Patient Reviews
Oct 09, 2023
My husband was referred to Dr. Wyhinny as an emergency patient after the ophthalmologist diagnosed him with a detached retina. We were very anxious and frightened, but Dr. Wyhinny and his supportive staff spent quite a bit of time explaining my husband's diagnosis and surgical needs. Thanks to Dr. Wyhinny's superb surgical skills, my husband has 20/40 vision without eyeglasses. We are both profoundly grateful for his and his staff's patience, attentiveness and reassurance both before and after the surgery.
