Dr. Oestreicher was excellent and his care was exemplary. I had a rough time with the healing and I don't believe most people recover as quickly as you are told...maybe some people...not all.
I feel better and my eyes look great. I wish I had done this years before. Now, strangely I have notices frown lines I barely saw before...that is strange. Dr. O is a great Dr.

Hello! This is Dr Oestreicher. I have recently retired from active clinical practice in Canada, although I will continue my teaching at the University of Toronto and internationally. I will also continue my volunteer work overseas with project ORBIS and MSF telemedicine. I want to thank the tens of thousands of happy and satisfied patients I have had the privilege to look after over the last 30-plus years. The gratitude of my patients, who appreciated my efforts at concern, kindness, communication, and quality work has been a constant source of motivation. My professorship at the University of Toronto and my international reputation have merely flowed from this source: You the Patient. Thank you once again. James Oestreicher, MD, FRCSC

TO PATIENTS OF DOCTOR OESTREICHER:
Would anyone be willing to share a before-and-after picture of their eyes after a Horner Syndrome surgery with Dr. Oestreicher. I need to get this surgery done and I'm nervous about the outcome! My email is sumeethshanmugam@gmail.com. Thank you!

I had blepharoplasty done few years ago. I was in my early 40s at that time. Dr. O said I didn't need to remove any skin, just a tug was all I needed. I guess he was wrong. After 2 years, my eyes went back to normal. It was a waste of time and money. Now, I am wearing eyelid tapes.

Do not trust your eye surgery to this doctor . He did my upper and lower bleph years ago and I have never regretted something so badly. I thought I did my research then but he removed so much skin and fat that I could barley close my eyes! I wanted something natural and he removed so much on my upper eyes that I look like a different person. Weird shape eyes, eyebrows and so low I look angry. And every year with age it looks worse and worse!! Do not go to this doctor you will regret it! And nothing can really be done to correct it !

I had upper and lower blepharoplasty with dr Oestreicher and very very happy with results. My eyes look much younger and very natural. Dr Oestreicher was very supportive, caring, and informative. I was very nervous going about everything, but he really helped me to go through the entire process. I was so worth it! Thank you very much.

I've had Asian Blepharplasty on my upper eyelid with him 5 years ago. I was 20 then, and my life has been an absolute nightmare since. I cannot warn you enough to stay away.

Biography

Since 1990, Dr. Oestreicher has completed more than 20,000 eyelid procedures, trained many other eyelid surgeons from around the world, is a Full Professor at the University of Toronto. and has volunteered hundreds of hours of his time to work on the "flying eye hospital" (The Orbis project), a specially equipped aircraft and team of medical experts that work in developing countries to save sight and train other doctors. There is no replacement for this experience or the peace of mind that comes with knowing you are dealing with one of Canada’s foremost eye specialists, not a general Plastic Surgeon, General Ophthalmologist, Dermatologist, Otolaryngologist (ENT), Facial Plastic Surgeon or General Practitioner. Dr. Oestreicher is known as the “physician’s physician”, operating on many doctors and their spouses and family. He is also the go-to man for repair of bad eyelid surgery – just one more reason why he has earned a long list of testimonials from grateful patients and endorsements from other eye care colleagues around the world.
