I unfortunately have many specialists I have to see on a regular basis. Dr Esmaili is, by far, my favorite Dr of all of my Drs - not just my specialist. He is knowledgeable, kind, takes time to get to know you, adjust his approach to individual needs, funny, he’s the full package!! And….he doesn’t use eye clamps. That’s huge!! His technique allows him to keep your eye open for the shot without the uncomfortable clamp….it makes a huge difference in the experience. Seriously, I moved an hour away and I still drive to come see Dr Esmaili. And I’ve already told him when I retire he has to come with us wherever we go. LOL.
