I searched for an eye doctor to treat my dry eye syndrome. Thankfully, I found Dr. Rose, who is a specialist in treating this condition. She is truly an excellent doctor whom I highly recommend.

Very rushed visit. She spent most of the time typing or checking her watch rather than making eye contact. It felt transactional instead of personal. But this is how I always feel afterwards. So it’s not surprising tbh.
