Patient Reviews
Oct 14, 2023
I recently had a 6 month appointment with a different Dr. What should have been a routine appointment became -quite the opposite! Suddenly, my initial Dr. ran out of the room, as I had a detached & torn Retina.She called Dr. Fivgas just in time! He wasin his car, preparing to go home and immediately returned to his office to examine my eye and prepare me for Emergency Surgery!He answered all of my questions and continued to reassure me that all wasgoing to be fine. Dr. Fivgas is my miracleworker!
