Patient Reviews
Jul 07, 2024
I was hit with a golf ball in my eye. Two doctors, including another well-regarded retina doctor, wanted to remove my eye and replace it with a glass one. That retina specialist gave up an hour into a 2-hour vitrectomy. I didn’t take no for an answer and kept searching for the right doctor. I was lucky enough to get to Dr. Lim, who reattached my retina through the same vitrectomy procedure. She went above and beyond. She was so determined, she stayed with the 2-hour surgery for 4.5 hours. I can’t begin to describe how grateful my entire family and I am for her. I then had 3 additional procedures with her and, today, I can now see out of my injured eye. There is NOBODY better than Dr. Lim.
