

When Sonya answered, she simply stated that she was helping other clients.

I hope the office provides additional customer service training to its front desk staff so future patients are treated with better communication, courtesy, and respect for their time.
