Patient Reviews
May 19, 2023
Dr. Dooner is very engaging and congenial. He took a few minutes to chat about unrelated things before discussing my eye results. He very thoroughly explained the issues with my eyes, why these things develop and what might be done about them. He his advice was to look at the situation again in a year and see how things have developed. I could not have been happier with his care and that of the staff.
