    Dr Sobrin is the 4th MEE retinal specialist I have consulted about what appears to be a rare autoimmune eye problem. [redacted] Since visiting Dr Sobrin, she has told me that there is a possible treatment for my rare eye problem and it is possible it could resolve, or at least not continue to worsen. She has also taken the time to hear my history, to take note of the cluster of unusual eye issues I have experienced and has tried to connect the dots in a way that makes more sense and doesn't simply blame "really bad diabetes" despite evidence of longterm tight diabetes control for decades. I am sorry it took me a year to find Dr. Sobrin when I first began experiencing my rare eye symptoms and that I continued to see Dr [redacted] for the time I did. [redacted]
