Patient Reviews
Nov 05, 2019
I had a rare condition where the white portion of my eye grew over the cornea. In a very delicate surgery, Dr. Heigle was able to cut away the offending cells, and glue in new tissue to correct the issue. He is a very professional, skilled and intelligent doctor and he treated my issue with great levity. My eyesight has improved greatly since the successful surgery and I have Dr. Heigle to thank. I highly recommend him.
