Going into my very first appointment with Dr.Eifrig I was extremely apprehensive and to be honest downright scared. His manner eased my fears and although I am still somewhat apprehensive each and every visit. Dr.Eifrig has a special way to get me to relax. I would not want anyone other than Dr.Eifrig performing these procedures.

Dr.Eifrig is the best. He talks with you and not at/to you. Very personable. He's not in a hurry to get rid of you.

Dr. Eifrig restored my vision and has enabled me to resume a normal life. He's current with the latest techniques and shares his knowledge by presenting the type and level of treatment in a clear and concise manner - even when the diagonoses wasn't positive. Thankfully, Dr. Eifrig was able to provide me with a successful course of treatment. In addition, he is a caring person.
