LONE TREE, CO, January 20, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ — Michael S. McCracken, MD, has been recognized as a 2025 Castle Connolly Top Doctor; this is the second consecutive year that he has received the esteemed Top Doctor honor. Only about 7 percent of the nation’s licensed physicians are chosen annually as Castle Connolly Top Doctors in their regions for their specialties.
Dr. McCracken is an extensively trained ophthalmologist (eye surgeon) with an additional two years of fellowship training in oculoplastic surgery at University of California San Diego. He has served since 2009 as the medical director of McCracken Eye and Face, his Denver-area practice.
Board certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology, Dr. McCracken is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, the American Academy of Ophthalmology, and the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery.
He skillfully performs an array of the most advanced cosmetic oculoplastic surgeries. He has particular expertise in performing droopy eyelid surgery (upper lid blepharoplasty), eye bag surgery (lower lid blepharoplasty), double-eyelid surgery, facial fat grafting, endoscopic brow lifts, and FaceTite® and AccuTite® radiofrequency skin contouring.
Dr. McCracken also offers a variety of minimally invasive procedures and services, including facial rejuvenation, laser skin resurfacing, brow lifts, facial contouring, neck contouring, and FUE hair transplants.
“Over the past two decades, I’ve had the privilege of performing thousands of procedures to enhance my patients’ self-esteem, and I take immense pride in the positive impact I’ve had on my patients’ lives,” Dr. McCracken says.
“As an oculoplastic surgeon, I focus on the areas around the eye,” he says. “I have a deeper familiarity with the anatomy than a general plastic surgeon, and this allows me to better serve my patients.”
He has earned a number of professional and consumer recognitions, including being named a 5280 Top Doctor, Top Doctors in America, and Best of Lone Tree (Plastic Surgery) in 2024.
“While I am proud of the many awards I have earned throughout my career, the most meaningful recognition comes in the form of a heartfelt thank-you note from a grateful patient,” Dr. McCracken says. “At my practice, my staff and I are fully dedicated to not only achieving excellent outcomes but also getting to know each patient’s unique story and aspirations. We strive to offer an experience that reflects both our expertise and our personal commitment to transforming lives.”
In addition to his clinical and research activities, Dr. McCracken has served since 2009 as an assistant clinical professor of ophthalmology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine’s Anschutz Medical Campus and as an assistant clinical professor of ophthalmology at Rocky Vista University.
Dr. McCracken earned his medical degree at Wayne State University School of Medicine. He completed three years of residency training in ophthalmology at University of Illinois, Chicago Affiliated Hospitals.
