Guest guest Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Hello Kim, My name is also Kim, and my son Brock has bpes, he is now 5 years old. Dr. Hered and Dr. Kostik were Brock's doctors for the first 4 years, until we moved to Georgia last year. I would highly highly recommend them both! Dr. Kostik did both of Brock's ptosis surgeries, one at 2 1/2 months, and the second one at 4 years old. You can look at his recent picture in the photos of this website, I am very happy with the results. If you have any other questions please let me know or you can call me: 706-635-4016. I would love to brag on these great doctors.

He was just diagnosed last month and we've been told by the geneticist and a pediatric ophthalmologist that he requires surgery right away because vision in his right eye is compromised. We are already preparing for a second opinion and have heard of Dr. Hered, ophthalmologist, and Dr. Kostick, oculoplastic surgeon, at Mayo Clinic/Nemour's Children's Clinic in ville. Does anyone have experience working with either of these doctors or other doctors at this facility? If so, what is your experience and satifisfaction level?Any information would be much appreciated.Kim in Tallahassee, FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Kim - thank you for responding. This is incredibly exciting for us. I spoke with a woman in ville yesterday whose son has also been treated by both doctors and she is extremely happy with the outcome of the treatment and the surgeries. Personal testimonies from you two are very encouraging. We have an appointment to see Dr. Hered in 2 weeks and expect to then be referred to Dr. Kostick. Brock is a beautiful child - thanks for sharing his photo. I would certainly like to speak with you personally prior to our next appointment - I'll be in touch.
