Dr. Dana was great, he remembered me from about 8 months ago. He asked how my kids were doing on top of being professional and knowledgeable about my situation. Wish more providers were like him.

This doctor is an academic by choice & a practicing physician by default, something he (& his team members) will be quick to remind to you. From what I’ve read, Dr. Dana is a very accomplished, awarded & recognized figure in the ophthalmologic world... but if you’re interested in gaining anything from him, I’d advise you Google one of his (many) publications, as that’s where his attention & concern both begin & end. He brings zero interest, concern or care to the doctors office. I’ve had numerous appts where the only time he’s even looked me in the eyes was to examine them through the microscope. It’s not unusual that he enter an appt. w/o even acknowledging my presence verbally, continuing to speak “about” me (in the 3rd person) to his fellows, as if I’m not sitting right there, his appearances never lasting over5-6 minutes. God forbid you ever need to contact his team, as you’ll likely just be met with a reminder from Kathy, his secretary, of how very important & respected he is.

Dr. Dana has been my physician for many years. I could not have asked for a better person to care for my eyes. His diagnosis is always right on and he always takes time to answer all my questions.

Dr. Dana changed my life... Several years ago I had major eye surgery and my eye surface didn't heal properly and was scarred. It was always red and very uncomfortable. Dr. Dana performed an amniotic stem cell transplant of conjunctiva and literally regrew the white of my eye. Ever since that time I see him annually and am always grateful for his expertise.

I am so fortunate to have Dr. Reza Dana as my doctor. Dr. Dana is kind, caring, sympathetic and professional. My illness has had me facing some pretty dark days. Having Dr. Dana and his team by my side is definitely what got me through them. Dr. Dana decided I needed a corneal transplant due to a serious infection. This news shocked and frightened me. I was treated with honesty, dignity and respect. I thank Dr. Dana and his team for getting me so far so quickly!!
Sincerely,
Diane Bilis

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Dana?
He had no idea what was causing my sons ulcers, blowing off any questions we had, he got angry stating how many publications he's written, how highly regarded he was, that no one knows everything. His ego was so effected by his lack of knowledge it was shocking. This was the worse experience I've ever had, especially being that my son was there, making his ongoing eye problems seem like a lost cause. I have no idea how this man can still be practicing. Looks good on paper but horrible dr.

I had a very rare case of amoebic infection that, in the end, could only be handled with surgery. He performed my cornea transplant and I have not had any complications since. I felt I was in the very best of care under Dr. Dana. Every doctor who has examined my eye since has commented on how well it was done.
