Excellent service! I was referred for a possible issue involving retinal detachment. Dr. Ryder and gis colleagues were very thorough with their imaging procedures. Afterwards he proceeded in explaining in detail the outcomes and possible further actions that may be available, if my situation progressed. I would highly recommend him as a provider if you are facing any type of vision issues!
