Patient Reviews
Apr 02, 2024
Dr. Fargason is awesome, we traveled to Baton Rouge by recommendation of a friend. He was very kind, listened to my husband's concerns and made him feel as he had hope, as the doctors back home had left him believing there was not much that could be done. Thank you to you and your staff, they were all awesome and caring. One eye left to care for, hope to see you soon.
