Dr Fekrat goes the extra mile. She listens to all of my concerns and answers each one thoughtfully and thoroughly. That is ah-mazing for a retina specialist who is so busy and sought after. Thank you so much for all that you do for so many patients each and every day and for working so hard to be able to help so many people see better. Duke is lucky that you are one of the doctors there.
