I was so excited to reconnect with him at Dr. Filutowski's Eye Institute. He always gives me the facts relating to my eye exam and issues I will be facing as I age. All the staff are dedicated to providing service without any rose colored glasses. This is an annual visit for me to maintain my vision without issues.

The actual cataract surgery was very good. My issue is that I was overcharged significantly and…read moreit's now months later, and I am still waiting for the refund of over $500. My insurance should have been better verified so that I did not spend nearly a $1000 for a procedure that should have cost less than $250. When I returned for the second eye, they were going to charge me again until I explained that I had already overpaid with the first eye. They then applied the overcharge to the second eye. I am still waiting for the remainder to get refunded. My first surgery was April 2, 2026. My second was April 30, 2026. It's now June 17th and it may still be another month before I get the overpayment back.

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".

Dr. James Li saw me promptly for an appointment, conducted an extensive eye exam along with retinal scan, explained precisely why I was experiencing the "shadow effect" in one eye, explained the solution (wait, your brain will adjust, hopefully) and the downside of a lens replacement surgery. He was personable, caring, thorough, and really knows his stuff. Everyone at DiGaetano Cataract Services was professional and efficient. I got a next day appointment, all the nurses handling my case were friendly, warm and professional, and I walked out with all my anxiety abated.
