I've been with this provider for a couple of years trying to determine the best course of treatment for my glaucoma. The provider is very methodical in trying different treatment options although it is frustrating that none have worked up to this point.

In regard to the question about the discussion of treatment, Dr PRUM did not have all of the available information from previous eye doctors to discuss future treatments

Dr. Prum was very nice and answered all of my questions. He was the only person I had contact with this time other than the front desk scheduling a future appointment.
