In the office and under the medical care of Steven L. Garber, M.D., F.A.C.S., a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
“I lived in LA for 43 years, and LA was great but it was time to move on. So I retired and moved to Santa Cruz for the weather, the sea and mountains near by.
I thought carefully about my aging face of 58 years. I sought advice and information from Dr. Garner about my heavy eyelids and under eye pouches. I explained to him that I wanted to improve my appearance. Dr. Garner carefully studied my face. I asked him many questions. He explained each answer thoroughly. His option and plan for improvement would also benefit my eyesight.
I felt very comfortable with Dr. Garner. I found all the courage to trust him to help me. I easily decided to proceed and we scheduled. The day of and post op days went stunningly well. I was never uncomfortable. Dr. Garner made sure I was safe, sound and secure while in his care at all times. I find Dr. Garner to be a highly skilled surgeon. He has a natural ability to create beauty with his hands. A truly marvelous artisan with many years of successful corrective surgery experiences. He is also a very kind and gentle man.
I am very grateful to Dr. Steven Garner. "Thank you for a prettier smile, Doc” - Annie
