Patient Reviews
Jun 23, 2024
After a lot of research, I made several 1000-mile trips to South Dakota because of the expertise and experience of Dr. Thompson and his staff. He probably has more experience than almost anyone in the country when it comes to cataract surgery, and recommended multi-focal lenses, and I am very happy with the results. I wouldn't go anywhere else, because they are the best.
