Patient Reviews
Oct 10, 2023
He knew exactly what was wrong with my eye.Very straight up what to do after surgery with a gas bubble in eye. How to sleep, what not to do. Would advertise anyone with retina problem to consult with him before it's to late. He is the best wish he was in my network of Doctors. Bascom Palmer University of Miami should be in all Insurance companies network. They weren't in mine but I couldn't risk going blind like my in network Doctor said if I didn't go to Bascom Palmer University of Miami so I went. Rather be in debt than blind. Thank You Doctor Townsend, Jackie Karp
