Dr. Erb is an artist with a medical degree! I selected Dr. Erb after consulting with two other doctors and I am so thankful I did. Dr. Erb is a true perfectionist in every possible way. I knew this the moment I completed her thorough intake questionnaire. Each and every question is thoughtful and deliberate, and she actually reads all of the answers and provides personalized care based upon the patient’s unique needs. I am a member of a blepharoplasty Facebook group and I constantly see posts of patients having gone through procedures only to have their doctor seemingly disappear right after their procedure, or they are set post-op appointments six months out, left to post their medical questions in a Facebook group, hoping someone has the answer. I cannot stress enough that this is NOT what you will get with Dr. Erb. I was in constant contact with her from the day of my surgery, at which time she provided her personal cell phone number, all the way to now, nine months post-op. Any questions, concerns, comments, worries, you name it…she and her staff are there to assist me. I have always felt that Dr. Erb was deeply committed to my care. She listened to me, communicated with me, and provided me with quality care, not to mention I am absolutely THRILLED with my results. This procedure was one of the best things I have ever done for myself and Dr. Erb was unequivocally the best oculoplastic surgeon for the job.
