Patient Reviews
Oct 28, 2025
I cannot recommend Dr. Anesi and his team at MERSI highly enough. Choosing them for my father's cataract surgery was one of the best decisions we've ever made, and the results have been life changing. From the moment of the initial consultation, Dr. Anesi was a beacon of calm confidence and thorough expertise. They took the time to explain the procedure in a way which was clear and reassuring, addressing all of our concerns with patience. They made both my father and me feel completely comfortable and informed every step of the way. The surgery at Surgisite Boston, Waltham, MA was seamless. The entire staff and surgical team are truly remarkable. My father felt very well cared for. The outcome is truly remarkable, within a day, my states he is seeing the world with entirely new clarity. He constantly remarks on the vibrancy of colors and the sharpness of details he thought he had lost.
