Dr. Joseph Parelman, MD

My review is secondhand, but it is from the viewpoint of a very upset daughter. Dr. Parelman preformed cataract surgery on my mother 4 years ago. She has suffered terribly since thing. We have now taken her to another doctor to learn that due to a pre-existing condition THAT HE DIAGNOSED a different process should have been followed before preforming the surgery. Not only that, the exact steps, recovery time, follow-up appointment schedule, etc. were not communicated to my mother.

I was very concerned about having pterygium surgery. I read about it on the Internet and it sounded like there was a lot of pain involved. I discussed this with Dr. Parelman. I am a Doubting Thomas!!

He did a great job and seemed to understand my nervousness.
