I was very nervous about having any eye surgery. My vision was impaired by sagging eyebrows and lids. After much discussion and loads of questions answered, I had a brow lift and blethoplasty. The surgery was a breeze and I had ZERO pain. More importantly, I am seeing huge positive results and I can SEE! Dr Klapper and his staff have been nothing short of amazing!

As a nurse I appreciate not only great surgical skill, but gentle, kind, bedside manner. Each and every person il have encountered have been very professional, gregarious and kind. Thank you Dr Klapper and staff! You rock!

The folks there were professional and prompt, but I didn't feel rushed when talking with the Dr. He answered all my questions, and didn't make me feel like I was asking anything silly or stupid. Aftercare was thorough. I would say that if eye surgery is ever needed again, I would return to see Dr. Klapper.

Very professional work and follow up after surgery. Mine was a required surgery and not elective and I am VERY pleased with the outcome and the attention. This was for my eyelid and a scary thing to mess with, but they did great work.

The most amazing experience with a healthcare provider. Dr. Klapper was sincere, compassionate, and a top notch professional. His staff is truly incredible and his nurse went above and beyond inquiring about my other medical conditions prior and during my visit. His office is truly beautiful. Dr. Klapper is deserving of being recognized as a top doctor in the Indianapolis Monthly. I highly recommend him for eye care. It was an honor to meet him and his incredible staff.

Dr. Klapper did an amazing job on my daughter's eye ptosis surgery. He, along with his office staff, was genuinely kind & informative throughout the entire process- from our first consultation to her post surgery check up. We are completely satisfied & happy with her results- not only physically but also the whole emotional/self esteem aspect. We are so thankful for Dr. Klapper & his willingness to use his expertise & talent to help our daughter.

Great experience for my upper and lower blepharoplasty surgery! Recovery was quick. And with scares that can not seen with normal vision. I have had zero comments from anyone suggesting they where aware of the surgery. However, I have numerous comments on how good I look for my age - 78. Recommend Dr. Klapper as the best. DLM
