Saw Dr. Noakes as a follow up to my LAL+ (light adjustable lens) cataract surgery. He did an excellent job at really helping me understand what was possible in the adjustment process. I have total confidence in my coming appointments to complete the adjustment and lock in process!

One of the best visits I have had at the clinic. All my questions I had before my appointment were answered before I even asked them.
