I had an advanced pterygium. There was some blurriness with the feeling that something was pulling on my eye

I was referred by my friend in Jacksonville who had had the same surgery done by Dr. Gulani and Highly Recommended that I come all the way from Tampa to Dr. Gulani

The procedure was performed in such a professional and skilled manner that I felt no anxiety.  Nor did I experience any pain.

Dr. Gulani presents himself in a warm, professional manner that assurs the patient that he not only knows what he is doing, but he cares about his patients well-being, as well as enhancing their knowledge of the overall process.

He exudes excellent skill regarding his ability to encourage patients to have a solid education with their unique procedure.  The warmth that I felt from staff and Dr. Gulani helped to ease any pre-surgery anxiety.  His surgical skill are done in such a manner that I felt no discomfort and surprised to see very little surgical after effects.  He has excellent skills.

I already have recommended Dr. Gulani to a relative.  Now my relative can see the positive post surgical effects from my surgery that will encourage him to have his surgery done by one of the best.

I had an aggressive recurrent pterygium in my right eye. I conducted extensive research on the internet and received second and third opinions from various doctors to determine my treatment options. From my research, I became alerted to the industry leading expertise of Dr. Gulani and his method to remove pterygiums.

This unique procedure removes the entire pterygium and utilizes an amniotic membrane graft. I was eager to meet with Dr. Gulani; however, I live in San Diego, CA and would have to travel a good distance to Jacksonville for the procedure.

Throughout my experience with Dr. Gulani and his staff, I was treated professionally and they made sure all my questions were answered. I felt confident I had made the right decision after meeting with Dr. Gulani for the very first time.

With this said, I was most impressed with the personal attention I received. For example, besides regular calls from Dr. Gulani's office to check on my healing process, Dr. Gulani himself came to the hotel where I was staying after the surgery to check on me and to see if I needed anything.

To say the least I was very happy with my experience with Dr. Gulani and his staff.

Thank you again Dr.Gulani, for your time and your help.

I was losing the vision in my right eye because of a very large pterygium that made me look like I was drunk all the time and I don’t drink. Eye was red all the time

I think Dr.Gulani is a great doctor. He really cares, makes you feel a part of the process from day one and he returns your call

Not only did he remove my very advanced Pterygium with his Corneoplastique technique but also performed a special Laser vision correction on this eye.

Not only is my eye clear but I am seeing 20/20 without those heavy glasses.

I wish Dr. Gulani could put his skills in a bottle and give them to other doctors.

My eye looks great and I will not have to answer all the questions about what was wrong with my eye, or having all the redness in it anymore.

Dr. Gulani is a great person who really cares about his patients and is not there just to make a dollar.

He is a great surgeon. Just look at my eye and talk to his other patients. He really cares how you feel and what you think he could do to benefit future patients.

I have already been talking to a friend in Oklahoma City and he wants to come to Jacksonville to the Gulani Vision Institute for an appointment.

We are impressed not only with Dr.Gulani’s surgical expertise but also with the warm and personalized care that he provided to my parents after the surgery.

They are safely back in the Philippines and the eye is doing very well.

I had an advanced pterygium and corneal scar and my eye was red and irritated all the time.  Not only did it look bad, it had begun to affect my vision.  My vision was blurred and my eye was tired most of the time and my eye doctor referred me to Dr. Gulani.

My experience at the Gulani Vision Institute was wonderful.

I immediately was impressed with Dr. Gulani.  He is passionate about what he does.  He is very knowledgeable and wants his patients to be comfortable about the procedure.  He's very personable.

My eye looks great and my vision in my right eye is better than before the surgery.

I feel Dr. Gulani is a great surgeon, extremely knowledgeable and he genuinely care about his patients and their outcome.
