Patient Reviews
Mar 14, 2024
I was referred to Dr. Stephen Anesi by Dr. Karalckas from Marlborough, Mass. I had Cataract Surgery on Feb 19, 2024 and March 4, 2024 by Dr. Stephen Anesi. Dr. Anesi was amazing from the first visit to the final visint on March 13, 2024. My quality of life after the cataract surgery was excellent. After the surgery my quality of life came back where I could see colors 10x better including Purple which I could not distinguish from blue before. I had stopped driving at night and now I can see excellent. I am reading books, seeing my dashboard on my car, sunrises and sunsets that I cannot even describe the colors that I am seeing. One problem that I had before the surgery is that I could not identify people that I knew. I now can see everyone's face very well. I am in awe for the dramatic life changing surgery that has made me so happy. I look at this surgery as a miracle yes a miracle. Thank you Dr. Anesi and I thank God for this.

About Me

Care Philosophy
  • Dr. Anesi is dedicated to making sure his patients are well informed and educated about their ocular conditions and what treatments are best suited to them. He believes in forming a partnership with his patients, and his recommendations are intended to guide them with both immediate and long-term concerns. He strives to offer the most complete care possible for all patients and to minimize the risk of vision loss by discussing a proactive approach. Testing and management decisions, including surgical discussions, are typically performed in a single visit. Same day appointments are usually available and new patients are often seen within 1-2 weeks if not sooner.
