Patient Reviews
Apr 06, 2023
Dr Wittpenn performed cataract and cornea cell transplant on my eye. I had other opinions before I chose him. All of them explained to me that I could wind up blind in the eye and need a total cornea transplant rather than a partial due to the near total deterioration of my cornea and the need to remove a cataract during the same surgery. The surgeons I saw for second opinions on a treatment plan, both recommended Dr Wittpenn over their own practice acknowledging him to be an excellent surgeon, a leader in his field. Dr. Wittpenn explained my condition and the surgery, answered all my questions and always asked if I had any more before I left. The surgery Dr Wittpenn performed brought me amazing results that beat expectations, and there was no trauma to my eye. I am very grateful he was my surgeon.
