What a perceptive man is Dr Kirsch. He zero'd in on my condition and clarified it almost immediately relieving me of any concerns I had regarding my vision both now and for the future. Unlike optometrists seen in the past. He is awesome.

Dr. Kirsch and his associates have been kind, understanding and professional in all our meetings. He performed surgeries on both my eyes and all has gone well. He listened, explained and even comforted me. I am not an easy patient. I thank him and his staff for all their patience with me. I can see well again.

Dr Kirsch has closely monitored my eyes since cataract surgery. He was able to clear up my vision using a YAG laser about a year after my surgery. This was due to a film forming behind the implants, which is fairly common for a person my age. I have complete trust in him as a medical professional and recommend him highly.
