Services
Cosmetic Surgery
Specialized eyelid and facial procedures enhance natural aesthetics while maintaining functional integrity. Our surgeon addresses signs of aging through blepharoplasty, brow lifts, and mid-face rejuvenation. Patients receive customized treatment plans prioritizing long-term results and natural appearance.
Reconstructive Surgery
Treatment for congenital defects, trauma, or disease-related facial deformities restores both form and function. We specialize in complex cases involving eyelid malposition, thyroid eye disease, and orbital tumors. Advanced techniques ensure optimal structural support and visual protection.
Tear Duct Surgery
Minimally invasive procedures resolve chronic tearing and blocked tear ducts through endoscopic and external approaches. Our practice addresses both adult and pediatric cases with high success rates. Postoperative care focuses on preventing recurrence and maintaining drainage function.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Targeted laser treatments improve skin texture and reduce aging signs around the eyes. We use fractional CO2 technology for precise collagen stimulation and minimal downtime. Treatments address fine lines, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation.
Pediatric Conditions
Specialized management of congenital eyelid abnormalities and traumatic injuries in children ensures proper development. Our approach balances immediate functional needs with long-term aesthetic outcomes. We collaborate with pediatric ophthalmologists for comprehensive care.

Words cannot describe my gratitude to Dr. Neimkin and his staff. I had nightmares every day for eleven years after botched eye surgery. I was self-conscious in public all the time and would never leave the house without eye makeup. The thoughts about how ugly I was were all consuming. I went to many doctors over the years, only to be turned away by each of them. They all felt that any surgery would just make the appearance worse. Then I was referred to Dr. Neimkin. He was the first doctor who didnt dismiss how I felt about my eyes and the only doctor who said he could help me. I was in disbelief

There are not enough words to describe how amazing Dr. Neimkin and his staff truly are. Starting with the front desk and the office. First impression means a great deal. The front desk was truly helpful. Julia who is absolutely so awesome and so professional and guides you along the way and is very on top of everything with your scheduling and your payment arrangements and helps you with extra knowledge to help you with whatever you decide to do. Then I met wonderful Dr. Neimkin. He was so superior with everything we talked about and has such a gift in the work that he does. He listened to any

I went to Dr. Neimkin for a consult about doing eyelid surgery so that my eyes were more visible. I had been thinking about doing this for years, but had never found the right doctor. After talking with him and meeting his friendly and professional staff, I was ready to take the plunge. He answered all my questions without acting rushed. He is kind, thorough, and upbeat. His credentials are impressive, but he just seems like an easygoing guy! I have to admit I was nervous the morning of the surgery, but all the staff and Dr. Neimkin put me at ease. They explained what to expect and gave me thorough

Why didnt I do it sooner? I had an upper lid lift (blepharoplasty) and total face CO2 laser. I was fully recovered to wear make-up and be in public at 10 days. Im a physician myself and researched surgeons extensively. Dr. Neimkin is the man! His staff is amazing. My incisions were perfect. Lift symmetrical. No pain at all. Just some itching. The laser zapped every wrinkle around my eyes. Couldnt be happier!

I went to Dr. Neimkin after having under eye fat transfer done by another plastic surgeon. This ultimately caused both lower eyelids to droop. Dr. Neimkin was able to stabilize my eyelids, preventing further scarring. He then performed lower eyelid retraction surgery to permanently correct them. My eyes look amazing! Dr. Neimkin is the best plastic surgeon for eyes! He knew exactly what to do to fix my problem. I couldnt ask for a more wonderful doctor. He and his entire staff are so professional and caring.
