Keller and Katherine are an excellent Professional team. Both are very personable and know how to comunícate quite well!
Dr. Elkins takes care of both Jerry and I. We drive from San Antonio to see her. She is extremely caring and answers all our questions thoroughly. She is knowledgeable and empathetic as she monitors our post cataract and my additional hydrous stents for glaucoma. When I had some floaters that appeared as a veil going across my vision she called me back on the telephone immediately and made time to see me the same day to confirm it was not a retinal problem. Thanks to Dr. Elkins both Jerry and I are enjoying the full use of our dramatically improved vision from Dr. Wong.
