Patient Reviews
Oct 01, 2023
Some years ago I was diagnosed with Squamous Cell skin cancer in my lower left eyelid. I was advised I’d require surgery to have it removed and then reconstruction. I was referred to Dr. Rizutto for the reconstruction. Obviously you want to go through something like this once and be done with it. Unfortunately, the cancer returned and he’s had to reconstruct several times. I rarely write reviews, but making sure potential patients know what a good doctor he is feels like a responsibility. Although he’s had to repeat the surgery his skill has been proven each time. My biggest fear, other than the cancer, was being disfigured. To my astonishment, this didn’t happen. His ability to match my other eyelid is art. Additionally, when I have to go in for check-ups Dr R always makes me feel like family and I leave feeling upbeat. That’s not always been my experience with doctors. It’s such a blessing to have him. Don’t hesitate to consider seeing him if you need a superior plastic surgeon.
