Doctor Kershaw is AMAZING! Love his sense of humor and the time he took during the appointment. But you can tell him I still won't put cilantro on my tacos!

Wouldn't recommend at all. Went there 6 months after having major detached retina surgery for a check-up by an Ophthalmologist. When I asked about my vision, he handed me a lens to look through and told me my sight couldn't be improved. I immediately found another Ophthalmologist. 4 months later after routine cataract surgery my vision healed to 20/20 without glasses or anything,
