Dr. Hughes personally called me to come in a day early for my follow up, due to the high likelihood of snow, to make certain I was not continuing to have irritation in my eyes. I appreciate her personal concern and thorough examination to be sure I would not have any issues for a period I would not be able to have access to her.
