Testimonials
Dr. Grant Gilliland
“Dr. Gilliland is the best of the best
Dr. Gilliland is a fantastic doctor with a wonderful bedside manner! He is wonderful at what he does and truly a specialist in his field. I lost my eye as a child and have had him as a doctor since I moved to TX in 1995. I truly feel blessed to have him and would highly recommend him to anyone because of his knowledge, compassion and skill. Losing an eye is a very traumatic experience and one that needs to be handled with compassion and dedication. You will not find a doctor more dedicated than Dr. Gilliland.“
“Dr. Gilliland is very kind and thorough physician. Gave me the most thorough examination after seeing several other physicians before I decided on surgery. Did a fantastic job in surgery and used a laser which made me swell less than I expected.”
“Great experience with Dr Gilliand. He was on a team of surgeons that removed my sinus cancer. Exceptional work and easy to speak too.”
“Dr. Gilliland – The greatest Surgeon In The World
Dr. Gilliland performed orbital decompression of both my sockets, and later, performed a third surgery, cosmetic in nature. He is the most skilled physician I have ever known. Words will never adequately describe how I could even come close to thanking him for preserving my vision. He truly gave me my life back. Anyone out there with Graves Disease, he is the guy you need to see, and you WILL know when that arises. I love him and his office staff.”
“Dr. Gilliland, as far as I’m concerned walks on water. My husband had an unfortunate lower lid injury while out of the country. We rushed home to get help and ended up in Dr. Gilliland’s office. He was gracious, confident and reassuring my husband’s eye would be ok with surgery. We were in the OR the next day. The results are phenomenal. Unfortunately, my husband had a life threatening event the day after surgery. Dr. Gilliland took time out of his day to stop by the hospital and see him.”
Dr Gilliland’s knowledge and experience is like no one else’s! He is a phenomenal surgeon and genuine person! He listens to his patients needs and concerns and is very thorough! Would recommend him above any other surgeon in his specialty!! Above and beyond satisfied!!
Very thorough examination and good explanation of my problem. I visited several other surgeons before deciding on Dr. Gilliland. He did a fantastic job on my eyelids and I still look like myself just younger. His staff did a great job of educating me on the process and I was well prepared for surgery. Very happy with the job Dr. Gilliland did.
“Dr. Gilliland – He performed orbital reconstruction of both of my sockets due to Graves disease and I know first hand how skilled he is. This is major surgery. A day…”
Dr. John Harrington
“The doctor explained my problem very well and spent a lot of time with me. He did a fantastic job on my surgery.”
“I had a great experience with Dr. Harrington. He was thorough and patient. He took the time to explain the problem, the options to treat, and what to expect on recovery. I had excellent results and enjoyed the entire process. Additionally, he was flexible on his scheduling and worked with me on my busy schedule. Thank you, Dr. Harrington!”
“Dr. Harrington is very professional. I was very impressed”
“Dr. Harrington saw my infant for a malformation of her face in the vicinity of her eye. Other providers were ‘out of town’ for over a month and the lesion continued to grow at a rapid rate. Dr. Harrington was quick to understand the urgency of our needs and to guide us to the next step of my baby’s health care. When the other physicians seeing my daughter refused to see or treat her, Dr. Harrington stepped in and took over. Even though he knew that her problem was not in his specific field, he looked at her MRI and CAT scan, made a call, and had us go to the correct doctor immediately.
I am very grateful to Dr. Harrington and his staff. The office is lovely, wait time is truly minimal, and Dr. Harrington knows his field very well.”
“Fantastic experience! I have been exceptionally pleased with my experience with Dr. Harrington. He was very patient with my eye problem and I believe he made a very astute prognosis of my condition. Where most doctors would have been very anxious to perform surgery on my eye, he was just the opposite. He was cautious with the course of action and treated it with minor procedures in the office. I am very happy with the results. I would highly recommend Dr. Harrington. I never once felt like I was being processed like a number. I felt that he took special attention to me and treated me just like he would if I were a family member. He was very conscientious with his treatments and I really felt like he was genuinely concerned with me and my treatment. I felt like his knowledge and experience were a big asset with my health. I wish that more doctors were like him. This is what medical treatment should be like.”
Dr. Ivan Vrcek
“Dr Vrcek recently performed a procedure to lift my eye lid. I was referred to him by my eye specialist. What a wonderful experience it has been. Dr Vrcek and his team met with me in early November to assess my situation. They filed all of the paperwork with my insurance and the procedure was successfully done at Baylor Surgicare in Dallas. I am thrilled with the results! I appreciate his attention to detail and availability to answer all of my questions and concerns. It is so refreshing to to be treated with such care and concern when it comes to procedures like this. I highly recommend Dr Vrcek.”
“I have had overwhelmingly positive experiences with Dr. Vrcek and his practice!! He performed surgery on my eye and I was completely back to normal in days – with absolutely no scar!! Both he and his office were extremely attentive and called to check in several times. His staff is accommodating and concerned about convenience – they are also wonderful about getting you in if you need to be seen. Dr. Vrcek is also handling my “facial maintenance” :), with wonderful results. His background and experience are also seriously impressive. I can’t say enough positive things!!”
“I noticed in our Easter photos that my eyes looked half open. Strange, and definitely unattractive! Then at my annual follow-up for cataract surgery, my eye doctor told me that droopy eyelids after cataract surgery were common, and referred me to Dr. Vrcek because my vision was effected. I’m so happy he did. I found Dr Vrcek to be such a kind and compassionate young man, and quite confident he could solve my problem. His staff took care of all the details with my insurance company. All I had to do was show up! The procedure was painless, yet I was amazed when the morning after surgery I received a personal phone call from Dr. Vrcek himself, checking on me. Never have I ever had that experience before! He truly cares about his patients. The results is amazing. Not only has my vision greatly improved, but I am much more confident in my appearance. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Vrcek to anyone considering eye surgery.”
“I’ve been searching for a plastic surgeon who could improve my forehead wrinkles and dark circles under my eyes. I found the right one when I met Dr. Vrcek! He helped me achieve a natural look and was very thorough in explaining the options I had with filler/Botox. I’m a 33 yo male and was nervous to do anything withought people asking questions. After he treated me, I was shocked to see the wrinkles and dark circles disappear! My outcome is incredible! He was gentle with the injections and – side note – a pretty funny/charismatic guy who made me feel totally comfortable during the process. I definitely recommend Dr. Vrcek to anyone looking to achieve a natural outcome through aesthetic treatments.”
“Very personable! He explained everything well prior to the procedure and kept me updated as he was working. He kept me distracted and calm during the more difficult parts of the procedure (numbing) and talked through it with me which made it a good experience. I will be seeing him for other procedures in the future and would recommend him to friends.”
“Dr Vrcek is an amazing surgeon. He performed emergency facial surgery on me that could easily have had a very bad outcome. With Dr Vrcek I had almost no pain and extremely minimal scarring. He deserves a definite 5 star rating. His follow up visits and bedside manner were also exemplary.”
“I found myself with a few weeks between jobs and decided to go ahead with a much needed eyelid surgery. Dr. Vrcek and his team were so patient with me answering emails at all hours of the day, and scheduled me just two weeks after my initial consultation. The surgery experience itself was much less stressful than I had imagined, everyone were so sweet and caring.I was surprised that the actual surgery was pain free and recovery just a week. After 9 days I was at a party with my husbands company and I started my new job after only 3 weeks and no one can tell I even had it done. I would definitely do it again with Dr. Vrcek and his team they really are the best.”
“From first consultation to post operative care – Dr. Vrcek made me feel heard, comfortable and explained everything in detail. My experience with surgery has not always been the best – but Dr. Vrcek helped make me feel less anxious about going under the knife. The result was outstanding and I can see the world clearer now thanks to Dr. Vrcek! His staff was amazing and I recommend him to anyone…”
“Dr. Ivan Vrcek is one of the most caring and compassionate doctors I have ever met. He has taken so much time explaining all that is entailed in the surgery, including the risks and other options. I had been wanting to do this for years. As soon as I met Dr. Vrcek I felt completely confident in him and at peace with my decision. After the surgery at every follow up visits he took care to be reassuring that the end result would be what I was hoping for. He is a very skilled surgeon and he has the good taste and a good eye for what looks best. I trust him completely and recommend him without reservation. Luqman Gomez Dr. Ivan Vrcek es uno de los doctores que tiene el don de gentes , amigable comprensivo y con un gran sentido de humanidad. En mi caso se tomo todo el tiempo necesario para explicar en detalle todo el procedimiento de la cirugía. En mi primera visita me sentí completamente confiado en el asi que mi decisión fue muy acertada. Despues de la cirugía y en las siguientes visitas para ver los resultados de la cirugía, el con mucho cuidado se aseguro que el resultado de la cirugía era lo que estábamos esperando. Un éxito y muy complacido con su trabajo.

“Best surgeon ever .,, truly changed my life.”
“Very knowledgeable physician. Did an excellent job with my surgery. Very kind and compassionate”
“I was referred to Dr. Vrcek and he has been a helpful hand throughout my journey. From assisting in diagnosing my condition, to my orbital biopsy, to referring me to a rheumatologist. After the biopsy, he called several times during my recovery to ensure that I was healing well. Even afterwards, he checked to see if I was being taken care of by my rheumatologist. When I tell people that I have had an orbital surgery, they are amazed at how well the scar is hidden. I’ve been told several times “I can’t even tell!.” He was amazing. I highly recommend Dr. Vrcek.”
“It was a blessing when I got referred to Dr. Vrcek. I had to have a plastic surgery for my eyelids and I am very pleased with the results. I loved the way he communicate with patient and the care he shown before and after the surgery, I never had a doctor that call you in person to check on you. Thank you so much Dr. Vrcek, May God bless you!”
“Dr. Vrcek is honestly one of the best doctors I’ve ever encountered. My 92 year old grandmother had a traumatic injury to her left eye. I thought for sure she would loose both her eye and all sight. Under Dr. Vrcek’s guidance her eye healed so well you would have never known anything happened. He consistently checked on her while in the hospital, and since her discharge, has been great about following up via email to make sure things are going well. The care he provides really feels genuine. Vrcek has an incredibly sharp mind, so I’ve never felt unsure about any decisions. There’s no doubt he has a gift for this. Godsent is the word!”
“Dr. Vrcek was very professional and enthusiastic about the difference the eyelid repair could make. I could really see a difference following the surgery and people have been quite complimentary saying I look brighter eyed and they can’t tell I ever had the surgery.”
“Dr. Vrcek is the best!! At our first consultation I was struck by several of his positive attributes–traits not often found together in one doctor. First, his communication skills are A+. Sincere and detail-oriented, he really prioritizes understanding patient needs before even broaching treatment options. When discussing treatment, Dr. Vrcek provides a comprehensive explanation of why and how he plans to proceed a certain way.
I could tell from our conversation that Dr. Vrcek’s knowledge in his field is exceptional.
Perhaps more importantly, he knows how to leverage & tailor that knowledge when problem solving a patient’s specific case. His recommendations are both prudent and innovative. For proof of this, you can read the Q&A section of his profile on RealSelf.
Finally, he demonstrates professional caring by following through on all commitments. My prescription was called in on time, and Dr. Vrcek even followed up the week after our visit via both phone & email to make sure I was doing well.
Basically, this was the ideal medical experience…which as we all know is the rarest of commodities.”
“The best doctor and staff! He removed 2 black mole from my eyelids and performed biopsy and the surgery was perfect, recovery great and I still have all my eyelashes!! Outstanding!”
