Dr. Rajaii is an excellent practitioner and I highly recommend her for ocular plastic surgery. I recently had bilateral eyelid and brow surgery performed by Dr. Rajjai. She explained the procedure and recovery time thoroughly and what was involved. I had an excellent result from the surgery.

I went to see Dr Rajaii about a droopy eye lid that is residual from Bells Palsey. Although I failed to qualify for the surgery, she noticed a nervous tick and suggested Botox but said I should get an MRI to rule out any nervous disorder first. She put in a order to the GreenSpring Station office, which is more convenient for me, and then we will address the Botox if appropriate, which should be addresses before any surgery. What an absolute gem.

This is a specialist I saw who provided eye surgery for me. This was a follow up visit, and I felt she was very rushed, and happy to be done with me! I know surgeons are a different type of physician, but I would have expected better communication, i.e., asking me if I had questions etc.
