Patient Reviews
Nov 19, 2024
he was quick to assess a situation of poor vision I had seen many MDs for without clarityHe told me 1-2-3 these are what you need to do and in that order. , DO not worry about your cataracts, now can waitand he was absolutely right (I had been told that I must get my cataracts operated immediately ) and they turned out to be not the primary reason for my poor vision . His sequence set my course straight for the next 2 years . He is a great clinician
