I became Dr El Baba's patient when I had a tear in my retina. I was scared and he was very kind to me. He fixed my retina with laser surgery and has followed my case ever since. He is a wonderful Dr. and a kind, caring man. Today I overheard him advocating for new equipment for our vets. (he also works at the VA hospital)Stony Brook is very lucky to have a Dr. like him on staff and we (the patients) are very fortunate to have access to such a gifted Dr. I am so grateful to him for fixing my eye. He is so very nice & he makes me laugh too!!!!
