Dr Minnal is a wonderful doctor. She immediately put me at ease about my laser treatment. The difference is amazing as I’m seeing better than ever. I highly recommend her for cataract and laser surgery

I went in for a cataract consultation after my ophthalmologist said I should have surgery to resolve my cataracts. The consultation included multiple advanced exams by thoughtful technicians and nurses. Then Dr. Minnal reviewed the results and gave my eyes another exam. She explained what she found and made a recommendation for the type of lense that should be implanted. We discussed the success rate based upon the conditions of my eyes. She answered all of my questions and told me if I had any other questions to just call. She was very personable and concerned for what I want the procedure to accomplish. Once we finished our discussions her scheduler sat with me and we set all the necessary dates. I’m extremely impressed with the whole process.

Dr. Minna has taken great care of my eye care and follow up on my cataract surgery in both my eyes. I am happy that my vision is back to 20/20 in both eyes. I couldn't be more pleased.
