Very nice. High energy, good information regarding glaucoma. Seemed rushed.

The fifteen minute was very rushed after waiting an hour to see the doctor. He spoke so quickly I it was hard to follow. He was friendly but didn’t seem like he’d reviewed any of the notes and I felt like I was mostly being talked at and not really listened to. It didn’t seem like I was given a full dry eye exam, either and I was frustrated and disappointed because I specifically chose him off the website from his bio indicating he cared a lot about patient education and listening to understand his patients. I don’t feel like I received quality care I hoped for.

Had my follow up with Dr. O today.
I am very happy with the outcome of my cataract surgery. I no longer have to use drops for cataracts. My pressures were very good today.
Thank you Dr. O
