        I am a difficult case with three failed corneal transplants. Dr Amescua was so compassionate and empathetic. He truly is frustrated with my rejections and wants me to have a transplant with a longer “life span”. I first met Dr Amescua in Plantation when he successfully saved my first transplant performed by Kendall Donaldson. He was filling in for her that day. He worked so long and said I think we are going to save this transplant And he did! For months afterwards, my eye was good. I felt then his compassion and dedication. A kind and caring physician.

        Dr. Amescua is the best physician I've ever had. He is scientific, exploratory, thorough, and trustworthy. I wish he had been my cornea surgeon/doctor. Had that been the case, I'm confident my eye and my eyesight would be in good shape. However, he was heroic in his efforts.

        Dr. Amescua was sharp, professional, and responded to all of my questions and concerns. He gave me a result that was beyond anything I could have hoped for. I no longer need reading glasses, which is a huge improvement in my quality of life.
