Very knowledgeable and kind. Explained every step of the way
Very approachable and kind. Explained things well for me
I am very appreciative of being able to get the injections locally, however I am experiencing significant pain as rge needle is inserted. This leads me to wonder if the agent being used to numb the eye is significantly weaker than the one used by Dr Gensure in Salt Lake City.
Great doctor. Let me know what he was doing and why he was doing it.
Very personable and good at explaining my care.
Very informative
Dr. Alex Wright, MD, Retina Specialist, and his medical assistant Brock were professional, knowledgeable, and extremely kind. I have a lot of medical issues, allergies and sensitivities to ingredients in medicantions and injections. Since this was my first time seeing Dr. Wright, they both handled this expediency consideration and with great care. Thank you both for handling a difficult treatment with grace and patience.
