Excellent
Very comprehensive doctor and patient care
He was awesome. Took his time explaining everything to me (I'm a bit of an anatomy nerd and love to understand how the human body works) and wasn't rushed in the least bit. As he performed every procedure, he informed me about what I should or should not expect. It relieved any stress I had going into it. He went over options and what he suggested for my situation but also assured me that what I was currently doing was on par with good eye health. I felt respected and treated like a valuable client.
Nice
