You don't run across a specialist with the bedside manner of Dr. Fivgas, he treated my 5 year old son as I would treat him. He was focused on my sons comfort level and pain level, not on the amount of time he was in the room. Highly recommend him. Truly blessed and thankful Dr. Fivgas was on call that day, because with out him my son would have lost his eye.

Dr. Fivgas is a very thorough doctor and one that should come highly recommended. I have been a patient for 5 years now, and can truly say that without his expertise, I would not have my eyesight today. Appointments can be long, but much of this is due to dilation or other pre-exam necessities. It is hard for us to remember that specialists have to take emergency cases on a regular basis, therefore, we may experience a delay. If I were the emergency, I would be grateful to get in and get the required attention necessary.
