Patient Reviews
Oct 16, 2024
Dr. Cestari is an amazing surgeon, ever since I was little I always had an issue with my right eye as I got older I started getting double vision and just was getting worse as I got older. Once I received my surgery date and saw him 2 times before he decided to do the procedure on both eyes. I was fairly nervous for the procedure not knowing what to expect and if I could see . The experience was relatively painless ibuprofen , ice only). He is a phenomenal surgeon and has a very nurturing demeanor. He is not only precise, but also patient, caring, and uses easily understood terms and makes you feel calm when he tells you what he will be doing. There's no doubt in my mind that Dr. Cestari is one of the best strabismus surgeons in the world and I highly recommend him. Him and is team as MASS Eye and Ear are amazing!
