Very blunt and got right to the point giving me his opinion of what to do or in this case what not to do. Examine did feel very rushed. Hoping to see Dr Nguyen at my follow up appointment. I did not even know the doctors name until I got the survey request today!

Dr Norman is vert patient with his patients, he listen, he doesn't rush in examining your eyes. He uses the best techniques to examine your eyes.
I've been going to him for 5 years and very happy with him and his staff.

Did well to explain diagnosis and observations in imaging. Professional, friendly, and was willing to talk with me to understand and make informed decisions. Did not quite introduce himself though.
