This morning, I went to my six month eye exam at Atlantic Retinal Consultants new office on Merritt Island. First, the parking lot is huge. It's shared with Home Depot. Next, the waiting area is quite spacious, also. Then, the plaShow morece is very big and new. Everyone wore a black uniform with the same black tennis shoes. It was very perfessionnal. Everyone was nice and I didn't have to wait long to be attended to. I went through all of the usual tests and saw Dr. Ganiban, in way less than an hour, which is unusual. I've been going to Dr. Ganiban for almost 25 years. He's a great doctor, very thorough and I recommend him to all of my friends. If you need to see an eye specialist, Dr. Ganiban, in my experience, is the best.
No doubt dealing with a serious eye issue can make you anxious. This was how I felt walking in to meet Dr Gambian. I can assure you after my exam he took the time to answer my questions on treatment and I left with a clear understShow moreanding of what was going on and how my treatment was going forward. I especially appreciate that type of communication. Staff was excellent as well.
After completing his residency, Dr. Ganiban pursued advanced Fellowship Training in Diseases and Surgery of the Retina and Vitreous at Louisiana State University – New Orleans, where he served as Chief Fellow and as an Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology. He is a member of the Sigma Xi National Research Society, the American Society of Retina Specialists, a Fellow of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology and he is a member of the New Orleans Academy of Ophthalmology. Dr. Ganiban’s ophthalmic research projects have included studies involving intraocular drug delivery systems, the use of silicone oil in retinal detachment repairs and various vision restoration therapies for patients with Macular Degeneration.
Dr. Ganiban is an Adjunct Clinical Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the Florida Institute of Technology, where he performs extensive research with an emphasis on creating new medical devices. Dr.Ganiban recently developed a new device that enhances efficiency in retinal surgery and comprehensive eye examinations, by enabling hands-free scleral depression, known as the Ganihand. In conjunction with the world’s largest ophthalmic medical, pharmaceutical and surgical device company, this cutting edge device is being developed for use by eye physicians in the United States and all over the world.
Along with his colleagues at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami, in 2005, Dr. Ganiban was one of the first Retina Specialists in the U.S. to begin treating Macular Degeneration patients with intraocular Avastin, a cutting edge treatment that has improved the vision and lives of many patients who suffer from the “wet” form of Macular Degeneration.
Dr. Ganiban was born and raised in suburban Philadelphia, PA, where his father practiced internal medicine for over forty years. His wife, Patricia LaFleur, M.D., is also an Ophthalmologist, specializing in cosmetic and reconstructive eyelid surgery, Restylane Skin Treatments, and Botox Injections. The Ganibans have two sons and they regularly attend church. Although they have varied interests and commitments, the Ganibans make family time a top priority.
Dr. Ganiban makes time for tennis, swimming and competitive sports. He is a triathlete and has competed in seventeen marathons, including two Boston Marathons and four Florida Iron Man 70.3 mile events– a grueling endurance race where participants swim 1.2 miles, bike 56 miles, and run 13.1 miles.
The Ganibans enjoy gourmet cooking – particularly French, Creole and Cajun cuisine. Dr. Ganiban is an avid reader of history books and fiction, and he is presently writing a medical/thriller novel, that he hopes to complete in the next couple of years.

Everything was fine. Staff friendly and professional. No issues.
Dr. Ganiban is wonderful. I wouldn’t trust my eyes with anyone else. The staff at the Island location were great and very efficient. My only complaint is that the wait time is way too long.

Dr Ganiban is truly a caring Doctor & really takes care of his Patients
