Testimonials Jerome Sherman, OD (SUNY Distinguished Professor) “I have worked with dozens of ophthalmologists during my career, and when I developed a clinically significant cataract, I considered myriad options and finally decided to go with E.S.S.I. My vision is now excellent from 18 inches to infinity! I am very happy with my decision. Not surprisingly, my patients with cataracts now want to know where I chose to have my cataract surgery and why. I feel very comfortable in highly recommending Essex Specialized Surgical Institute.” E.S.S.I. is licensed in the state of New Jersey, certified by Medicare and AAAHC accredited.
