The appointment was 9 minutes and 20 seconds and I was given a folder and shown the door. For an eye exam and explanation plus talk of surgery that was a lot to take in. Felt very rushed.
Excellent Doctor.
Dr George was great. six stars.
He is the best! Kind, thorough and professional. Never hurried. Excellent surgeon, he did my cataract surgery years ago and excellent job as well. Have given many of my friends referrals to him and they are so happy to have him as their eye doc!!
Dr. George is the BEST !! He is always so considerate, kind and so caring.
Knowledgable, caring, patient, fruendly.
Dr George is so friendly and down to earth. Explains everything he’s going to do throughout the exam. I trust him with the care of my eyes!! The gal that checked me in did a great job as well as Siann (so?) who did the initial part of my exam.
Always professional and respectful. Highly qualified. I have absolute confidence in Dr. George's care and advice.
I have been seeing Dr. George for almost 20 years and I trust him explicitly with my eye health. My Mother went blind from Dry Macular Degeneration and watching her go through that was very difficult. Dr. George listens to me and understands my fear of the same thing happening to me. His reassurance means the world to me.
Excellent care!
