Dr. Bickford has been treating me for a corneal issue. He’s been extremely patient, honest to a fault, professional, and kind. He genuinely cares about the long term outcome. I very much appreciate him, and the entire Palmetto Eye and Laser staff for the efforts and excellent care.

Dr was Great. Staff very nice. Although they neglected to tell me they were no longer in network as of the 16 of this month.
Now I’m conflicted on what to do.
I’m on disability and can not really in a place to pay this much co pay
