Patient Reviews
Apr 20, 2019
I was told by another doctor for Lens Crafters that I was blind in my left eye due to a detached retina... when sent by DMV to opthamologist- Dr. Sakamoto was the only one taking appointments- and after an exam told me that I had a bad cataract but that I am NOT blind in that eye and will need surgery soon- that was almost 2 year ago.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?
