The reviews listed below were collected independently of VitreoRetinal Consultants through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Dr. David Rhee is our #1 doctor! My mom used to fear getting her monthly intravitreal injections for her molecular degeneration, but not after meeting Dr. Rhee. Because he combines exceptional expertise with genuine compassion during an intravitreal injection for her macular degeneration, neither does she sees any floaters nor feel any pain when she comes home.
Highly recommend! ✨
