K. Ahmed
Professor at University of Toronto

I have interviewed literally thousands of doctors over the course of the last 20 years, and I must say Dr.Gulani is one of the most amazing I have ever encountered.

The fact that he goes the extra distance for the people he meets is a key attribute of a world-class surgeon.

Dr Gulani has a unique perspective on how he surgically analyzes the eye as a total optical system. With this type of approach he is able to rehabilitate eyes with various types of corneal and lenticular issues to achieve superb visual results. I look forward to reading and learning from his upcoming book regarding this art of vision surgery.

I believe this book will be a bible for the refractive cataract surgeon and an indispensable resource for our specialty.

I would like to strongly recommend Dr. Arun Gulani, both for his academic ability and his clinical and surgical expertise. He is well known both nationally and internationally as a leading expert in the field of corneal and refractive surgery. We have been instructing together at several courses given during major national and international congresses. He has been often invited to these meetings, where he has discussed his innovations in the of refractive surgery an LASIK in particular. He is a highly ethical physician, very easy to get along with, yet, well organized, effective, and able to teach and inspire others.

15 years ago after having read several articles of Dr. Gulani in ophthalmic publications I met him personally in the American Academy of Refractive Surgery held in the city of San Francisco, I assisted to his conference and since that date have been in several international symposiums together and have maintained constant communication with him.

Dr. Gulani has a great reputation as a leader in Cornea and Laser Refractive surgery, known worldwide, innovator and discoverer of surgical techniques. He has perfected Lasik surgery and has shared his knowledge in many countries with the spirit of professor.

I know him as a person with solid and actualized scientific background and honest in his presentations and statistic information.

I am confident that his professional trajectory can place him at a top level within any organization, city or state.

Dr. Gulani I congratulate you for your professional personality.

Regards,

I know Dr. Arun Gulani and his leading work. He is an active teacher at ASCRS and AAO, and runs every year, a very good course on cornea and laser refractive surgeries, which I have shared with top world renowned ophthalmologists (Dr. Herbert Kaufman, from LSU, Dr. Miles Friedlander from Tulane etc.) I think he is an excellent surgeon, an innovative leader, a hard worker and shall make a mark in the world of eye surgery.

Dr. Gulani without a doubt is one of the most famous and futuristic eye surgeons in the world and that at such a young age is simply fascinating.Being an International teacher and eye surgeon myself, I am so impressed that I have determined to travel to Jacksonville to learn from him.

Dr. Arun Gulani is a well known eye specialist that has reached an outstanding place among the teachers and leaders in the world of cornea and refractive surgery. I first met Dr. Gulani in an international meeting of the Keratomileusis study group, more than seven years ago, where he was invited as one of the guest speakers.

Ever since I have followed his career as a leader in the field of cornea and refractive surgery and he was invited to Colombia to one of our major international meeting as a guest professor in the field of Corneal and Laser surgery and diseases.

His enthusiasm and dedication to this medical subspecialty makes him valuable addition to any group or scientific organization willing to develop a high quality Professional eye care.

Dr. Gulani is well known in the area of Corneal and Laser Refractive surgery in the major international meetings. He is therefore to be considered an emerging profession, young and promising, with a great potential. My relationship with him is purely professional. I have invited him to speak at some of my courses in European and American meetings. He was nominated Honorary Professor of our University (University of Alicante, Spain) this year to increase this collaboration, as he has important experience in some areas, in which we are interested such as advanced eye surgery & keratoprophesis. He is creative and likes to deal with emergent topics and surgical technique. He is easy –going person and has a warm personality.

With my best personal regards,

I have closely followed Dr. Gulani’s career in the United States, read his papers and attended several of the courses he gave at the American Society of Cataract & Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) and other places. I had the honor of hosting him at one of my meetings, the Quintessence of Ophthalmology in Szekesfehervar (Hungary) in 2000, which was an international gathering of leading ophthalmologists of the world. He made an excellent impression with his innovative techniques in refractive surgery, as well as his original works in ultrasonic diagnostic imaging. He is an excellent lecture who prepares his papers well, unbiased and informative. He follows his patients carefully. In his papers and lectures he utilizes his own growing and well-observed, well- followed experiences as well as a careful reading of the literature.

In my experience he accepts only invitations and commitments that he can keep. He is a very, very good teacher and charming, pleasant man, a reliable researcher and a reliable friend. He strives to excel in everything he undertakes. He is a committed family man with two children, so he doesn’t accept everything just for the sake of raking up titles, honors and expanding his list of lectures and publications. He only accepts those where he can really contribute to our art and science.

I am a fellowship-trained corneal specialist and refractive surgeon, and a managing partner of Ocala Eye, PA. I was an instructor at the American Academy of Ophthalmology for corneal transplantation training and have co-authored textbooks on corneal diseases and surgery.

I have read several articles and peer-reviewed studies on Dr. Gulani’s work.

As a corneal specialist I deal with difficult cases referred to me by general ophthalmologists. But occasionally I have cases which are especially challenging – these I have sent to Dr. Gulani. His corneoplastique techniques have had some impressive results. Patients have been very satisfied that there is an option for their unusual problems and quite happy with their results.

I am impressed by the personal attention that Dr. Gulani gives to each patient. In addition, he always calls me directly to discuss each patient’s situation and status, and this adds a nice personal touch.

Dr. Peter Polack

Dr. Gulani is highly professional in his presentation of information (both the quality of slide and video films, as well as content), response towards questions from the audience and panel, as well as on an inter-personal basis during social events as well as tea / coffee sessions. • He was able to grasp what the general level of proficiency of the audience was, and was able to aim at the right level of academic input.

I experienced Dr. Gulani as an ambitious, dedicated, logical and sincere person, with a quest for perfection. It was a pleasure to talk to him and discuss work, social, as well as general issues. I was impressed by him in such a way, that I’m committed to visit your facility in Jacksonville when I will be traveling to the US next year DV. I listed him as one of my personal international contacts for the future.

If we would be approached by any society or institution, we would be happy to recommend him in a very positive way.

Dr. Kyle Abshire

Dr. Gulani is an artist at what he does.

Dr. Wayne Wood

Dr. Gulani is a pioneer in the field of eye care. As a referring doctor, I am confident my patients are going to get the best care the world has to offer.

Dr. Michael Lange

When passion and goals align, we get a Tiger Woods, a Michael Jordan and an Arun Gulani.

Jeff Shearer

He is a pioneer! Maybe one in 100,000 eye surgeons can perform what Dr. Gulani does. That is why I chose him for my Laser eye surgery.

Dr. Jay Gallaty

I travelled to Jacksonville, Florida to witness Dr. Gulani’s futuristic techniques and am amazed by the results. It was an honor to witness a Master Surgeon.

Dr. Prof Eduardo Sevenster

My experience at Gulani Vision Institute has been Marvelous and an Eye Opener!I was also inspired. 20/20 is achievable!

There is hope for patients who are uncorrected with contact lenses or glasses too. Patients with previous Lasik can also get 20/20 vision.

It was exciting to hear patients at Gulani Vision Institute report how their eye is much better and they see great and also wishing they had done surgery earlier.

Dr. Gulani is an excellent teacher, very knowledgeable. He is very patient and is a role model.

I am challenged and inspired with Dr.Gulani’s dedication and passion to bettering the lives of people and improving vision.
