Testimonials
Dear Dr. Siwoff and Staff:
There are no words to express my gratitude. After ten long years of living with macular degeneration and its consequences, I am seeing the world with new eyes! It's impossible to tell you how wonderful it is to see the beautiful faces of my grandchildren, the leaves on the trees, the flowers in my garden--the list can go on and on. Last year we made a trip to the Grand Canyon--I didn't know what I missed until we went back this year. It had been raining on and off the day we were there. We left the Canyon very late in the afternoon and stopped to have our dinner. We decided, in spite of the rain, to go back to the Canyon and try to catch the sunset. As we pulled into the parking area, the sun broke thru the clouds and a beautiful rainbow appeared over the Canyon. It was a spectacular sight! I never would have been able to see that without my new glasses. It was a gift beyond belief!
When I put these glasses on for the first time and you tested my vision, you said it was a "miracle". My vision had improved from 20/400 in one eye and 20/700 in the other to 20/80 and 20/50. Indeed, it was a miracle! You also said that you really had nothing to do with it--that it was not of your making, but God's. I have to disagree somewhat. God performs miracles, but not alone. He works through people! If you never became the doctor you are, this "miracle" would never have occurred.
Ten years ago, I had to surrender my driver's license. I am now studying the driving manual and plan to take my written test next month. Another miracle! Each time I pick up a book to read, I think to myself--another miracle! My life is filled with miracles each day and I am overwhelmed with gratitude. You have truly changed my life!
I am a sincerely grateful patient.

Dear Dr. Siwoff and Rachel Rose,
Wow…That’s all I can say. The last 3 years since L---‘s* accident have been horrible. Within the first 5 minutes with L---, you said things that no one would know except people close to him. I was so impressed.
Now the best part. L--- fought me on his sight problem. I will NEVER forgot the birth of my son and his re-birth after the accident, but I will now ALWAYS remember the look and sounds that came out of him when he put his glasses on. When we were driving home he said to me, I will wear those glasses 24 hours a day so NOW I can see my dreams in FULL.
I truly believe that this miracle will also change a lot of his frustrations and give him a new attitude on life. His [child] is very important to him and even though he thought he could “SEE” and had no vision problem, it will give him a positive outlook moving forward.
Thank you for your miracle and surprising us by your time and caring. What a surprise to not get charged a high price…….. You are truly a caring doctor that enjoys the rewards of “MIRACLES”.
Sincerely,
[L’s Mother]
