    1/5 stars. Misdiagnosed me and dismissed my comments and concerns. Glad I went to a second doctor and received proper treatment and care.

    My eyes became infected the next day. They were so swollen I couldn't see. He wouldn't see me…read moreuntil I threatened of going to another doctor. It took over 2 months before the swelling started to go down, and 6 months for the scarring to subside. The surgery didn't improve my blepharitis - I still tear constantly and now my face is not the same, I have dimples in the outer corner where I was sewn up, and my eyelids still sag. I would NEVER suggest anyone go thru this torture. The outcome was worse than the condition. I also have to add that they provide release forms JUST prior to surgery. I didn't have time to read all of the fine print. I woke up to Dr. Sires' INTERN sewing me up. When I asked him, he said it was in the paperwork. I wasn't given a copy so I couldn't verify. I paid $$$ to have an expert, NOT an intern.

    I had a similar experience as Lisa B (another reviewer). Woke up to find an intern working on one…read moreof my eyes! That eye was much more bruised, swollen, and beat up looking than the other eye and took much longer to heal. About a year later, when the improvement Dr. Sires promised never materialized, I went to another doctor (ophthalmologic plastic surgeon), and she was quite surprised at the poor results. I had to have the surgery again, done by her (and had to pay for a second surgery on both eyes!), to correct the poor work Dr. Sires and his intern did on my face. I strongly recommend staying away from this doctor.

    Please do not go to this "doctor."…read more I almost never post google reviews but felt compelled to warn anyone considering putting their eyes (windows to the soul) in the hands of this man to BEWARE. He disfigured my eyes and consequently crushed my soul. While he is jovial and seems confident don't be fooled. He ruined my beautiful eyes. All I wanted was a slight refresh. Nothing more. I have spent over a year and half and tens of thousands of dollars to try and simply return to baseline. I went in for a simple lower blepharoplasty and he also suggested a soof lift and a brow pexy. Both of which were absolutely worthless and I've been told by various occuplastic surgeons I've consulted with since that both are rarely performed anymore because they don't produce results and aren't worth the investment. If only a baseline unimproved snake oil result was my biggest issue. I would be thrilled actually. Unfortunately my new reality was not even close to baseline. While I was on the operating table Dr Laukitis took it upon himself to perform an upper blepharoplasty (later stating that he "didn't charge me for it" - what surgeon would ever say that) without my consent. I DIDN'T WANT AN UPPER BLEPHROPLASTY NOR WAS IT LISTED AS A PROCEDURE FOR WHICH I SIGNED MY CONSENT TO PERFORM. So he removed skin that I didn't want removed and "fixed" a scar that wasn't ever there leaving me with an unsightly scar. Horrid. In reality it had to have been a slip up that he attempted to cover up by the scar nonsense. All of the surgeons (5 of the top in Seattle including his well respected business partner) were puzzled and couldn't figure out how such a scar could be created and why this oddly angled cut would've been done under any circumstance. They all read the surgical report and were the ones to tell me that he had indeed performed skin removal. Wow. The feeling of being taken advantage of while under anesthesia was overwhelmingly violating. So we have the horrid scar but that wasn't the end of it. He completely botched the corners of my eyes. They went from lovely normally angled corners to having a rounded and sad, dog like, appearance. He mutalated my natural canthal tilt and I was left with mild scleral show, downturned and webbed corners. Good times. He constantly said it was "immature wounding" whatever that means and that it would likely settle. All of the other surgeons said that it had almost zero chance of settling as gravity pulls down not up. It was botched and that's the facts. When I asked him point blank why he fixed a scar that wasn't previously visible he didn't remember that he used that excuse and said oh that must be from the entry point for brow pexy. I pulled up the email thread which stated that he had previously said it was a "scar revision" and then he seemed to half remember and claimed that I had had a scar from perhaps a previous "bug bite!?!" At this point I remain speechless and have resided to the reality that I will never know what really happened or why. Everyone makes mistakes or misjudgments (be it not ideal when it's someone working in your face) but if you do then OWN IT. DON'T MAKE THE PATIENT FEEL LIKE THEY'VE DONE SOMETHING WRONG. Unacceptable. Consequently I am left with no choice but to surgically attempt to return my eyes back to what they originally were. Which I thought had little chance of actually doing but through the hands of the best surgeon in Seattle I'm likely as close to baseline as I will ever be and have my eyes back. I could've had a medical malpractice suit and won but instead opted for a full refund - So I was financially refunded but suffered a massive amount of emotional trauma and duress. Like life altering. Your face is a huge deal. Your eyes might even be a bigger deal. Do not risk having your naturally beautiful features being destroyed by naively trusting this man.

    I am struggling with the outcome of my eyelid surgery still after 2.5 months, with constant pain,…read morebumpy skin in the corner, constant tear flow and blurred vision in one eye. something obviously went very wrong during the procedure on my right eye, as it has been problematic ever since but the left one is fine. I was told I could resume work within 1 week after the surgery, but I am still unable to after 2 months. When I explained over and over for weeks that I am having issues on the computer, causing pain, constant tearing and blurriness in my right eye to the point where I can't perform my job duties, I was told I represent less than 1% of his patients that "take longer to heal". Yet he refused to sign for short term disability to protect my job so I can take time to heal because he doesn't want to deal with the state. I am at a total loss, and feel completely dismissed. I had high hopes for a great outcome, as I was assured by Dr. Laukaitis that would be the case. it really feels like all he cares about is getting paid and moving on to the next, with no compassion for his patients' well being after he performs the procedure.
