The reviews listed below were collected independently of St. George Eye Center through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
He is a very conscientious and knowledgeable doc who is concerned about his patients. With my new lenses I can read without reading glasses. He kept suggesting i i put eyedrops in more regularly. I finally did and it made a big difference to my vision. Office is efficiently run. My time was as important as his!
