I have blepharospasm with difficulty opening my eyes at times. I get Botox® every 4 to 6 months for this problem. Since I am new to the area, I actually fly back to Baltimore to get my treatment. Does Dr. Steinsapir treat blepharospasm?
Dr. Steinsapir has been treating blepharospasm since 1988 and trained with Allan Scott M.D., in San Francisco at the Pacific Medical Center. Dr. Scott invented the use of Botulinum A toxin for blepharospasm and first marketed this product as Oculinum®. Dr. Steinsapir does not participate with any insurance including Medicare. Therefore, you would need to privately contract with him for service. An office consultation will determine what dose of BOTOX® will be right for you. As a courtesy, the office will send you a bill that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. However, private contracting for Medicare beneficiaries precludes any billing to Medicare. Inquire with the office for more details.
