Dr Eddy was great but an office visit taking 4 hours is ridiculous

Very professional and highly concerned about your eye health. I trust his care, especially for a very delicate and important part of your life.

I love Dr Eddie and his bedside manner! But most of all I really appreciate him and his surgical expertise living and serving tens of thousands of people in the Texas Panhandle, the five surrounding states and two countries! I think the mind and mental clarity is the most important health that we can have, but second has to be the gift of eyesight! Dr Eddie and the entire staff in Southwest Retina treat, stabilize, treat and give people their eyesight back, every day!
May God bless Dr Eddy, the staff, Southwest Retina, every day!
