My first time meeting him. I found him patient and sensitive to my needs. He explained my procedure well and tried to put me at ease. My eye injection wasn’t as bad as I perceived.
This was my first time meeting with Dr. Adam. I have been a patient of Dr. Well for over 30 years. He compared all of her notes and verify everything for himself. He was very professional and the office ran extremely smoothly. Disappointment took me half the time that had taken in previous appointments.
First time seeing Dr. Adam. Very professional, answered questions, assisted with pre-auth, maintained a stress free environment while providing what could have been a stressed experience. Staff, as always SUPER kind, professional, and helpful. Always a 5 star experience.
Knowledgeable and takes time to explain

It was a wonderful, enlightening visit thanks to Dr. Adam and the entire staff. He answered all my questions and I feel I have more of an understanding on how to improve my eye health and even my eyesight with his recommendation of Dr. Hamou
