Patient Reviews
Jun 19, 2022
Dr Nixon treated my mother for wet macular degeneration for years. It was his location that took us there initially but even after we moved far out of Austin I would not have taken her to anyne else. I am so grateful to him for saving her eyesight. He was unfailingly kind and gentle, I would recommend him to anyone.
