I didnt realize how bad my eyesight was until after the surgery.They discussed all my concerns until I was satisfied. They took into account my nervousness. I can't wait to get my other eye done. What a difference for me..

Dr. Harris removed cataracts in both of my eyes, inserted lenses and the result is nothing short of amazing! A whole new world seemed to have opened. She, and every member of her office staff was very professional, kind, courteous, and an all around joy to work with. Highly recommended!

Didn't follow the surgical plan because she decided not to do what she said she would do to correct a problem. Failed to tell me about a problem that might happen, and did, leading to another procedure.
