From the beginning I felt a little leery of the Tepeza Medication...However having a conversation with the staff and some personal investigation, I decided to go with the Tepeza. My vision was really poor before the 1st. Infusion, From 1-10...10 being perfect I was at a 2. Today 2.5 weeks later, I can honestly say I'm about 8.5 in my vision and looking forward to the 2nd infusion. I'm able to drive, read, cook etc. The Staff, huh! OUTSTANDING!!! At least once a week their checking up to see/hear your progress. As well assuring the date & time of your next appointment. Thank you to Dr Raymond Douglas and Staff for your outstanding care of me, your Outstanding! read more

I contacted this people back in November for a friend of mine in overseas that needed thyroid surgery in US and explained the US Embassy requirements, they responded by asking for $150 for video consultation that can go toward the surgery which we agreed and waited a month for the video call that took only 5 minutes and I wad told by person in video call that someone would contact me short time after the video call, for days No one called or emailed and ignored my calls and as well as my emails, after I sent my last email that I was going to dispute the charges and post my negative feedback about their actions my friend received the estimate that how much is going to cost the surgery which is useless for the purpose of our inquiries in first place, now I have few questions from these people : 1) In my first email I specifically stated what we needed if you were not going to do it why you wasted 2 months of our time ? 2) Why right after 5 minutes video call you ignored us for days until I told you I am going to dispute and post my reviews? 3) Is you office desperate for $150 ? 4 ) when we told you we need a letter that explains about the surgery and other procedures in order to apply for a visa for my friend and you agreed why are trying to establish by sending an email that how much you would charge after sending numbers of emails and phone calls ? 5) you have about 40 reviews on google, most of very positive !!! reviews are from people with only one review in their record , are these reviews are real or fake ? What this office has done to us is pure dishonest and unprofessional . read more

After more than ten surgeries without any success, I was close to giving up hope before I met Dr. Douglas. His team welcomed me with such warmth and support, making what seemed like an endless struggle much easier to handle. Dr. Douglas took the time to explain each procedure in a way that eased my fears and reignited my hope. The transformation has been incredible, not just physically but in the confidence I now feel. I'm deeply thankful for the compassionate care I received and sincerely recommend Dr. Douglas to anyone facing similar challenges. read more

I had a recurrence of Thyroid Eye Disease in my left eye after having strabismus surgery to correct its misalignment. It resulted from from orbital decompression surgery that I underwent a year earlier. Dr. Douglas's team was very attentive from the very beginning. They explained the Tepezza treatment plan to me and worked to authorize it with my insurance company and others so that I would not have any out of pocket expenses, as this medication is extremely expensive. They took measurements and photographs during my first visit so they would have a benchmark to compare against as the treatment progressed. I underwent the full 6 IV treatments 3 weeks apart, and I completed them in about 5 months. My left eye bulge improved dramatically, to the point that there is now only a 2 mm difference between the left and right eyes. I believe it recessed about 4 -5 mm. The alignment of the eyes also improved dramatically. I had double vision as well, but I did not notice as much improvement in that as i did with the bulging and alignment. The side effects I noticed were all relatively mild, except for knee pain in my right knee when I walked. I had problems with this knee before the Tepezza treatment, but it became more acute after the treatments began. Other intermittent and temporary side effects included mild diarrhea, muscle spasms in my back, and ringing in my ears (Tinnitus). These all should stop about 2+ months after the final treatment. Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Douglas and his team for your Tepezza treatment. He is the foremost authority on this disease, and he was one of the main ophthalmologists guiding the testing and ultimate approval of Tepezza by the FDA. read more

I saw Doctor Douglas after a failed orbital decompression with another doctor . I was extremely nervous about going thru another surgery. Doctor Douglas's bed side manner and information he provided made me feel at ease . He did exactly what he promised and gave me my eyes and eye health back . After years of struggling to get relief from pain and discomfort and finally looking in the mirror and seeing the old me before I was diagnosed was such a relief . If you are looking for a surgeon specializing in Orbital decompression he is the one , look no further . I highly recommend him . read more

It's been over 14 years since I was diagnosed with thyroid eye disease (Graves' disease) and was one of the less than 1% that was going blind. I give all the praise and thanks to Dr. Douglas for saving my vision. When I was informed I was going blind Dr. Douglas and staff recommended I participate in a Clinical trial at UCLA in which rituximab, used for other autoimmune disease, could be key in saving my vision. Rituxin was given immediately and within weeks the progression of the disease ceased. Today I am a proud statistic and thankful I was an integral part of this eye saving research. Now if I could get similar results from my other autoimmune disease, Primary Biliary Cholangitis life would be great!! read more

Dr. Douglas performed an eyelid retraction repair, canthal repositioning, and permanent filler removal on my face. This was an exceedingly complex procedure to perform, and I have had it fail in prior attempts with other surgeons. My results are excellent, and I highly recommend Dr. Douglas for all oculoplastic procedures, he really knows how to navigate complex revision cases. read more

Dr. Douglas is the most compassionate surgeon in Beverly Hills. I can tell you this because I've worked for many in town and consulted with three occuloplastic surgeons before meeting him. I came to Dr. Douglas at my lowest point after having several unsuccessful revision eyelid surgeries by one surgeon. I met with Dr. Douglas twice and he sat there as I cried, and was the most thorough and honest surgeon I've met. When say cried, it wasn't just tears, my heart was so broken. I can't imagine anyone walking into his office and having a bad experience because he embodies what a doctor should be. He is not a flashy doctor (which I appreciated) and his assistant Jocelyn was equally as kind. Surgery is tricky and there are many risks but I know that Dr. Douglas would do everything he could to help. I am Asian and my eyelids are so complicated. I have overcorrected ptosis, and really large eyelids that I never wanted. Dr. Douglas came up with a solid plan to try his best to fix my eyes, but after speaking with many other Asians who have been botched in the US, it was highly recommended that I go to Korea where there are experts for Asian eyelids. I was so close to putting my deposit down, my gut told me to but I didn't listen. I ended up going to Korea to fix my eyes and although they're a little bit better I do wish I went to Dr. Douglas. Having surgery abroad leaves you no comfort or assurance when you come home. I wish I had gone to Dr Douglas because I just know he cared about me as a human. May be in the future I will try to consult with him again if he'll have me. I feel embarrassed, but as I sit here thinking about all my wrong decisions regarding my eyes, I go back to how Dr. Douglas treated me, and he really was the only one who sat there and treated me with dignity. Obviously if you look at his photos, his work is impeccable. The amount of lives he's changed so people can look others in the eyes confidently is a beautiful thing. Thank you Dr. Douglas, for being so kind to me and to your patients. Sometimes kindness is the medicine one needs. Surgery isn't just external, it's internal too. I hope this helps someone out there make the right decision when they feel hopeless about their eyes. read more

I was fortunate to have been referred by my Ophthalmologist to Dr. Douglas, as I was experiencing symptoms of Thyroid Eye Disease. He diagnosed it right away, and then launched into treatment mode. Despite the fact that he is a brilliant physician, he is able to communicate and explain treatments for those of us who are experiencing fear and anxiety, and self esteem issues because of the disfiguring and debilitating nature of the disease. He is kind, caring, and of course, knowledgeable. He is a skilled surgeon, and is able to make his patients feel comfortable and reassured. I recommend him to anyone who is experiencing the effects of Thyroid Eye Disease or any other issues that require the expertise of an oculoplastic surgeon. read more

Very satisfied with the service here. Kind, compassionate and professional doctor. I wish there would be more doctors like Dr. Douglas

Specific to my case, Dr. Raymond Douglas is a miracle worker. I had suffered Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) for 10 years. Symptoms included eyes pushed out of their sockets, constant eye pain, embarrassment, extreme light sensitivity and red red red eyes!!! At the time I discovered Dr. Douglas on YouTube, I had endured 5 surgeries to correct the effects of TED. The results were minimal at best. Dr. Douglas could immediately see my extreme needs. He fast-tracked me into surgery. Moved my eyes back to their rightful position. And erased all of the trauma of dealing with TED. I now look as I did 10 years ago prior to the onset of this auto immune. The loving care of Dr. Douglas and his excellent staff will forever be etched in my heart as a miracle far beyond my hopes and dreams. read more

Dr. Douglas treated me at his Beverly Hills, CA Clinic. He is a brilliant Angel of Mercy who heads an excellent team! It is because of his work on my TED impacted eyes that I was able to get back to my writing; finish my PhD, and start to pick up the pieces of my interrupted life. When I found out I had Graves disease (as it turned out, undiagnosed for almost 2 decades and therefore debilitating), I looked everywhere for solutions. At the time, I had stopped writing, reading; in fact, using the computer had become altogether impossible due to excruciating pain, double vision, eye rigidity, and a host of other problems. In fact, the bottom had literary fallen off my professional and personal world, and it looked likely to everyone but me that I would not complete my PhD at all. I initially worked with two local ophthalmic clinics while I researched and contacted TED specialists around the country, asking to be taken into their practice as a patient. I was also searching for solutions to minimize the disfiguring effects of TED. Seeing my continued adamance, doctors, family, and friends were telling me that eye damage from TED was most often permanent; and that I needed to accept my "new self" so as to adjust my life expectations to a realistic level. Six months into the search, I wrote a tentative email to Dr. Douglas' Beverly Hills office. From that moment on, I was enveloped by affirmative, thoughtful, and superlative professionalism that restored my hope in the ability of my body to heal under the right care. During my initial consultation, Dr. Douglas was receptive of my opinions, and he explored the pros and cons of different treatment options with me before efficiently establishing a framework for the direction that we mutually agreed upon. To top his brilliance, Dr. Douglas is the kindest, gentlest doctor you will ever meet; soft spoken, and completely down to earth. An important consideration for me as an African woman was the possibility of keloid scarring in case I underwent surgery, since surgery is common for TED patients. I have two keloid scars from prior experiences in other parts of my body. This time, I wanted to be sure that I worked with a doctor who knew what to do about African skin, given the importance of the eye area. During my search, Dr. Douglas was the only surgeon in his field to deliberatively convey his extensive knowledge about special considerations he makes for the different types of skins. African, Asian, and Caucasian skins differ in strengths and challenges. For example, one of his innovative techniques prevents even the possibility of keloid scarring, something that in my experience many surgeons and dermatologists are only marginally aware of without having any real solutions. As it turned out I did not need surgery-I chose to participate in a double blind clinical trial of the human monoclonal antibody Teprotumubab, with amazing results! A miracle for the TED community, this ground-breaking drug has just this month been approved for market under the name Tepezza. Another thing about Dr. Douglas' practice is that they have taken the time to render educational materials easily accessible. From Peer reviewed papers to learning modules and shared personal stories on social media; the team is dedicated to bringing the message of their mission of healing to the global public and even to local doctors. As a result of this comprehensive information dissemination approach, when I brought it up with my own local ophthalmologist that I had found Dr. Douglas and was in the onboarding process at his Beverly Hills Office; in spite of the 2,500 mile distance; my local doctor thoroughly approved of the choice I had made, since he was already very familiar with Dr. Douglas' work. Anyone suffering with TED, those in need of oculoplastic surgery or other work that is in Dr. Douglas' purview will be glad they chose him. I am grateful to have found him and attribute the completion of one of my most important life goals to his work. read more

I suffered from thyroid eye disease for almost a decade before I decided to have orbital decompression surgery. I needed the procedure to fix damage done to both eyes. After a bad outcome (blindness) following orbital decompression on my right eye with another surgeon at a reputable hospital, I lost hope for ever having the procedure on my left eye. After several years of having very different looking eyes, I decided to consider my options. I was referred to Dr. Raymond Douglas by my ophthalmologist. From the moment I met Dr. Douglas, I felt he was the right surgeon for me. Dr. Douglas was not only very kind, but he was confident and gentle in his approach. He went over all my options and told me to think about it and come back when I was ready and comfortable. After several months of consideration, I scheduled orbital decompression on my left eye and blepharoplasty on both eyes in December of 2020. Surgery with Dr. Douglas was so different and much better. Not only did I hardly have any pain, but recovery was much faster. Almost a year later, I am so happy with my outcome. I have no visible scars and my eyes are finally symmetrical. Thank you Dr. Douglas for giving me my confidence back and making me look like myself again. I am forever grateful for you and your staff for your kindness and care. read more

I cannot tell you how important it is to a patient to have someone like Dr. Douglas caring for them. I met Dr. Douglas a few years ago and found a doctor who not only listens,understands, and above all Cares! He not only took excellent care of me but made sure that I was 100% back to normal. Since that time he has continued to be "my go to" doctor on a number of other eye conditions. Truly blessed to have him on my side. read more
