Jun 15, 2023
Dr Custer has the best bed side manner and explains everything to you before surgery and after. He's done two reconstruction surgeries on my eyes after having skin cancer removal you can't even tell where he did any of it. I will always go to him for my eye surgery needs. He's serious and also knows when to crack a joke with you to ease your mind before surgery.
