The most caring and patient Dr. that I have ever had in my life. She treats you like family. She takes time to actually listen to you. She helped me with a major issue I had with a family member. That made me realize she was a Dr. like no other. I love this Dr. and her practice. The entire office is awesome!

Dr. Irene Draga did my cataract surgery in a modern surgical center. I was a very reluctant patient but am extremely satisfied with the outcome and the overall care I received. The surgery has improved the quality of my life. Dr. Draga was very patient with me and has a very kind and pleasant manner of dealing with patients. She is very thorough in her explanations and instructions and takes a lot of time with each patient.

Everyone values their eyesight particularly those like myself that enjoy what nature offers. Most importantly, my love of reading for 70 plus years continues to be insured by over 20 years of professional care including two cataract removals.

I have been a patient of Dr. Draga's for many years. She is unfailingly kind and considerate and generous with her time. Recently I had cataract surgery in both eyes. Dr. Draga carefully explained the procedure and told me exactly what to expect. It went as she said it would. She is a truly outstanding physician.
