Even busy doctors who see a lot of patients have cases that stick out. A young girl who had been in a four-wheeler accident is one of
those for Dr. Wade Brock, who specializes in ophthalmic and facial plastic surgery.
The girl had a closed-head injury, and her temporal bone was penetrating the back of her eye, Brock said. She also had an orbital-floor fracture that had to be put on the back burner while Brock and a neurosurgery team at Arkansas Children’s Hospital removed the bone from her eye and repaired it.
“She ended up seeing 20/20, which is un- heard of [in such case],” Brock said.
After her vision had improved in that eye, the girl experienced double vision. Brock performed surgery to fix the fractured orbit- al floor, and her double vision was resolved.
That was about 15 years ago. Just last year, the former patient, now a woman who had married and recently had her first child, reintroduced herself to Brock at a wedding they both attended.
“An instant like that reminds me how luckyIamtodowhatIdoandthatIcan make a difference for someone,” Brock said.
For the second consecutive year, Brock has been named Best Ophthalmologist by Arkansas Democrat-Gazette readers in the
newspaper’s 2020 Best of the Best contest. “It’s an honor any time to be recognized,” Brock said. “We have excellent ophthalmol- ogists in central Arkansas. I put a lot of hard work into being the best I possibly can, ... so I sincerely appreciate the patients and your readers who have shown their support for
me and my practice.”
Brock returned to Little Rock in 2004
to practice his specialty at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Arkan- sas Children’s Hospital and the John L. McClellan Memorial Veterans Hospital. Then in 2006, he opened Arkansas Oculoplastic Surgery PLLC, where his patients see him exclusively at each of their visits. Perhaps that’s what sets him apart, he surmises, while acknowledging a good community of ophthalmologists and ophthalmic subspe- cialists in central Arkansas.
Brock and his staff are deliberate in car- rying out their mission, he said, which is to provide care that is second to none, with the highest level of service and amazing results.
“Being plastic-surgery patients, their re- sults help them feel better immediately, or in the case of cosmetic surgery, are highly visible, so naturally, with good results, they feel better about themselves,” Brock said. “Their friends notice, too, and that helps the patients feel even better.”
