Gave me direct and simple explanation of the procedure, the risks, the likelihood of the adverse effects, and the requirements for the pre-and postoperative management. Discussion was friendly, not rushed, and easy to comprehend.

Dr. Fraula and his staff are very efficient and pleasant. My initial visit was for an assessment of cataracts and I was impressed with the numerous tests and measurements taken at the initial appointment. I scheduled cataract surgery and was very pleased with the results. I never realized how much my perception of white was affected by my cataract. I now see white as a brilliant color rather than a yellow tinted color.
