I am a first year medical student at Florida State University College of Medicine. Being that I am a first year medical student.

I was extremely impressed by Dr. Gulani’s personalized approach to teaching and treating patients. During my visit to the institute, I was subjected to a number of unique cases, all of which were intently explained and demonstrated to both myself and the patient. I believe that it is this patient-centered approach along with his cutting edge techniques which makes Dr. Gulani such a world-renowned physician.

Although I am not a practicing physician yet, I feel as though Dr. Gulani’s mentorship on issues dealing with patient care or as he has termed “high touch” techniques are invaluable in any medical career. In a world where physician’s face-time with patients is on an ever decreasing path, I watched as a world-renowned ophthalmologist took the time to explain to each patient their individual condition, his treatment plan for that condition, and any risks that might be associated with treatment.

It is amazing to see how patients respond to Dr. Gulani’s Corneoplastique– Advanced Laser Vision techniques. The patient’s vision was immediately corrected following surgery and in some cases there were no visible incisions or evidence of surgery, even to other ophthalmologists!

Dr. Gulani is a very personable physician whether it is speaking to a patient, teaching fellows, or interacting with his staff. His personality allows him to be approachable by students with little training or background in ophthalmology, like myself which I feel is key to the learning process. I was able to ask Dr. Gulani questions directly without feeling like I would be chastised for an incorrect response or perhaps an erroneous understanding of the material.

I believe this leniency fosters a free-thinking atmosphere of learning which is paramount to thorough appreciation for the art of ophthalmology.
