Patient Reviews
Sep 17, 2024
Dr. Persaud is extremely knowledgeable and personable. After a thorough eye exam, Dr. Persaud gave me a full explanation of a tear I had in my retina and then performed laser surgery to correct the issue. The very personable staff at the clinic were an added bonus to the whole experience. I would highly recommend Dr. Persaud.
