Patient Reviews
Jul 08, 2023
I am an Ophthalmologist -- an eye surgeon. I requested Richard J. Mackool to do my cataract operation. In this world we hopefully have choices. I selected the most talented surgeon! In addition, he is a compassionate and kind human being to go along with his gift of restoring sight. My pre operative evaluation with his team was very thorough. He then listened to my concerns (especially since I too do cataract surgery) and gave me confidence that I had chosen wisely.
