A year ago I had cataract surgery with Dr. Gulani. He replaced the natural lens of both my eyes…read morewith toric lenses that happened to also fix my presbyopia. It s a risky procedure, because I had previous lasik complications that made my corneas too thin. So, Dr. Gulani had to operate through the eye sclera. Other doctors refused to perform the surgery, because my cataracts were still young. The medical insurance didn't want to pay the procedure either. But I chose Dr. Gulani because I am a young professional and I want to improve the quality of life and productivity to the fullest potential. The surgery was a success, and now I am back to surgery with Dr. Gulani for a follow up procedure: to open up the posterior capsule retaining my eye lenses, which had become hazy. I want to provide testimony that Dr. Gulani and all of his staff are very professional and caring, and that Dr. Gulanihas the intrinsic goal of going above and beyond for his patients. If you have a complicated eye condition and other doctors have refused treatment, please consider Dr. Gulani. He is an expert on his field, and guards jealously the quality of his work. That is why I don't hesitate to come to him. That is why I recommend him dearly.

My experience with Dr. Gulani (TLDR version: Did not help my vision, dishonest, all hype, STEER…read moreCLEAR!) I try to avoid writing negative reviews, but I feel that the Gulani "hype" needs to be exposed to help save others from falling for it like I did. My history before visiting Dr. Gulani: I got RK in the '90s, 16 cuts in each eye. Left eye not so bad (20/30). Right eye was worse (20/50); I had been wearing a scleral lens for the last 10 years. It was great (easily 20/20) but as I got older, it was no longer correcting my vision enough, so I wanted to visit Dr. Gulani with the goal of not having to wear contacts or reading glasses. During the consultation, he promised me, "you'll be able to read and see far without glasses or lenses." I got the LaZrPlastique in the right eye in January 2026. My biggest worry was that it wouldn't correct my vision enough and I'd still need to get a new scleral to see clearly. Wow, was I wrong on multiple fronts. First off, my vision actually GOT WORSE after Dr. Gulani's surgery (20/100). If you're an RK patient, you know about multiple images--sit in a dark room with a single LED about 10 feet away (such as the red LED on a TV that's off). An RK patient will see a pattern of multiple LEDs due to the irregular astigmatism. Well, that pattern got LARGER (spread out more), not smaller, after LaZrPlastique. In simple terms, I now have "double vision." In technical terms, my astigmatism went from 2.4 D to 2.9 D as measured by an Oculus Pentacam. Second, perhaps the more disturbing aspect, is Dr. Gulani's response regarding astigmatism. I mentioned the Pentacam map and my multiple images and he basically shouted that I'm stupid, that "topography isn't vision...refraction is vision!" Well, guess what? He destroyed my topography and now I can't see! Refraction means nothing if you're seeing multiple of everything. I don't think he understands how important topography is (duh, why do you think scleral lenses work so well for us?). Third, he flat-out lied to me and said, "you're the only patient that has had this complaint." Any fool can read reviews and find numerous instances of similar results, and those reviews basically follow the same path--poor results, Dr. Gulani denies it, he tells them to just "wait for it to heal." I'm not stupid; I know it's healed, and I'm not going to waste ten years waiting to see if it heals more. And if you carefully study the Yelp reviews, you'll notice this swarm of invalidated positive reviews in bunched-up timeframes...faked, forced, or both? To be fair, the staff were all really nice and it's quite the experience the whole week you're there. But looking back, it seems like more of a big circus. "Well, that procedure is normally this price, but for you it's lower." How gimmicky is that? Dr. Gulani is so pompous, it'll make you vomit...the office is a shrine to his ego. He goes on and on about he's the only one who can do what he does, making a big show of "did my Canada patient land yet?" I think it's all in his head; his sense of self-importance is so inflated and I don't know if he's capable of admitting failure. I'm not going to sue him; I knew it was a gamble going in. I just didn't think the "best in the world" could possibly do such a bad job. I'm guessing his true success rate is much lower than the hype would lead you to believe. I'm sure Dr. Gulani has helped many people. I think if you have very low astigmatism (less than 0.5 D) but need a major refraction adjustment (let's say you're 20/200), Dr. Gulani might be able to take you down to 20/40. But because he's only doing PRK and not TG-PRK, he can't clear up your irregular astigmatism. Oh, and he called my local eye doctor a buffoon for writing "patient went to Florida to have surgery by a doctor who claims he can fix RK." Yeah. Real professional. I wish I got paid $20,000 a day and wasn't accountable for the results.

This time in 2020 was even longer since they had to dilate my eyes (didn't tell me in advance). They don't accept vision insurance so I had to pay for the whole visit (I have high deductible medical insurance). I did have a medical issue so that was ok, just fyi. The dilation cost an extra $50 (which I was not told at the time). I actually didn't want it, but the aide said the doctor wouldn't see me if I didn't. I had to go back to work and didn't want blurry vision. It's not that they used the high-tech machine which I know costs more. The cost was $185 in all. As a patient it's hard breathe when you have a mask on and your face pushed into the machine. The front desk worker at the window didn't have a mask on, but patient were required to wear one. I think she later put one on when I came back to the window. The Dr is very nice and I think she's a good doctor but not worth waiting that long There were three office workers and you'd think they'd plan longer appointment times for patients, since she takes so long. I'll find a new ophthalmologist next time.
