He acknowledged my concerns and answered all my questions. He provided a treatment plan that I approved of. He was a compassionate provider. His office staff was friendly and accommodating. He came highly recommended by several friends and physicians; I can see why.

Kind caring and compassionate. Wonderful staff. I have never had a problem with scheduling an appointment. I don't consider a 15-30 min wait in the office a problem because he is worth the wait. Tons of experience and the only one I would trust to operate on my misaligned eyes!

I have a preemie daughter and he has been seeing her since she was in the NICU. I think he is the best infant eye doctor around. I highly recommend him.

If you are lucky enough to get an appointment, good luck getting a follow up! You can only call to schedule on the first business day of each month. So far, I've been calling for an hour straight and only get busy signals!!!!!!!!!!!! You are extremely fortunate that you are considered the best in your field or no one would put up with this crap!
