He is a very caring doctor. He listens to you and explains everything. My procedure was not successful but he explained before the surgery that may be the outcome. He was truly disappointed at the outcome. I will continue to see him on a yearly basis.

After my first appointment I was very certain that I was in the best hands for my upcoming macular hole repair. He is very thorough in explaining things and makes you feel at ease.

Called in for a follow up issue from 10/21/25 burning and sore watery eye with blurry vision. Called in 10:00am received a return call at 1:00pm. Told to come in at 2:00 pm. Had eyes checked and waiting for next step. Waiting till 3:30 pm I had to leave due to previous scheduled commitments. If you triple book appointments maybe you can refer me to another doctor. I feel you are overwhelmed and can’t provide proper medical service to your patients for emergency or follow up issues. I am still having a issue and with no answer to my problem.
