This is the Doctor You Need.
My story is long and complex, however, the long-story short is:
If you've had problematic eye surgery, Dr. Steinsapir is the person you MUST see to fix it.
Between them, Dr. Steinsapir and Faith are both saving lives and healing people, "one eyelid at a time."
I'm still on my healing journey with them -- but I'd like to share my experience, and hopefully inspire you to reach out to them.
Let me tell you my story.
I had unnecessary eye surgery in the UK. And it went wrong. Corrective surgery also went wrong. I was left with severe scleral show, a change in eye shape, and other problems I simply didn't comprehend.
I visited all the top oculoplastic doctors in the UK. Nobody could help. I felt that I'd lost my "soul"... my eyes represented an empty hollowness that resulted in me withdrawing from the world...
I finally decided that I need to see a specialist overseas. So, the search began... Dr. Taban, Dr. Massry, so many big names... who would be the best?
I was mainly interested in Dr. Steinsapir, who had written many whitepapers, and clearly dealt with the most complicated cases.
I visited his office in Beverly Hills, and he spent MANY hours with me. Every other "specialist" I saw gave a cursory glance at my eyes, and reached for an instant conclusion.
Dr. Steinsapir was different. He took time to listen to my story, to understand my surgical history, to check the health of my eyes (functionally, as well as aesthetically), and to propose a solution.
He also honestly explained that a "one and done" solution isn't always possible, and that different aspects have to be addressed separately, to ensure proper healing. (Beware of those that say they can "fix everything" in just one operation, especially with the eyes... it's simply unrealistic, and you'll struggle when the results don't fit.)
Over the course of several operations, Dr. Steinsapir's incredible attention to detail and insights have helped me to gradually heal... both physically, and emotionally.
His follow-ups, his personal phone calls, his utter professionalism... he is nothing short of a genius and an artist. He "gets it" when others DON'T.
A few things to note...
Firstly, Dr. Steinsapir will NOT sugarcoat or gaslight you. One Doctor once told me there was "nothing wrong" with my eyes, as though he were the determinant of that fact. You don't get this with Dr. S. He under-promises, over-delivers, and will tell you what is realistic, and what isn't. When I'm healing and things look messed up, he will say... it looks messed up. And it's very empowering to feel validated, after every other doctor tends to make excuses about their work.
Secondly, the office is METICULOUSLY organized. After many visits, I have never (ever!) seen anyone else there. Appointment times are reserved exclusively for you, and the attention you receive is unlike any other office. Please, trust me when I say this. There is a rhyme and reason behind the way everything is put together, even if it seems a little complex. Try to trust the process. And don't be put off by having to leave a voicemail when you call; once you've connected, this office WILL take care of you, and will not abandon you.
Thirdly, FAITH. If you work with this office, you will work with Faith. And Faith is incredibly special. She has been the greatest support to me throughout my journey. She has called when she sensed I've been upset. She has helped counsel me when I've been on the edge of reason. She has helped assure me throughout my healing. Her wisdom and empathic insight is something that I am in awe of. Please, be respectful of Faith and her talent; she helps to heal more people each year than most people would in a lifetime.
I could continue writing for pages and pages. But you'll soon get bored. So let me try to summarize.
*My experience with Dr. Steinsapir and Faith Gomberg has been BEYOND excellent.*
The process of rebuilding and healing following poor surgery can be a traumatic one, and you need a true team to help you... a team that will collaborate with you, and find solutions together.
That is what happens with Dr. Steinsapir and Faith.
They will work with you, and help you become YOU again 🙏
Now, I am still on that healing journey, but I know that I'm with the right people, and that they will stick with me until that journey is complete.
I couldn't be more grateful to both of them, and I feel extremely fortunate that I made the RIGHT DECISION to choose this office... and that they also chose me as a patient.
