Medical Weight Loss
Fat Transfer can add volume to facial features, enhance facial contours, and reduce the facial hollowing that can come with age or significant weight loss.
Pediatric Care
There are two main reasons dilated eye exams are recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Ophthalmology: first, to evaluate the overall health of the eye; and second, to obtain an accurate glasses prescription. A dilated exam is the best way for our doctors to look at the health of the eye including the optic nerve and retina, as well as screen for abnormalities or growths. Checking for a glasses prescription in kids requires relaxing the focusing muscles in the eye. This is accomplished by dilating the pupil and helps us get the most accurate glasses prescription for each child.
Primary Care
Eye screenings should be completed by a pediatrician, family medicine doctor, or other primary care provider at birth and at least annually throughout childhood. Many primary care offices are now using photoscreening devices that can detect children that may need glasses, have eye misalignment or other conditions. For most children, these screenings are sufficient. However, if there is family history of pediatric eye disease (including family members needing glasses from a young age), or if your child shows any signs of having vision problems (blurred vision, holding objects very close to their face, or crossing or wandering eyes) then a full exam is recommended. Many schools will also require an eye exam prior to the start of the school year.
Ear Infections
Excel Eye Center first opened its doors in 1917—over 100 years ago. Founded by Weston Oaks, Excel Eye Center was the first group medical practice of any specialty in the state of Utah. When we first opened, our practice treated multiple areas including eyes, ears, nose, and throat. (In fact, some of our earliest charts list treatments for tonsillitis and ear infections.) But starting in the 1930s our practice exclusively focused on eye treatments. Since then, we’ve had a long-standing history of providing world-class eye care throughout the state.
Family Practice

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a common disease that is often (but not always) associated with high pressure in your eye. It is sometimes referred to as the Silent Thief of Sight because it causes no pain or noticeable symptoms until very late in its course. It is still one of the leading causes of visual loss world-wide. Because of this, it is important to have regular exams by your ophthalmologist if there is a family history or if you are over 60 years of age. Glaucoma is a complex disease process but it is very treatable. It does, however, require close monitoring to achieve a good outcome. Many patients with glaucoma will be monitored every 4 to 6 months for the rest of their lives. With careful follow up, most people that are diagnosed with glaucoma will go on to have a normal life with very functional vision.
Ophthalmology
Eye problems can develop at an early age. Scheduling routine eye examinations give children their best chances at optimal eye health throughout their lives. Excel Eye Center provides top-rated children’s ophthalmology services for kids throughout Utah County.
Macular Degeneration
While there is currently no cure for AMD, treatments are available that can prevent severe loss of vision and slow the progression of the disease considerably. At Excel Eye Center, we use specific combinations of vitamins that have been shown to dramatically slow the condition’s progress. In the case of “wet” macular degeneration, we employ medications that can stabilize and even, in some cases, improve vision.
Laser Eye Surgery
Excel Eye Center provides gift cards to go towards eye care and cosmetic services. Gift Cards can be used towards any service including LASIK, optical, facials, laser treatments, and more. Gift card value options include $25, $50, and $100. Enter your information and we will reach out to you shortly.
Cataracts
With age, changes occur in almost all eyes. Between the ages of 60 and 80 years old, the lenses become gradually more cloudy and opaque. When a lens is opaque, this is called a cataract. This process begins to block light from passing through the front of the eye, causing symptoms such as trouble reading in dim lights, glare while driving at night and other difficulties with overall quality of vision. Because it occurs in both eyes and over such a long period of time, many patients do not realize that their symptoms come from a cataract until they are evaluated by an eye doctor in the office.
Cataract Surgery
Cataracts are removed with surgery. This allows light once again to pass through to the inside of the eye and is able to improve vision significantly. While there are many ways to remove a cataract and different techniques and tools utilized, there is no way to remove the lens without physically entering the eye with instruments designed for this delicate surgery. New techniques to more safely perform cataract surgery are being developed each year.
Eye Exam
The condition is commonly diagnosed during routine eye exams. However, if you experience a sudden change in your vision or you notice distortion of straight lines, you should notify your eye care provider. Early detection is extremely important because treatments can delay or reduce the severity of the condition. It’s a good idea to have a dilated eye exam every 1-2 years once you reach 55 years old. After 65, it’s recommended that you have a dilated eye exam every year.

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic eye disease can be treated, and treatments are most effective with early detection of the condition. When the blood vessels in the retina have been affected by diabetic retinopathy, laser surgery has been proven to reduce the risk of severe vision loss by about 60 percent. In the case of macular edema, laser surgery can also be effective to seal leaking blood vessels.

Ultrasound
At the Excel Cosmetic Surgery Clinic, we perform several procedures to make your skin healthier and younger-looking. We use lasers, ultrasound, and other cutting-edge treatment technology to improve your appearance quickly and with little or no pain.

Ear Surgery
Ear surgery (otoplasty) changes the shape and contour of the ears. It is usually performed to reduce the personal anxiety of individuals with outwardly protruding ears.
Reconstructive Surgery
The delicate nature of cosmetic treatments requires the skill of only the most capable medical team. Dr. Todd Engen, M.D., and Dr. Conley B. Call lead the Excel Cosmetic Surgery Center. Dr. Engen specializes in ophthalmic and facial plastic/reconstructive surgery, while Dr. Call specializes in oculofacial and reconstructive facial surgery. Both of our physicians are diplomates on the American Board of Ophthalmology, meaning they have completed rigorous requirements to become certified by a panel of leaders in the Ophthalmology field.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles. It’s used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe crow’s feet lines and frown lines between the eyebrows in adults.
Eyelid Surgery
Cosmetic eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is one of the single most visually rejuvenating facial procedures available today — largely because when others look at a person’s face, the eyes are the focal point of the face. As you age, the skin on your eyelids begins to loosen and droop, which gives the eyes a tired, sad, or grumpy appearance. Blepharoplasty removes excess fat, skin, and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. This corrects drooping upper lids and puffy bags below the eyes, which creates a more rested appearance. A laser is used for the procedure, resulting in less recovery time and better aesthetic results.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes fat deposits on the body, face or neck. Bodily liposuction is used to slim the figure, while facial liposuction can slim facial contours, correct overly round faces, remove double chins and firm sagging jaw areas. This procedure may be carried out at an outpatient surgical facility or at a hospital. Dr. Engen consults with each patient to determine the best place for the surgery to be performed and whether local or general anesthesia will be used. Patients undergoing liposuction usually spend about two to three hours in surgery.
Plastic Surgery
We are honored to have been chosen for the 2022 Utah Valley Magazine Awards for Best Optometry/Ophthalmology & Plastic Surgery.
Face Lift
A facelift (rhytidectomy) helps restore a youthful countenance and eliminates wrinkles and sagging skin. This procedure tightens the skin and muscle on the face and neck and removes excess skin.
Blepharoplasty
The cost of blepharoplasty varies, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the amount of time it will take to perform. Costs normally fall between $2200- $3600. The costs may be reduced if the surgery is performed in conjunction with another procedure under the same anesthesia.
Otoplasty
Cosmetic Surgery
At Excel Cosmetic Surgery Center, we perform a variety of facial cosmetic surgery procedures. These procedures are usually carried out at Excel’s outpatient surgical facility, and present very little health risk to the patient. In each case, recovery time is a week or less.

Skin Cancer
Jane Iredale mineral makeup is one of the most technically advanced cosmetics available anywhere. This makeup is designed as a true extension of skin care and is actually good for your skin. Jane Iredale is also the only makeup line approved by the FDA and recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation.Jane Iredale makeup is a “four in one product” consisting of foundation, powder, concealer, and sunscreen.
Acne Treatment
BLU-U® Blue Light Acne Treatment is an effective alternative to treating acne with drugs or antibiotics. BLU-U® utilizes a special light that kills the acne-causing bacteria in the skin. Treatments are simple and take about 15 minutes. The treatments, which may continue for several weeks, are safe and painless, and can effectively control or clear up acne for long periods of time.
Lesions
Elos™ techology also makes it possible to perform sublative rejuvenation, which improves wrinkles, skin laxity, scars, acne scars, textural irregularities, tone, and superficial skin lesions.
Chemical Peels
Dermaplaning is a safe and highly effective physical exfoliation procedure. This treatment removes the top-most layer of dead skin along with fine, vellus hair (aka peach fuzz). The facial procedure can be performed monthly, in about an hour, with no downtime post-treatment. A chemical peel, enzyme peel or masque can be applied post-dermaplaning if your skin is prepped to do so.
