Patient Reviews
Mar 30, 2022
I was having a slight double vision problem. Dr. Townsend told me she could surgically fix it by adjusting the the eye muscles. She fixed a years old problem in a matter of minutes. I read the reviews about long waits and her rushed demeanor. This is true but she has talents desperately needed in this and other communities. She is worth the wait.
