Patient Reviews
Sep 06, 2024
I get injections in both of my eyes. He is kind, compassionate, considers my life and job and how the treatments affect me. He describes all modalities. Never rushes, answers questions. Best doctor ever and as much as I dislike the procedures, he makes it fun to visit and allays my anxiety. Even my family members enjoy our visits. He’s like a friend you can trust.
