I discovered I was having trouble opening my eyes. My condition left my eyelids feeling very heavy and at times, I had to concentrate to open them wide. I attributed this to normal aging and tried to pay it no attention. But after a couple of years my condition was much worse. This led to a change in lifestyle, because it became increasing hard to do normal everyday activities like driving and doing artwork. I finally acknowledged I had a problem and needed help. My doctor recommended Dr. Thomas J. Conti. This turned out to be a great recommendation!
I needed a doctor like Dr. Conti. You will find him to be very approachable and easy going, as well as being an excellent physician and surgeon!
Needing surgery (especially on a part of the body as delicate as the eye), you want a compassionate doctor, proven in his/her field. One that treats you like a fellow human - not just another patient.
A smart doctor knows this helps to alleviate patient fears, which in turn lessons patient stress - which contributes to a more successful operation and recovery.
For my type of surgery, I was awake, but given an analgesic to rid me of any pain. While, Dr. Conti's calming presence freed me of any stress. We held a conversation all throughout my surgery. I had no time to allow fear to enter my mind. I was made at ease and it was just like talking to an old friend.
He was even willing to speak with my daughter, who had her own fears about my surgery - putting her mind at rest.
He is a skilled surgeon who has mastered his craft to a fine point. I would recommend his services to any of my family and friends. read more
