Dr Stern is amazing. He saved my father’s life by a diagnosis he came to by examining, not only his eyes, but the change in his all around health condition. His knowledge of what the eyes can tell you about your whole body, is what makes him a GREAT eye specialist compared to a good eye specialists. Thank you Doctor!!
