Patient Reviews
Apr 01, 2024
Sad to say he is retiring in May 2024. He has been the eye doctor for myself, my wife, and my kids. He is an extremely smart and well-read doctor, a kind person who is friendly, down-to-earth, and explains diagnoses and treatments clearly and without lots of medical jargon. My wife and I always looked forward to our visits with him! He will be missed!
