Patient Reviews
Jan 14, 2019
When you look for an eye doctor, you want one with experience and attention to detail. Dr.Robert Filer has been my doctor for a number of years, long enough to see me beginning with regular checkups, through bifocals, to frightening eye disease and now to cataract surgery. He is a lot busier than when I first met him, but he is always humble, kind and answers all my questions. He is busy for a reason: Dr. Filer is a great doctor. He is my number#1 choice as an eye doctor.
