Patient Reviews
Jun 07, 2022
I have been going to Dr. Gualtieri for over 10 years. My glaucoma has been under control for a while but recently the drops stopped being effective and my pressure was very high at 39. He first tried iridotomies which is a laser procedure but they didn't seem to help so he went ahead with cataract surgery with implementation of a shunt. He explained everything to me prior to the surgery and put my mind at ease. He also had me come in for several post-op appointments to keep an eye of the progress which I really appreciated. Anytime I felt the need to check something in between the appointments, I was always able to get a quick appt. The surgery was successful and I no longer have to wear glasses except for reading. I highly recommend Dr. Gualtieri. He is an excellent and caring doctor and his office staff is great to deal with. A+++++++
