🚨 Warning: Two Botched Surgeries Result in Permanent Eye Damage and Disfigurement 🚨
I strongly urge anyone considering surgery with Dr. Toranto to seek a second opinion and proceed with extreme caution.
I presented to the Sharp Memorial Emergency Room on February 13, 2024, with an orbital fracture. Dr. Toranto was assigned to my case and immediately pushed for surgery.
Alleged Coercive Tactics
Dr. Toranto used a fear-based tactic to rush my decision. He stated that if I did not proceed with the surgery immediately, my insurance might refuse to cover the procedure later. This pressure convinced me to undergo an unnecessary operation out of fear of future financial and medical complications. This decision began a miserable, permanent, life-altering journey.
First Botched Surgery and Permanent Damage
The first surgery involved an antiquated method using a titanium plate. Dr. Toranto installed this plate approximately 6 millimeters too high in my orbital socket. This severe error immediately misaligned my left eyeball, causing visible disfigurement and serious functional problems.
I was forced to wait four months for healing, only for the mistake to be confirmed. The plate had to be removed.
Second Botched Surgery and Lack of Care
Prior to the second surgery, I specifically instructed Dr. Toranto to remove all scar tissue that had accumulated in the massive void created by the incorrectly placed plate. He failed to listen to or follow this critical instruction.
After the removal, I had to wait another four months for the final results. The failure to remove the scar tissue meant the surgical outcome was unchanged: my left eyeball remains permanently displaced and too high.
Life-Altering Consequences
The permanent misplacement of my eye has made focusing on work and daily activities extremely difficult. This entire ordeal, which was supposed to correct a stable injury, has permanently damaged my eyesight and significantly reduced my quality of life. Before Dr. Toranto's intervention, I could see perfectly fine. Now, no other surgeon is willing to touch the permanent damage.
Dr. Toranto may seem like a "nice guy," but this cannot mask the devastating surgical errors and the alleged manipulative tactics used to secure the procedure.
Do not make the same mistake I did. Avoid Dr. Toranto. This experience was a costly nightmare that has left me with permanent disfigurement and functional impairment.
