Very professional and accommodating. The waiting room shows are “The British Baking Show” and some underwater nature show. Not my favorite, but what are you going to do?!?! 🤣

I had a very positive experience with Dr Charles W.G Eifrig From the first visit, he was attentive and explained my eyes condition in a way I could understand. He discussed all treatment options and answered my questions patiently. The procedure went smoothly, and I felt well cared for throughout the process. His staff was professional and organized. I’m grateful for his expertise and would highly recommend him to anyone needing a retina specialist.

Experience with doctor was great although sometimes I feel like the appointments are rushed through. A slower pace would be ideal.
