The staff with Dr. Paauw were responsive and efficient. I arrived early for every visit and was seen promptly. Dr. Paauw was confident and knowledgeable and shared information about the surgery that put me at ease. He has a very warm bedside manner. I highly recommend him and the Piedmont Eye Center.
