Not only did I feel confident with Dr. London as a eye surgeon, but his bedside manner is exceptional! I am extremely claustrophobic and wanted to be put out for my Vitrectomy. I also hate needles and the idea of one being in my eye was terrifying!!! He assured me over and over that deep sedation was all I needed and I he knew I would do fine. He was absolutely right!! I was not conscious of anything during the procedure! I was scared for nothing! Dr. London does many of this and other surgeries and always brings his “A” game! I’m glad we did the deep sedation only, not just because it was safer but recovery was a half hour as opposed to many hours. Also you can have the procedure done in their lovely Surgery Center instead of a hospital setting. It was a wonderful relaxing experience!!! I felt like a Kardashian! It’s very intimate and quiet and you’re not around a lot of germs! Retina Consultants are also up on the latest on macular degeneration as you can read about… that on line. I wish I had found them for my father treatment! Thank you Dr. London and woderful staff! It’s very apparent you love your work and your patients!!!

Wonderful doctor. I have been to several other retina doctors nearby and Dr. London is the best. I need to get eye injections every month or so, and I used to have a red and painful eye afterwards - his are completely painless, and no bruising!!
