Patient Reviews
Aug 23, 2024
Dr. Kapner took time to explain my procedure, gave recommendations, was forthright and caring. I was in good hands and did not feel nervous about my surgery for cataracts and toric lens placement. He listened to my concerns and reassured me. The results were life changing, I am grateful for his expertise.
