Patient Reviews
Feb 02, 2024
My Ophthalmologist recommended me to Dr. John Alappatt for immediate surgery when he found a hole in my retina, and I could not see out of that eye. I was basically blind in one eye, it came on suddenly, and I was frightened. Dr. Alappatt performed a three hour surgery repairing not only the retina hole, but 10 tears (!) that were discovered during surgery. My retina looked shredded in the before pictures. Now, four months later, the retina looks amazing, my eyesight is 20/30 and still improving, and eye pressure is normal. Dr Alappatt is highly professional and meticulous, as well as being calm and reassuring. He has earned my trust, respect, and admiration. I highly recommend him as a retina specialist!
