It would be helpful if patients who have a shot put in their eye would be given a print out of what they should/should’t do afterwards. (I.e. re eye drops, what not to do related to getting water in one’s eyes, etc.) if the patient is scheduled for a follow up shot, it would also be helpful if you also send a print out of what needs to be done prior to their appointment.Thanks!!
By the way, I had to call to ask what I needed to do, and Shelly kindly read the “printout “ to me at my request

Dr. Nothnagel’s sensitivity to his patients is amazing. He very kindly and calmly expresses and explains in detail your present condition.
Most importantly to me, he was unafraid of disputing a diagnosis that was not true by a forwarding ophthalmologist that I had seen. I am very grateful.

Dr. Nothnagel is an excellent doctor. He listens closely, explains diagnosis and answers questions without feeling rushed and an excellent eye surgeon. I would highly recommend Dr Nothnagel.
