Dr George is a very compassionate and understanding Dr, who always suggests solutions to helping me see better, and realizes that I can see fine with my “cheater” glasses, without spending lots of money on bifocals rt now. The cataract surgery he did on my eyes was successful and I trust him completely with taking great care of my eyes!
