Patient Reviews
Feb 14, 2025
I have diabetes & Dr. Holmwood has guided my eye care for several years now. I appreciate a dr. who is honest & to the point when it comes to my health. Dr. Holmwood is just that. I don't have time for someone to be warm & fuzzy & sugar coats things. I understand that my diabetes affects my eye health and trust Dr. Holmwood to guide me in keeping them as healthy as possible for as long as possible.
