I have been working with Dr. Pearce since 2020. Initially, I sought his treatment to correct drooping eyelids. The surgery was successful, and I was very pleased with the process from start to finish. With subsequent unrelated issues, I was referred back to him due to co-occurring conditions that could only be treated by an Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon. I have since required surgery for a blocked tear duct, and treatment for recurrent styes. During my 'stye era,' Dr. Pearce left no stone unturned. He used multiple treatment modalities to prevent styes and relieve symptoms. Although, it was a difficult journey in my health, I had comfort knowing that I was receiving the best care. To date I am symptom free, but I would not hesitate to use his services again!!

Dr. Pearce is the Best! He has helped me with my eye problems for many years. He is always available to answer any questions & had provided excellent care.

My Wife was recommended for Eyelid surgery by our Optometrist. We contacted and met with Dr. Zachary Pierce, DO who is part of the Michigan Oculofacial Specialists, to find out up front what the costs would be. He said insurance would cover the eyelid surgery but recommended additional surgery which Insurance would not cover. He indicated our cost would be about $1000 which we were forced to pay up front. On the day of the surgery, we were told we had a $500 deductible, and additional $141.48 co-insurance, plus another $330 for a portion not covered by insurance. We were forced to pay again up front $971.48. In addition to that they made us pay another $250 for Ambulatory Anesthesia ASSTROY, whatever that is. So originally were were told our portion would be about $1000, so far we have paid $2291.48. Now if that wasn't enough they are billing us for an additional $586.13. I took a look at the insurance claims made for the eyelid surgery and it breaks down as follows: $7493.64 billed (by all of the players) $4183.67 allowed (based on negotiated rates) $3271.06 paid by insurance $2291.48 paid by us $5562.65 Total paid If $4183.87 is the total allowed, and they were already paid $5562.65, why am I still being billed $586.13? I contacted the billing department and they suggested contacting the insurance company and were no help at all. The surgery went well but I took off 4 stars for the lack of honesty up front and the very questionable billing practices.

Truly life changing experience with Dr Handler! I had my upper and lower lids done with ptosis repair by Dr Handler. He responded with a sense of urgency during the entire process. He has given me my confidence back. I can’t recommend him enough!

Dr. Handler review from Oct. 7, 2020 Dr. Handler is kind and patient - answering questions one might have in a relaxed, gentle manner. The office environment is pleasant with efficient, friendly and helpful staff. I was also impressed with the surgery center, Truvista - a modern, spacious and comfortable facility. My eyelids turned out beautifully and naturally, I am extremely happy with the results. I no longer have to raise my eyebrows to the max to see upwards and the deep forehead wrinkles this caused are now receding. The eyelids now feel weightless and can move effortlessly. If you have ever had long hair and had it cut off, that is the feeling of lightness that remains! My field of vision is also greatly expanded - sometimes you don't know what you are missing until you get it back! Additionally, in these past months, four people I have met also had Dr. Handler "do" their eyelids and all were equally as enthusiastic. He is a highly specialized eye surgeon and I can't recommend him highly enough!
