Cataract surgery on both eyes during the month of October 2017. Dr. Cortelli and his staff do a great job. The results of my surgery were outstanding.

I had cataract surgery on one eye. Outpatient surgical facility was next door. PCO fix was done quickly in office at follow-up appt. (no separate appt required) I do have slight ND (negative disphotopsia) following surgery. I just read that it only happens with "a perfect surgery," which sounds rather oxymoronic. I'm pretty sure I have the IOL that is supposed to prevent/minimize it, but I have ND anyway. It's not very noticeable, so I don't think it is worth having a repeat surgery, which might not help anyway.

Dr. Cortelli performed my cataract few weeks ago. Surgery was pain-free, wonderful experience. I would recommend him to anyone. His surgery time was less than 10 minutes, and right away I could see a huge difference. Very nice, sweet surgeon, he's the best. Professional staff at the office as well as the surgery center. I highly recommend him.
