This year I had a DSEK transplant in my right eye and a DMEK transplant in my left eye. It is absolutely awesome to be able to see again, to be able to read without a magnifying glass or to ask someone to read something to me because o couldn’t see it. I now can see airplanes in the sky etc. I think Dr. Van Norman is an awesome physician and surgeon and cares about his patients well being, a rarity these days. I highly recommend him for any eye issues that anyone could posdibly have.

Every time I see Dr Van Norman they are running behind. It would be nice if they were more careful in their scheduling.
