Awesome doctor very thorough and explains everything very well.
She informed me on my progress on (both eyes)the day after my 2nd surgery - left eye 👁️ reminded me on the do’s & don’t for the next week. And answered all of my questions and concerns.
Very thorough & frienfly. .
Nice visit & short, cordial.
Everyone was great, friendly and helpful
Very caring and willing to listen to my concerns!
Thorough; took her time
I felt like an inconvenience. Once it was clear that there were no further treatment options available. I was simply told to find someone who offers IPL. I asked if the front desk could assist with that and they agreed, but I never heard back from anyone. It’s incredibly discouraging. After months of trying different treatments I feel no closer to a solution than when I first started. I’m generally disheartened and just hoping to find someone who can help.
Very thorough and I feel like I received a complete eye exam. After cataract surgery with glasses I have 20/20 vision but still hoping for X-ray vision. 🙂
Thank you for your help worth my eye and being able to see me quickly. I really appreciate it.
