Dr. Bakri spent quite a bit of time with us, explaining macular degeneration, treatment options, and all about the injection procedure. I have had several injections and my eyesight is definitely improving. I am very pleased. Thank you.

Dr Bakri sees my mother frequently for macular degeneration. She explains everything to us in a way we understand, and this reassures us. She is very patient with my mother. We definitely recommend her.
