I was troubled with tons floaters in both eyes parked in my center of vision. Dr. Gelareh Abedi performed vitrectomy on both eyes (at different times) and now I have crystal clear vision with not a single floater. I cannot tell you how thankful I am of her.

dr abedi was my dr about 4 years ago in san Antonio texas, at the texas diabetes institute. she was an angel that god sent to me. she is such a very respectful, professional and beautiful dr. she did so many laser surgeries on both my eyes, vastin injections and vitrous surgery. she was on top of everything, took great care of me, and I will always remember that one day she looked at me and said IM NOT GOING TO LET YOU GO BLIND!!! I honestly believe that shes an angel sent by god to work on my eyes, I also honestly believe that if it wasn't for dr abedi, I woul have gone blind. I thank god for this angel that he sent to work on my eyes, I remember that I literally cried tears when she left, I was so heart broken, especially because I didn't get to say bye and wish her luck and thank her from the bottom of my heart, so DR ABIDI [MY ANGEL] THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID FOR ME, FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART , THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!! i also believe that other people needed my angel to… also go work on their eyes,, so i couldn't be selfish and mad at the fact that she left, i know other people needed her too. now when drs have examined my eyes. they all ask me, WHO DID ALL THESE SURGERIES ON YOU AND I TELL THEM DR ABEDI AND THEY ALL SAY [and honest to god I'm not lying] NICE, SHE DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB ON YOU!!! THANK YOU AGAIN DR ABEDI...I MISS YOU SO MUCH!!
