Thank you for clarifying the concerns I had with my eye. Top notch care and compassion!
The very best in my humble opinion.
Answered all our questions and very professional. We loved him!
Exceptional job
He’s by far the best doctor I’ve ever had in my life, and I’m 80 years old. He knows what he’s doing, very effective in relating it to me so that I understand it, and doesn’t leave the office until he knows that I’m ready to go. OUTSTANDING SURGEON! D. Perdue
