I had dr Ridner and he ruin my left eye. Every specialist I go to now ask me who did my cataract surgery!! I believe he cut to deep.
Dr. DiStefano is the best!!!!! I would do LASIK eye surgery again if needed. Seamless process and super quick recovery. Can’t recommend her more!
Loved my experience with Dr Distefano and her colleagues. They helped ease my anxiety before, during and after the procedure and gave helpful advice for post surgery. I was thrilled to open my eyes the next day and see better than I have ever seen in my life
I had cataract removal performed on both eyes. My husband has seen Dr Ridner and had good treatment. I am still having alot of trouble with both eyes after surgery and post surgery treatment for fogging/cloudiness in both eyes. I feel they are e driven by the money aspect and the skin care side of the practice. My vision is NOT as good as it was prior to surgery. Eyes water and matter up with alot of eye drops and blurred vision. Not pleased with MD recommended lenses or my present vision
I went to Dr. DiStefano for LASIK corrective surgery on both eyes. She as well as her staff and her facilities are top notch! I went from a -7.25 in both eyes to 20/20 the next day. Dr. DiStefano clearly explained the surgery and the recovery process, so I wasn’t “surprised’ by anything during the days and weeks that followed. I’m extremely happy with my results and would definitely recommend her to anyone that is considering corrective eye surgery! Thank you Dr. DiStefano!
Great doctor very attentive. She tried multiple treatments for my eye pain, and I was giving new prescription for contacts and glasses. Great staff, they are very nice.
