Doctor Peter D. Bekendam is my favorite ophthalmologist!!! He is thorough in his evaluation; he asks relevant questions to get to the bottom of an issue, and gives recommendations. On top of the above, he is truly compassionate and down-to-earth. Trust is H-U-G-E for me. I feel good being his patient. My late mom was his patient. My dad, sister, husband, and aunt are his patients, too. Thank you for being an honest, competent and caring professional, Dr. Bekendam. Our family 💜 being under your care.
