I visited Dr. Tom today for a general eye exam and it was an overall amazing experience. The office was very well kept and the front desk staff was the most pleasant I've dealt with in quite some time. Dr. Tom himself was great. The exam was very thorough and he made sure to explain every step of the process. He listened to all of my concerns and made sure to address them during the examination. In doing so, I feel that I left the office with a complete understanding of my overall eye health. I can tell that he treats all of his patients like family and I am thrilled to have found a GREAT Ophthalmologist nearby. I highly recommend Dr. Tom!

I hope the doctor realizes the “small” mistake in the cataract surgery he performed on my eye has made my life miserable forever.
