Jul 02, 2020
Dr Umlas provided a very thorough exam and explanation of my condition --- I absolutely left the appointment feeling confident with his diagnosis. He also spent ample time explaining options along with the pros/cons of each. I am extremely pleased with my entire experience/appointment at Lexington Eye and I highly recommend Dr Umlas.
