Patient Reviews
Oct 22, 2024
I travel quite a distance to see this fantastic physician who upon my first visit said your eye is on fire and needs surgery right away. He saw me very closely to monitor my glaucomatous eye until it was “smoking “ then when the smoke cleared he had it dilated only to tell me that it was too far gone for further improvement, but at least it would protect me from a bus running me down. We both burst out laughing because I was terrified of needing a prosthesis but he said he didn’t see any reason for this. So sad that he is retiring but I wish him good luck and hope he enjoys this next chapter of his life.
