Very pleased with Alex Ringeisen. Very informative about what happened to me. My eye Dr sent me to Alex because he couldn’t see into my eye because of so much blood in my eye. By the time I went to Alex it had resolved and he said “I cured myself”. Very informative as to what happened and took time to explain it to me. Very kind Dr.
