Several years ago, a friend enthusiastically recommended Dr. Tesser to me. As a result, I took my mother to Dr. Tesser for an exam and consultation. Her cataract surgery, the follow-up procedures and her improved quality of life were an overwhelming blessing. A few years later I found myself in need of the same procedure. The results were amazing. Forgotten colors, God's displays in the night sky, seeing the open sights on my rifle; were back! Dr. Tesser knows and applies his gift. He and his staff communicate at the level required to put patients at ease. When you have a good Doctor, keep your good Doctor, period.

Every aspect of my visit was above my expectations! The nurse who did the pretesting was amazing - explained everything in detail to me (what the test was, how long it would take, what I could expect to feel, etc.) Dr. Tesser spent plenty of time answering my and my husband's questions and explaining the findings.
