Patient Reviews
Jun 01, 2018
Excellent eye surgeon. Well educated, experienced and a caring human being. Small personal office with evening hours. He might get backed up occasionally because he is also an eye trauma surgeon and is sometimes called away on an emergency but in those situations I think he is worth the wait. I wouldn't want to deny an accident victim his skills because I was impatient. Yoko, who helps with the front, is very efficient at working with the insurance companies.
