He's been my eye doctor since he started practicing in Savannah and I wouldn't use anyone else. When I moved away from Savannah, I either came back for him to check my eyes or called him for a referral to someone.

I need to get a second opinion I've heard a lot of bad stuff about dr. Degenhardt and it seems to be true.

Impatient when my surgery wasn't as good as it was supposed to be. I ended up having to see another doctor to fix the problem he caused. As soon as I asked for second opinion he became defensive and rude
