Patient Reviews
Apr 07, 2023
Dr Hwang did my corneal transplants in 2021. I inherited Fuchs’ Dystrophy and was rapidly going blind. My vision is now 20/20 & 20/25! He’s compassionate, caring, takes his time with each patient, even if running late. I drive three hours each way to see him, it’s worth every mile! He’s the best!
