I was told that I have Glaucoma, but got the secondo opinion at another hospital and there was no Glaucoma. My husband was told the same thing and he didn't have it either. He was very famous that he has been telling to his patients that they have Glaucoma. You should stay away from him.

Attitudes are very cold and they were like machines. Doctor was super busy and tested me for 5min, and disappeared suddenly, and that was the end of examination. The stuff treated elderly people very badly and it was almost no hospitality. I won't go there again.
