Dr. Groat agreed to treat me, an elderly patient with a medically complex condition. He performed two successful cornea transplants on me. Dr. Groat is pleasant and patiently takes time to thoroughly address questions and concerns. The entire staff is outstanding, knowledgeable, compassionate and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Groat and his staff!
