Surgery went smooth! Staff pre and post op was very professional.
From the wonderful, most helpful lady at the front desk, to the welcoming and very professional technician it is a pleasure to go in for my appointment. As for Dr Wertheimer he’s the best. He listens to you and answers any questions you might have (rare today in the medical profession). He explains everything about your exam in detail. He is definitely an A+++. I’m glad he’s my ophthalmologist.
