The best Ophthalmologist I ever had! Has courage to take on really difficult cases!

The true measure of a doctor is when he/she has courage to take on difficult cases and help patients in the worst cases or hopeless cases where others give up.
There are too many doctors who just care about ratings and pick easy cases so their statistics looks good.
I had a history of many issues with both of my eyes: severe myopia and astigmatism corrected many years ago with LASIK, floaters, retina tear, presbyopia, Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV).
I started losing vision in one eye having 20/200 vision in that eye. Two years ago one Ophthalmologist told me: “I do not know what is wrong with your eye there is nothing much that can be done.” I lived depressed for one year before I decided to go to another Ophthalmologist. This second doctor also told me that there is not much hope and treated me with many uncomfortable injections into my eyeball over 6 months that had no effect on my vision. I went to the third Ophthalmologist then the fourth was Dr. Gillette.
He immediately identified that major problem why I have such poor vision is due to cataract not CNV. He told me that due to LASIK I had in the past we may have challenge to match the perfect lens. He was right. After second surgery my far vision is around 20/30 without any additional lenses thanks to Dr. Gillette! I was almost blind in one eye and other doctors told me it only will get worse.
I wish Dr. Gillette never retires and will be able to help many more difficult or hopeless cases like mine.
I also found even more severe case than mine where Dr. Gillette helped pioneer new solutions and help literally blind people see. Search for Komo 4 news video: “Mini telescope type device helps the blind see again”.
I will be thankful to Dr. Gillette through the rest of my life. He did not give up where other doctors did.

Every time I went to see him, there was an hour wait. He took the same tests over and over, and then gave me no help after my surgery results were less than he had promised. I was very disappointed in his ability to help me. I will not go back to him.
