Always a good experience!
Very personable & understanding...it's actually a pleasure to meet with him!
He was very kind and friendly. He answered all my questions and made sure that I understood the answers.
Very knowledgeable and thorough on exam concerning cataracts. Pleasant personality and shows positivity by smiling frequently during his interaction with the patient. Took time to explain procedure to correct cataracts and possible outcomes. Took time to allow patient to ask several questions and then gave answers to those questions.
