I underwent a strabismus surgery today with Dr. Decannini! She and the entire staff made this procedure tolerable and even peaceful. My recovery is excellent. If you need serious help from a kind, professional healer aka surgeon please choose Dr. Decaninni!

We have been so pleased with our experience at Northwest Eye and with Dr. Decanini. My daughter has been treated with such kindness from all staff members. She actually enjoys going to the eye doctor. I appreciate that Dr. Decanini has been willing to try everything before resorting to eye surgery to fix my daughter’s eye crossing. Overall excellent experience!
