Jan-2021
I was changed over to Dr. Sample when Dr. Kiser retired. Although I like Dr. Sample, he has not been as thorough nor spent as much time examining my eyes as Dr. Kiser did. I have to have yearly exams due to eye issues, and Dr. Kiser always put 3 different types of drops in my eyes, but I have not had but one administered with Dr. Sample. Because of this, I leave the office feeling unsecure about the health of my eyes.
Jan-2021
