I was *so fortunate* to have Dr. Haffner as my retina surgeon. Dr. Haffner performed a partial vitrectomy for a retinal detachment in an emergency situation. While I did not have time to "physician shop", I could not have been more pleased with (1) the level of his expertise, (2) his investment of time in answering my questions, (3) the quality of his team, and (4) the successful outcome. He and his team are outstanding in all respects.

Dr Haffner has a very calm bedside manner, which I appreciate very much. He also took time to answer all my questions and talk me through what to expect with surgery. I felt I was in very good hands. After surgery, was seeing much better. The staff is also wonderful, very professional and helpful.
