The interview

Who are you and how do you use PRP in your practice?

My name is Maureen Traina and I'm a physician assistant at Center For Sight in Sarasota, Florida. We use PRP at Center For Sight, mostly for dry eye patients. I love providing PRP therapy for my patients because it works so well.

What was the patient experience like before using Dr. PRP?

Oftentimes patients have severe dry eye and they've tried many things that don't necessarily help. Prior to using Dr. PRP we were sending patients out to the lab to get their blood drawn. The blood had to be shipped off to get PRP eye drops made.

Why did you choose the Dr. PRP system?

What made me say yes to Dr. PRP was the convenience of using it in office. I can make eye drops and give them to the patients the same day within about 15 to 20 minutes. The patients are so happy that they don't have to wait for those eye drops to be made and go through the whole process of getting that done.

What has been the most surprising result of using Dr. PRP?

What surprised me the most about Dr. PRP was how happy my patients were with their results. Typically dry eye patients are very uncomfortable and quite honestly discouraged. After Dr. PRP, I would say majority of my patients are very satisfied and happy with their results.

Can you share a specific success story using Dr. PRP?

I had a young girl who had bilateral corneal ulcers from a bacterial infection. I saw her on Friday to make PRP eye drops. We saw her Monday, the next week and those ulcers were almost resolved and she was so happy.

What is your advice to other clinicians considering Dr. PRP?

I feel that other practices clinics should add PRP therapy because it's simple and easy to use. If you're sitting on the fence of trying Dr. PRP my recommendation to you is to do it. I am so happy with the results that we've obtained in my clinic for our patients and the ease of use.
