Dr. Thomas is a very thorough doctor. He looks at all medications I take and explains how they affect my eyes and sometimes recommends that it talk with my other doctors to come up with a different medication. I have full confidence in him, I did let him give me six shots in my left eye and I can’t think of another doctor I would let do that !

Dr. Thomas was very thorough with my eye exam. He explained everything before he did it. I was diagnosed with wet macular degenerative disease. I was not familiar with this at all. Between Dr. Thomas and his team, by the time I leaving to go home I had a good understanding of what was happening with my vision. I was expecting to be given another appointment and told to come back to begin treatment. To my surprise and happiness he began my treatment the same day. I would definitely recommend Dr. Thomas to anyone having problems with their eyes.
