Dr. Groth performed upper and lower Blepharoplasty on me 3 months ago. I am very pleased with my results. Dr. Groth is a caring and extremely competent surgeon. He called the day after my surgery to see how I was doing. I had minimal pain and minor bruising. His office staff is responsive and kind. I would highly recommend Dr. Groth. I have added before and after pictures to document the dramatic yet natural results. read more

I worked for Dr Groth for a few good years. I have nothing but amazing things to say about him and the staff. Things may have been rough as far as staffing goes per past reviews, but that is definitely not the case now. He actually cares about his patients and his staff.

It's interesting reading some of these negative reviews. I had nothing but excellent results. I'm sure everyone is different but I can't tell you how happy I am with the way my eyes look now. About four years ago I finally decided to do it. The first week was really rough because I got an eye infection and I had to go back to him and I needed antibiotics but that was because I accidentally got antibiotic cream in my eye. I watch the healing process and it was slow. One eye seemed bigger than the other and Dr Groth finally reassured me that they would both turn out perfect. He was right and at the six week mark they were perfectly even and symmetrical. I felt like a completely different person. I had such hooded eyes before, and putting on Eyeliner would just melt off. He is the only person I would ever let touch my eyes. I am in the beauty business and many of my clients recommended me to him. After I saw the way they looked, I couldn't believe the difference. So I made an appointment, And yes I did take six months to get that appointment and another six months to get my surgery but it was so worth it. I highly recommend Dr Groth. He does the best eyes I've ever seen and I seen a lot in my business. read more

How this MD is ever rated less than 5 stars by anyone is beyond me. He is the industry-wide recognized GOAT for ocular-plastic surgery. Nice guy, to boot. He did a great job on my eyes. Office staff, especially Kylee, was really helpful in setting the appointment. Two friends of mine had the same operation with the same outstanding results. read more

Dr. Groth is a brilliant artist! As a former model and a spa owner I always was against surgeries, only because being in a beauty industry you see a lot of "operated faces" and I was always scared of it. Until I saw my own client after few weeks having her eyes done with Dr. Groth. She looked incredible! I'm 48 and have great skin and no linens, but I wanted to fix my droopy eyelids (specially droopier on one side). So I waited patiently to see Dr. Groth. Right a way I knew he is the only person I want to have my surgery with! He is so honest and experienced. My husband and I both had our eyes done with Dr. Groth, we both look 25 years younger and extremely grateful to have the honor of such an artist!. Thank you Dr. Groth for all your care! Briana and the staff were very professional and quick with all the arrangements. read more

I am updating my review as I had so many readers reaching out with questions, and posting pictures of my upper and lower lids which hopefully will get attention of Michael Groth. As you see dr. Groth I don't have scars and you told me that was my only option. In my opinion there are doctors who truly know what they are doing and really want to help people. The fact is that you charge for consultation and make people wait 9 months for appointment proves you are all about money and ego. Have a nice day! read more

It's been 13 years now and my eyes still look great. Dr. Groth has magical hands, Doctors call him to fix the botched jobs. There is a waiting period to get in but it's worth the wait, he is simply the best Doctor. Oh, and he has integrity, compassion and will not just take your money. He actually cares about each one of his patients. read more

This brilliant doctor has been around for many years. Anyone in Beverly Hills knows, he's the go doctor, for eye work. It can take a year to get an appointment. That says a lot. But when you finally are face to face with him. He sees you as a whole. And takes into account all your features, and what would be best for you and why. He explains everything thoroughly. And you really feel he cares. I saw other Beverly Hills ocular surgeons, just for a comparison and there was none. He is by far, the most experienced and no one compared in understanding just what was right for my face and eyes. He is kind and compassionate, and I'm thrilled with the complex surgery he did to rejuvenate my eyes. The office staff was very nice and they were very supportive, and a shout-out to Brianna for being so helpful! Thank you! read more

Dr. Groth is one of the best surgeons in B.H. He made my eyes youthful! I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends.

It took me a few years of research and many top doctors declining in doing my surgery due to excess skin under and over my eyes. I met Dr. Groth and instantly knew he was the right doctor for my surgery as his confidence exuded, "I can do this"! and showed me pictures of other patients with similar challenges that he conducted surgery on. Yes, I waited about 6 months for the appointment and 1 year for the surgery date. I am so very very happy with the results, I am 57 years old and everyone tells me I look 20 years younger and look rested and refreshed. I would hate taking pictures in the past as I always felt old, sad, and tired, which I was not. I look great, and love taking pictures thanks to Dr. Groth. His staff is sweet and professional. He is an amazing doctor with great manners. Called me everyday after the surgery just to check in. Amazing. I highly recommend Dr. Groth. If I show you before and after pictures you would be amazed too. read more

I have not been so excited for an appointment in my life. I scheduled my eye lid surgery consultation two years out and have been counting down the months and then days. I walked in and after one hour and 10 minutes had still not seen the Dr. I was put in a back room and left there. I have been to the best of the best in this area and what you never do as a Dr. of this caliber is let your office staff drive away clients. No one ever explained to me they were running late. Nothing. The office staff was rude and when I had to leave to go get my kids from school, they actually smiled and said "Ok....Bye!" They could care less about a potential client. I have friends referring Dr. Groth out becasue they liked his work. They will not be doing that anymore. There are MANY other options out there. When you have a staff treating their potential clients this way, you have chosen the wrong staff. This is not a review of the Dr. I never even saw him. This is a review of his office staff who made it very easy for me to walk out and call a different Dr. with even better reviews. read more

He is a great doctor I was here two years ago and had a surgery I am very happy with the outcome After operation if there is anything , you can call him and he makes sure that you are happy. read more

There IS no better cosmetic surgeon for eyes PERIOD!!! He ONLY does eyes!! (& eye related surgery) So there's none of this...multi region surgery. He simply is THE best! I needed a Dr.who really knew eye muscles & related problems.Plus he's a skilled perfectionist. My results are flawless. ( its been 2 years now!) He does NOT take OUT the under eye fat,but repositions it into the upper cheek area. I had consults with several high profile,highly advertised on line health & beauty sites docs... Forgetaboutit!! It's his METHOD of this procedure that separates him from all the rest. Plus he quietly has done 1/2 of the big name stars in Hollywood!! ( if not more) That's just the TRUTH! All my pals are running to get appts with him. His calm bedside manner,& truthfulness if he does NOT think something should be done,is refreshing in this, the Grande City of cosmetic surgery! read more

Dr. Groth performed my upper and lower eyelid surgery, and I couldn't be happier! When my friend had her procedure (several years ago), I knew he would be the only doctor I would trust. Seeing my results, my co-worker has scheduled her surgery. Thank you to Dr. Groth and his staff for such excellent care. (Tap photos to see full view.) read more

Dr. Groth is amazing such an artist, had my eyes done 9 years ago and can't say enough on how great he is. He is the only person I let do my Botox around my eyes since I had my eyes done. He is so friendly and explains everything so make you feel at ease. read more

Worth the wait and money. Excellent results exceeded my expectation. Great follow up and he has always found the time to fit me in his busy schedule for follow ups once I became his patient. He truly cares about his patients. read more

All I can say is Dr. Groth was worth the wait and worth the $$$. I look exactly like myself with 10 years shaved off. I am so happy with the result, very very natural. I had a lower blepharoplasty and he also removed an angioma from my upper eyelid, very delicate surgery! I really hate to say this but maybe some of the other staff isn't stellar but when it comes down to it, it's really the surgeon who counts. He was very responsive to phone calls and emails after the surgery and most importantly, he knows what's he's doing and doesn't promise what he can't deliver. read more

Dr. Groth did my upper eyelids when I was 37. I've always had heavy eyelids and I loved the result. Very natural, not pulled looking and you can not see scars at all. When he was done, he said "I'll see you in ten years". Well, it's been 13 years and I still look good. He is an artist and takes his sweet time on your eyes. I'm not one who cares about office staff (they were nice), billing problems (no issues) etc bc when it comes to plastic surgery, you need to focus on the prize - Dr. Groth's skill is the prize! read more

Im not a patient, but i just wanted to say thank you, to Dr Groth, for the volunteer work he does to help repair Soldiers. He's obviously a stand up guy, and I just wanted to say thank you. read more

At 30 years old I already had really bad under eye bags that made me look way older than I was. People always asked me if I was sick or tired or "what happened to your eyes?" I was referred to Dr Groth by a friend who had her eyes done by him, her Father had also had surgery by Dr Groth and her Grandmother too. It took a while to get into a consultation but I was booked for surgery shortly after. I am three months post surgery and I couldnt be happier. Dr Groth did such an amazing job! I look so much youthful and rested and my face and skin look smooth. I am so happy with the results and would do it 100 times over again! read more

Went to this office for a consultation after my primary physician referred me as a cancer patient with a little tumor growing over my left eye because of Dr. Groth's expertise in Facial Plastic Surgery. After I completed 2 pages of his forms, there was an additional form stating that Dr. Groth does NOT take Medicare, even with PLAN F (nor any other insurances - they only provide a Super Bill). I had to leave his office unseen and unattended, and was very disappointed that this UCLA Professor of Medicine does not take Medicare patients (especially since the Federal Government has poured thousands into their Medical School to train physicians and funded research projects, and because I had worked for UCLA in the past). I did appreciate a followup call the next day from his kind staff offering a referral to an Assistant Clinical Professor who does take Medicare, and consequently made an appointment with him. I appreciated that call and look forward to seeing the referred physician instead of Dr. Groth. read more

I waited almost a year for a consultation and then almost another year to get to schedule surgery. He is busy! He is also very good and I am happy with my outcome. The results are good, I have about a 30% improvement which is what he said I would have as I did not have a lot of fat to 'push around'. His bedside manner is ok, not the warmest person but I didn't care, I wanted to go to the best and someone who only did eyes. My problem with the experience was the aftercare and his office staff.First, the nurse removing the stitches pinched the eyelid skin as she was removing and then denied it leaving me with a puckered piece of skin and then I was suffering from terrible chemosis(sp?) 2 weeks after surgery and the front desk would not get me an appointment. They were kind of awful because I was really worried, could not see well and honestly if you spend that much on a surgery the doctor should be available to see you throughout the healing process if there are concerns. They literally would not make an appointment for me and told me to wait. I ended up going to another doctor for after care. read more

Dr Groth specializes in Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery who has extensive training in his field and is also considered one of the best in his field. I was just looking on Yelp for something else when I noticed the one star review from Angie V. All I can say is that I experienced the best care possible from Dr. Groth. Though it was many years ago now, I feel compelled to defend him. I went to Dr. Groth around 1999 for a correction of a blepharoplasty that had left me with drooping lower eyelids and drying of the cornea as my lids didn't close all the way even when asleep. He was recommended to me by one of the best plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills at the time who told me that lower eyelid corrections are very delicate and that it would be best if I went to Dr. Groth for the surgery. Dr. Groth did a fantastic job and "held my hand" during the entire process as recovery takes a bit of time from this type of operation. It is now some fourteen years later and at the age of 62, my eyes still have no lower lid drooping. I thank Dr. Groth everyday for making me look more youthful and, more importantly, saving my eyesight. Being from Los Angeles and the film business, I have had a number of cosmetic surgeries over the years with varying degrees of success. I consider the surgery I had by Dr. Groth to be the most successful along with his concerned bedside manner. Dr. Groth, I always said I wanted to write you a letter but never did, and I haven't seen you in years, however, I'm glad that I finally have the chance to thank you for everything you did for me. Thank you so very much. FYI: I just Googled Dr. Groth's educational background and I think that anyone would agree that it is laudable. Please see below. Credentials Dr. Groth graduated first in his undergraduate class at the University of Florida, where he was selected for Phi Beta Kappa. He also graduated first in his class at the University of Miami, School of Medicine, where he was president of Alpha Omega Alpha. At Mount Sinai Medical Center, Dr. Groth took his internship and was chosen as Intern of the Year. He completed his residency at UCLA Medical Center's prestigious Jules Stein Eye Institute. Dr Groth did his fellowship training in Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery at UCLA. Dr Groth is a board certified ophthalmologist as well as a member of the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. He has practiced in Beverly Hills for more than 20 years. As an Associate Clinical Professor at UCLA School of Medicine, he teaches regularly. Dr. Groth has lectured extensively and has authored many articles and book chapters on Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery. Dr Groth is one of a small number of fellowship trained ophthalmic plastic surgeons in Southern California. His practice is limited to cosmetic and reconstructive eyelid and eyebrow surgery. Dr. Groth has successfully performed thousands of eyelid and eyebrow procedures. read more

I recently under went lower eyelid surgery with Dr. Groth. I cannot be more thrilled with my results. Feb 1st , 2015 was my final after surgery visit. The before and after pictures are astounding. It took me three years to work up the courage to have this done before my 50th birthday. I wish I would have done it sooner. There was very little discomfort. It was much easier than I imagined. No one knows I had anything done but They do think I look refreshed. When I say I had eye surgery they say "Lasik?" LOL. When I show them the before and after photos there mouths drop open and they ask who did it. Dr. Groth came highly recommended to me. I can say I could not have imagined looking any better. No scars, No problems and I enjoy looking in the mirror first thing in the morning. read more

What a quack of a doctor. One of those blown up ophtalmologists,, who took barely any schooling in plastic surgery to just expend the buck. Please look at the prior reviewer's photo. Do her eyes look younger to you? Don't you see the deep hollows below the eyes? I have no idea why she even bothered with the surgery to start with, the result is very poor, it is not what of a proper plastic surgeon is able to deliver nowadays with the current knowledge and training The problem is if in a really surgical world a surgeon has to perform a substantial amount of procedures as a lead surgeon under supervision ( at least 25 to identify and remove sentinel lymph nodes in breast cancer surgery for example ) to be certified that he is capable to to the procedure to the hospital standard imposed by the hospital while In plastic surgery, God help the patient, the field is completely unsupervised, whatever he can do is purely in his mind media "work up" Very limited skills and poor judgment. Does procedures that he has no patient's permission for and does not put them in the report. Does not inform patients that there are more advanced procedures that would benefit them better, since is unable to perform them himself due to the limited and outdated skills. Was unable to keep the shape of the eyes, made them round and one eye enlarged more than the other. Please go to Vitals and see that the positive reports are by patients who were very recent after the procedure, like a couple of weeks or so. They do take the beneficial swelling for the results LOL Such premature reports should not be even accepted for the plastic surgery procedures. 6 months at least needed to properly evaluate the results. How he got on the so called revisionists list? I would not be surprised that he paid someone. He was unable to deliver a primary procedure. This article " the clean up crew" on his office wall, so he definitely realizes the media effect on his pocket. I had his operative report reviewed by one of the most respected professors of plastic surgery in his country, this profesor, was surprised that Dr Groth is actually a plastic surgeon vs ophthalmologist, so limited are his skills. Choice is yours, but I wish I had not gone to him and would not recommend him to anybody His own staff went to the blepharoplasty to another surgeon. .PS in all fairness, he did ask me to come back so he can revise his own procedure, I refused, I woudln't trust this man as far as I can throw him or even further. Revisionist indeed lol read more

My complaint is not with Dr. Groth, but his office staff. I went there and filled out the paper work and one of the lines asked for my social security number and very stupidly, i put it down. Someone from his office either sold my information or went around opening credit cards under my name and spending money on my credit cards. Basically, someone from his office either stole my identity or sold my identity. Very frustrating!!! The police have been alerted and they will be prosecuted if found. Let this be a warning to everyone, DO NOT WRITE YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER ON ANYTHING!!! read more

There isn't a better doctor. Dr Groth did my surgery and I am thrilled with the result. He is a brilliant surgeon and a kind, attentive doctor. I rarely have given a review but there are so few doctors that you can recommend and know that your friends will forever be grateful to you for the recommendation. I have sent 5 of my friends to Dr. Groth and they have all raved about the result. If it is difficult to get an appointment it is because he is in such demand and I advise waiting as he's the very best. read more

Dr. Michael Groth is everything my friend referred me to and MORE!! He is a true artist and a perfectionist!! I had seen what his work was like on friends of mine and was truly amazed at the results... People who have had bags under their eyes for most of their life - now completely gone and natural looking.. I knew he was good, not only because he was booked 9 months in advance, but I had also seen the results on other people. So I had mine done. I am so pleased at the results!!! I have a confidence I haven't had in 30 years... It improved my look tremendously... I used to never photograph well, (even though I do some acting) and wouldn't book commercials - because of my eye bags and was told I had a "sleepy" look. Now I have new photos and I am booking commercials left and right... Dr. Michael is an angel from heaven and of those negative reviews he has here... those people have issues (physical and mental) and would never be satisfied with anybody or anything. Dr. Groth is the real thing - he's the best at what he does - he deserved the accolades people give him and I wouldn't recommend anybody else! He DELIVERS!!! read more

Dr. Groth is a superb Occuloplastic Surgeon. As a retired Facial Plastic Surgeon, I personally performed over 1500 upper and or lower cosmetic eye lid surgeries. During my career, I had the opportunity to see scores of Dr. Groth's surgical results. I also referred him some complicated cases which he handled beautifully. Now that I am retired, I wouldn't hesitate to refer any cosmetic eye lid cases to him. His education and experience is unparalleled. read more

Dr Groth did an amazing job on my upper lids. The procedure was very easy, no pain. I had minimal swelling and bruising due to the doctors pre surgery and post surgery instructions. The stitches were removed after 7 days and at that time I was able to go back to my daily schedule. I would (and do) recommend Dr Groth to everyone! read more

I went to Dr. Groth after being disappointed with the results of my surgery by another doctor. He was very upfront about the chance of success. I had the surgery and the outcome was amazing. I am so happy with the results. He is very nice and patient. I highly recommend him. read more

The eye guy, Dr GROTH, is a true professional & an excellent surgeon. I had my bags removed 6 years ago & my eyes still look wonderful. I look at least 10 years younger. Don't bother searching for a surgeon if u are considering having work done on your eyes. It's a delicate procedure that requires a highly skilled surgeon and our eyes are something we cant afford to mess with. Dr Groth is the best L.A. eye surgeon. read more

People have always said I have great eyes, but by my 50s I had developed hereditary and age-related 'bags and sags'. I love and trust my dermatologist, and the only recommendation he had for my eyes was Michael Groth. I had surgery done by him in March 2011 and not only did I look great within a few months, but I look even better today. Totally natural. I look like me - 20 years ago! It took about 6 months from my initial call to surgery and it was worth the wait. I highly recommend him. read more
