Dr. Deepam Rusia, MD

I came to the office as an emergency patient. I had a retinal detachment that had been misdiagnosed for several months, and scarring had developed. The consulting doctor told me that my vision loss could likely be stopped, but vision improvement would be unlikely because of the circumstances. I was scheduled for urgent surgery. Enter Dr. Rusia. Dr. Rusia was calm, and he expertly executed the procedures necessary to put my eye back together. Eye doctors and surgeons I have seen since then have complemented his work, and they have told me my retina looks strong. My vision is now 20/20 without correction, and I will forever be grateful that of all the doctors in the world, I am a patient of Dr. Rusia.

My experience with Dr. Rusia was fantastic. I am from Erie, PA and first met him when I called Retina Vitreous Consultants (Monroeville, PA) on a Saturday morning. I had an emergency situation that could not be handled in Erie. Dr. Rusia called me back almost immediately. He assured me that if I came down to UPMC Mercy Hospital(Pittsburgh, PA) he would evaluate me and perform the surgery. He called me two more time during the two hour trip to answer any questions or concerns that I may have before arriving. He performed the surgery that Saturday afternoon and met with me the following morning (Sunday) at his Monroeville office. Everything has gone wonderfully and my vision is returning. Not only is he excellent surgeon, he is a very compassionate person. If I ever have to have eye surgery again, he is will be doing it.

My experience with Mr Russia has been amazing. He is very patient, compassionate and understanding.He is always ready to listen and willing to discuss things with you. He shows genuine concern, remembers everything about me, never rushes my time with him and makes me feel at ease.If anyone is looking for a total professional eye doctor you can not go wrong seeing Dr.Rusia....he is the best.
