I went to her office in The Villages and indicated I needed surgery for a severly torn retina the next day. I usually like to study my options but Dr Kesen was compassionate and knowledgeable. My impressioin was she had the confidence and experrence to perform this delicate surgery. I was afraid but decided to put my faith iin Dr. Kesen. The surgery went well. The recovery in a face down position was uncomfortable and the stiches in my eye were irritating but after 3 weeks, my field of view has been restored. My vision is improving but still a little blurry in the right eye. The vision quality takes 2-6 months to stabilize. I am optimistic with the results especially compared to my vision before the surgery. While in the face down position I had a chance to read.

I had gone through three unsuccessful retina surgeries with another doctor who told me I was part of a rare 4% with no treatment options. My retina was left in poor condition--a loose buckle, unremoved scar tissue, and not enough silicone oil to protect the eye. I was devastated. Then I found Dr. Venzara. He was thorough, kind, and honest. He immediately identified the problems and performed a complex surgery that lasted over 2.5 hours. Since that surgery in September, my retina has remained attached. I had a follow-up surgery in March to remove the oil, and there's been no scar tissue regrowth since. While the previous damage couldn't be undone, Dr. Venzara gave me the best possible outcome and peace of mind. I'm so grateful for his skill and integrity. If you're facing a difficult retinal condition, don't give up--go see Dr. Venzara. - Dahlia Freeman

Cataract surgery is one of the most often performed surgeries in the USA, and the surgery has…read morearound a 98% success rate. I am sorry to say that things did not work out well for me. Dr. Gilmer placed the artificial lens in an area which the lens manufacturer does not recommend and that caused exfoliation material from my iris clogging up the eyes drainage network. The clogging of the drainage network caused very high eye pressure that could not be relieved with medicinal eye drops. A second surgery was performed to reset the lens, however, resetting the lens did not relieve the very high eye pressure. Dr. Gilmer told me that if the high eye pressure was not quickly corrected I would lose my vision in that eye. He offered to do a laser surgery, but by that time, for several reasons which I will explain later, I had lost all confidence in Dr. Gilmer. I contacted a glaucoma specialist who performed four additional surgeries before the high eye pressure was sufficiently relieved. I estimate that I have lost around 75 to 80% of my vision in that eye. While being treated by Dr. Gilmer I was subjected to verbal abuse on two occasions and he blamed me for the surgery going wrong and that could not be further from the truth. I am in excellent health and have a very good immune system. It is my opinion that Dr. Gilmer tries to come across as a very friendly and caring physician and at first he fooled me. However, when the going got tough he was far from charming or caring. It is my opinion that he blames others for his short comings and that underneath his charming exterior lurks one of the "entitled".
