Patient Reviews
Oct 14, 2025
Dr. Cestari performed surgery for my adult onset strabismus. It is 4 days post-op, and my recovery is going well. There is so little discomfort that I don’t even need acetaminophen. I am so excited that I’m back to single vision! I wish I had undergone the surgery long ago. I highly recommend Dr. Cestari. He is thorough, caring, and an amazing surgeon.
