Patient Reviews
Nov 10, 2020
He did my cataract surgeries in 2011. And my IOL placements. I choose him because I had experience in surgery with him. H e used to do retinal detachment surgery but stopped and refers that out. He is too busy with his primary surgicenter to stop and leave to do long emergency surgeries "on call".
