Patient Reviews
Sep 18, 2024
I have spent a great deal of time with Rachel, who has proven to be knowledgeable, patient, compassionate, and proactive. She takes the time to explain things in "laymen's terms" so that I possess a better understanding of my eye condition. I highly recommend Dr. Wiggins and his entire staff, deeply appreciating their competence and professionalism.
