Dr. Jelks Featured in The List – NYTimes.com – top Eyelid surgeon

2005.Media.TheList.img-ny-timesDr. Jelks was listed as a top doctor in the New York Times Eyelid Lift category in a reference article on  Beauty’s Best in the United States.

EYELID LIFTS

Dr. Glenn W. Jelks,

875 Park Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10021; (212)988-3303; www.jelksmedical.com;

Considered New York’s premier eyelid expert, Jelks has done some 5,000 blepharoplasties. His “no touch” lower-lid technique, where the muscles are tightened and repositioned but not cut, causes fewer complications, he believes.  Jelks is board-certified in both plastic surgery and ophthalmology.


Experts were polled, from doctors to nutritionists, from makeup artists to beauty editors, in an effort to separate the wheat from the chaff. Doctors’ board certifications were checked, and state medical boards confirmed that there were no past or pending malpractice suits. But since it is not possible to sample everyone’s expertise firsthand, caveat emptor.

Practice Closure & Retirement

After more than 40 years of practicing medicine together, Drs. Elizabeth and Glenn Jelks have made the decision to retire and will be closing Glenn W. Jelks, M.D., P.C. (the “Practice”) as of August 31, 2026. We will no longer be able to provide medical care after that date.

Caring for you has been an extraordinary privilege, and we remain deeply grateful for the trust you placed in us. The Practice has always been intentionally small and personal, and the relationships we’ve built through the years are more than words can express.

Your continued care is important. We encourage you to establish care with a board-certified plastic surgeon or appropriate specialist who aligns with your goals.

Your medical records will remain confidential and securely maintained for six years, or as otherwise required by applicable law, after the Practice closes. During this time, if you would like a copy of your records or wish to have them released to your new provider, please complete this request form, which includes an authorization for your completion.

We extend to you our best wishes for your future health and happiness.

Warm regards,
Glenn W Jelks MD
Elizabeth B Jelks MD
