Good morning, Dr. Sebag. National Doctor’s Day is a great opportunity for me to thank you for your expertise, guidance and passion in treating my AMD. I’m fortunate you included me as a patient almost three years ago. You have made a significant difference in the quality of my life. Cheers to all of your impressive accomplishments as a doctor and to good health!

I’ve known Dr. Sebag and VMR institute for a long time because Dr. Sebag performed several surgeries for my both eyes to clear floaters. I had serious complication after cataract surgery performed by another ophthalmologist early this year. Eye pressure elevated so high due to complication. I thought I was going to go blind and the pain was so unbearable at night. I was really scared. I was admitted to surgery center immediately right next day after my eye was evaluated and diagnosed. Dr. Sebag was not available for surgery at the time, so Dr. Gui performed the surgery. My first impression of Dr. Gui was that he communicated with a patient very well in a professional and courteous manner. He gave me a lot of peace of mind before the surgery. After several months later, the surgery turns out to be very successful without any side-effect or complication. My both eyes have clear 20/20 vision without floaters. They are in perfect condition. I highly recommend VMR institute because it has the best doctors in greater Los Angeles area. They can perform very complicated eye surgeries that only a very few skilled doctors can perform.

In 2000, I was at the peak of my career both professionally, serving as a Police SWAT Commander, and physically fit, having competed in 3 Ironman Triathlons), when my life was suddenly disrupted by a detached retina in my left eye. “Disrupted” is an understatement! I was more in a state of shock after having been initially examined and told I may have suffered a minor stroke. Through a fate of luck, I was referred to Dr. Sebag whom I met in his previous office in Huntington Beach. Dr. Sebag examined me and immediately determined I had suffered a detached retina and not a minor stroke. My options were limited because I had suffered the detachment the previous day and the thought of losing my eyesight in my left eye was frightening. Dr. Sebag explained my options “firmly” but in a very detailed manner and within hours performed a Pneumatic Retinopexy on my left eye. I subsequently returned for follow up examinations by Dr. Sebag. My vision was completely restored and I subsequently returned in the following months to have some additional work done on both eyes as preventative measures. My visits with Dr. Sebag then became yearly merely to examine both eyes. The words on this page cannot in anyway do justice reference my opinion of Dr. Sebag. He is brilliant! The consummate professional in every sense of the word, yet he personable and sincerely cares about his patients. He takes the time to not only speak to his patients, but teach and comfort them regarding their concerns, and fears, this I can attest to personally. After having my suffered my retinal detachment, I started researching anything I could get my hands on reference retinal and vitreous fluid detachments, surgical options, preventative measures, and many questions to ask Dr. Sebag. Although extremely busy with other patients, he took the time to answer my questions, then left the examining room and returned shortly with copies of additional research data, plus a research book he had authored reference my concerns and questions. Additionally, I would like to clarify a comment I previously made. I mentioned earlier that when first examined by Dr. Sebag, he explained my options rather “firmly.” I mention that comment again because it’s exactly what I needed at the time. I was in a state of shock, discouraged and yes, I was feeling sorry for myself. I saw myself as this tough cop, and Ironman Triathlete! Dr. Sebag handled me perfectly. He explained the procedure, what to expect, my recovery, what he expected from me and in subsequent visits I saw a side of Dr. Sebag that I had failed to initially see. Over the years I have referred colleagues to Dr. Sebag who have complimented both he and his staff. Thank you Dr. Sebag and the entire staff at VMR Institute on behalf of my entire family and my professional colleagues whom you have treated.

I am 83.5. I have had Macula Degeneration on and off for many years. My vision had been progressively deteriorating for many years. Years ago I had laser photo-coagulation surgery twice by a surgeon in Beverly Hills. During the past five years my central vision and a significant portion of my peripheral vision was totally gone and becoming worse. I believed I would be very fortunate if only I could retain the remaining impaired vision I had. My mother had become totally blind from the identical condition. I expected the same result. Recently Dr. Jerry Sebag has been treating my “Wet Macular Degeneration” for perhaps a year and a half. He has been injecting Lucentis into my right eye every 30 days. Every month since his treatment began, my vision has noticeably improved. The dark totally blind central area is totally gone. I can now read 3 lines on the eye chart. My vision continues to improve. Over the past 40 years my eyes have been treated by the best and most famous surgeons. Dr. Jerry Sebag is a brilliant and internationally acclaimed Ophthalmic Surgeon. He is a professor at the USC School of Medicine, and with the Doheny Eye Institute in Los Angeles. He recently published a 925 page treatise that is likely to become the reference hand book for all ophthalmologists. He regularly lectures to ophthalmologists around the world. My improving vision has enabled me to continue to operate my business. “hollywoodfurnishedapartments.com”. Dr. Jerry Sebag does create miracles.
