Was very good at explaining the things I needed to know and did so quite graciously.
Excellent visit. All staff are friendly and professional. Very pleasant atmosphere. LaChelle did a wonderful job and has a relaxed, warm and confident personality. Dr Tubbs is an excellent physician. He did my YAG laser treatment quickly and expertly. My vision in my left eye is already almost back to normal and it’s only been 1/2 a day! Thank you!
