Any and all views are welcomed.
Thanks in advance.

My friend Barbara lives in The Villages but was visiting with me in Tampa when it was discovered that she had Wet Macular Degeneration (WMD.) She received her initial treatments in Tampa, but asked for a recommendation in TV so she wouldn't have to travel so much for treatment. Her Tampa doctor recommended Dr. Tolentino, and explained that Dr. Tolentino and his father had pioneered and developed the treatment for WMD that she was receiving.
It had been explained to Barbara that they could arrest the progress of WMD but could not reverse its effects. Actually, since being treated by Dr. Tolentino, tests have shown a small amount of improvement.
Dr. Tolentino is also well connected for referring difficult patients for clinical trials of newly developed drugs for the treatment of WMD. Barbara was considered, but found to not be bad enough to participate.
