Patient Reviews
May 30, 2021
Dr. Packer repaired several retinal tears and a detached retina for me a few years ago. Regular follow-up visits since then show everything is completely healthy. The office has streamlined visits since the pandemic began and wait time is minimal. The office has state of the art diagnostics.
