He was very friendly and educated. I was there to talk to him about why I was not happy with my IOL multifocal cataract surgery lens replacement, that I paid $6000 for two eyes, and I wasn’t getting my moneys worth due to less than perfect results. I thought maybe I was being too picky but Instead of getting mad, he was very sympathetic and told me I have every reason to be Feeling that way. He came up with a solution that made me happy. They are going to fix my vision with laser and it is included in what I already paid.
Really like doctor Smith. Listens to you and is easy to communicate with.
Very happy and appointment on time
Very pleasant personality.
First visit with Dr. Smith showed him to be respectful and sensitive to my situation and myself. He explained in detail the pros and cons of my options. My experience with Kaiser was much different giving me only one option for my eye problems. .
Thank you for taking the time to fix someone else mistakes. My dad and our family appreciate your meticulous care and follow up.
Always kind and professional.
