Best eye doctor around!!! Plus so personable and caring!!!
Dr George and all the clinic associates have been most professional, but still friendly. I like to ask questions and everyone has been most willing to answer my questions!
I have known Doctor George for many years and count him as a friend. He makes people comfortable and explained what he is doing as well as advice on keeping healthy. He a good doctor and a friend.
Jim was super patient with my questions and answered all of them completely. He made me very comfortable with the next steps that we need to take.
Through the whole process of my cataract surgery, from the initial prep through last week's final post-op check, Dr. George has been exemplary in the clarity of his explanations and in his demeanor. A major improvement in my vision with no anxiety -- perfrct.
