Stefano did my cateract surgery. It was worst med experience of my life. I was 1st patient Mond morng. He was over hr late & angry & fussing @ nurses when he arrived. After surgery I had severe excruciating pain all day. @ followup visit next am, this was my chief complaint. They weren’t concerned about it. Their med records for that & other follow up visits never mentioned it. 1 month later I made them do another exam. Immediately, without explanation, they got me an emergency appt with a retinal specialist who said I had post vitreous separation, retinal tear and retinal separation. This specialist tried to repair the tear but left me with a huge floater that obstructs my vision now 2 yrs later. After 2 years of treatment, I’m left with worse vision than before. I have epiretinal membrane & a macular pucker. My brain can’t bring vision from both eyes together. Johns Hopkins says that there is nothing that can be done w/o significant downside risk.
I would never recommend Stefano b/c of this &unconcerned follow up care.

Dr. Stefano performed cataract surgery on me and now I have blurred vision. He says there is nothing he can do to correct my vision. He schedules surgery every 15 minutes, which in my opinion is not enough time to properly perform a surgery of this importance. I would not recommend Dr. Stenfano to perform cataract surgery.
