Dr Jabali is one of the kindest, most compassionate and most qualified doctors I have ever known. He truly cares more about his patients than about money. He has been treating me for over a year and if it wasn`t for his expert treatment I would probably be totaly blind by now. I just wish there were more doctors like him. Dr. Jabali even came into his office on a holiday to treat me because the timing of my treatment was vital to my eye health. There are not many doctors this day and age with that kind of dedication.

My brother has severe diabetic macular edema, which affects his vision. We made an appointment at NewsomEye in Sebring and were seen by Dr. El-Jabali. It was determined that my brother needed monthly injections of Avastin, so we began seeing Dr. El-Jabali twice a month. Dr. El-Jabali decided to add an additional injection of Kenalog when my brother’s condition wasn’t improving, which meant we began seeing Dr. El-Jabali three times every other month. As such, we got to know him quite well. In addition to being a superb physician, Dr. El-Jabali is kind, gentle, friendly, professional, has a wonderful bedside manner and is very understanding. My brother is also paranoid schizophrenic. Due to his mental illness, my brother believes all doctors are trying to harm him; however, he likes and is quite comfortable with Dr. El-Jabali, who is the only doctor he will see without acting out. This speaks volumes for Dr. El-Jabali. Both my brother and I highly recommend Dr. El-Jabali.

When I found out I need injections in my eye for my macular degeneration, I was scared. Dr. El-Jabali put me at ease immediately. Personable and knowledgeable, he answered all my questions. The injection was Painless. Highly recommend.

Good Evening Dr, This is your patient Karin. I just want to say thank you for letting God guide your mind, heart, and hands when it came to saving my eyesight. The ey-lea is working wonderfully. I just had scar tissue removed and my lens are clear as day! Tell your wife and patients that you are totally an awesome person!

Really felt comfortable with Dr. El Jabali. He is personable and professional. He has a great sense if humor too. Getting a shot in your eye us not pleasant, but he made it better.
