A brilliant, caring physician who was well worth the 6 hour drive. He may have potentially saved my son's vision. He gave us advice and suggestions that my child's previous physician had not and possibly discovered an underlying condition as to why his problems occurred. Dr. Trese is a God in my eyes.

Dr. Trese is a gift! He treated me with so much respect--listening, presenting options, taking a thorough, careful examination...and this was all on my premature twin babies, whom he handled with kindness and gentleness. I hear he's amongst the best in his field, internationally. I think a man of his caliber who is humble and respectful speaks volumes about his character.

Was very pleased with the visit. Our 3.5hr drive to meet him was worthwhile, wish he lived closed to the place where we live.
