Patient Reviews
Sep 06, 2024
Dr Schaab is very thorough and quite patient. I would definitely recommend her to anyone having a retinal issue. I was not as impressed with the female tech who did some of my intake. Maybe she was having a bad day, but I found her to be condescending and completely random. I’m happy to provide details about my health history and medication list, but her attitude really annoyed me. She did not inspire trust. I hope I never have to see her again.
