Patient Reviews
Mar 23, 2019
I had cataracts in both eyes and put it off as long as I could. I admit I was afraid and had problems with surgeries in the past. he was excellent ! I said I wanted the best surgeon and I know now that I did. How do you thank someone for your vision? This is a small way to say thank you
