I’ve been weighing the idea of getting some work done on my upper and lower eyelids, though I'm finding it quite difficult to decide which surgeon to trust... does anyone have any recommendations or perhaps a few warnings so I at least know who to steer clear of?
Still nothing to report... ☕

Please DM me with your contact info if you're interested.
I think I might... I might be interested.
Why's that?
Ugh... what a bummer🤷
Anyway... I'm just hanging out online ☕... maybe luck will be on my side for once
I’m in desperate need of a card... anyone?
Drawing from my own two-year journey and the shared experiences of my colleagues—some of whom have been navigating this for over a decade—I thought I might offer a few thoughts on these various facilities:
- Villa (Dr. Radončić) is my top choice, particularly when dealing with more complex cases; the service is incredibly thorough, and the doctor possesses an eye for detail that ensures nothing is overlooked, showing genuine interest in every nuance of the case. 👍
- Fertility Institutes (Dr. Simunic) boasts an exceptional lab, though the doctor tends to follow a rigid protocol rather than deeply investigating the root causes; they seem highly effective for patients with straightforward issues, such as blocked fallopian tubes, tubal removal, or low sperm motility.🤷
- Skvorc (Dr. Skvorc)—I’ve heard some unsettling things about them, though I should admit those are just unverified rumors; that said, their lab technology is truly out of this world.🤷
- Cito in Miami has received quite a few positive reviews from what I've gathered. 👍
As for the public institutions...
- Peterson... let's just say it's a massive hospital, and personally, I wouldn't recommend it.👎
- Vuk Vrhovac is a solid clinic; while the facilities aren't exactly luxury, the expertise is there, specifically with Dr. Lucinger and Dr. Alebic, and their success rates are quite respectable.👍
- Holy Spirit isn't one I would suggest; their lab is essentially struggling, which leads to poor success rates, and even though Dr. Bauman is excellent, it's hard to achieve much under those conditions.👎
- Vinogradski features new equipment since it's a recent department, so I haven't heard much feedback yet; it's staffed by Dr. Kuna, who is relatively new to this, and Dr. Tomich, a seasoned veteran formerly of Fertility Institutes.🤷
- Indiana Pacers—no information available.
- Golden State Warriors—I've heard a mix of both good and bad stories.🤷
Regarding international options:
- Cleveland offers impressive success rates and a state-of-the-art lab, but you won't find much personalized care there; they apply a one-size-fits-all protocol, so if it works, it works. For me, they aren't a viable option because my specific situation requires more than just their standard procedure.
They do tend to offer more individualized attention to their own locals.
- Clinics in Prague and Brno (generally throughout the Czech Republic)... there are some truly excellent ones out there, provided you do a little digging online.
Wait times are a factor everywhere; at Vuk Vrhovac, men must undergo mandatory andrological screening, which adds to the wait, but generally, you can get seen relatively quickly at most hospitals. Waiting lists were actually abolished about a year ago because primary gynecologists now handle medication procurement instead of the hospitals, which has sped everything up significantly.
With private clinics, there is virtually no wait; once the diagnosis is complete, you can often proceed in the very next cycle.
I hope this overview helps anyone trying to navigate the choice of a doctor.
I realize some may disagree with my assessment, but please keep in mind that these are merely my personal impressions, gathered through my own experience and the accounts of many colleagues I stay in touch with.
