Very efficient
Excellent results! Only would have been better to meet and see Dr Piracha before going into surgery and a little bit out of it. Really don’t remember much of seeing him.
The Best.
Excellent
Dr. Piracha did my right eye cataract surgery and he was great. He was very pleasant and made me feel at ease during the procedure. He was very thorough in explaining all the steps. He's doing my left eye surgery in a couple of weeks and I am confident that the procedure will go smoothly.
Everything A+
Wish I had him. Center and experience was great!
