I went to Dr. Bitner for an eyelid surgery. I am so happy with the results!! I feel like years have been taken off my face. There was no scarring under my eyes. You can not even tell that there was an eye tuck under my eyes. The surgery was easy no pain at all. I would recommend him to everyone I know. The office staff was very nice also and professional.
I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Bitner and his kind staff. They went above and beyond to help me. Truly exceptional service and care.
I love my results from the surgery with Dr Bitter. The change is amazing. I wish I had found him sooner. I’m 61 years old, feel 40. The main reason I chose Dr Bitter is he specializes only in faces. I think that’s what makes him more of a specialist. For me that is important. I love how excited he gets when he sees the amazing results.
Dr. Bitner is not only a first rate surgeon but an approachable, caring doctor that makes you feel comfortable and confidant in choosing the right procedure. His staff is knowledgeable, professional and friendly. All together, choosing this Doctor was a great decision!
