I was not a happy patient! I specifically made an appointment with Dr Roh not dr Norman! Dr Norman rushed into examining room without identifying himself nor stating why I wasn’t seeing the doctor I requested! He asked if I had any questions and I actually had to say “who are you” I was expecting Dr Roh!

He’s very caring. He’s thorough on the pictures and making sure that I need the injections. We talk and he gives me time. I love this guy.

As always Dr. Norman is a stellar doctor. I’m continuously grateful that he is my doctor for my retina and macular degeneration. He saved my vision so many times over the years. It’s priceless!
