Had a bad accident and hit my face on coral while I was out surfing. My eye got infected and by the time I finally went to the doctor my vision was almost gone. Dr. Danforth saved my vision

Went in to see this doctor while I was on vacation. I had started losing vision in one eye and Dr. Danforth promptly saw me, diagnosed me, and prescribed a treatment plan. He followed up with me via call everyday I was on vacation to check in and he even worked with my doctor once I got back home to make sure my treatment was continued. I’m all better thanks to Dr. Danforth!

I went to many doctors before him and they told me I didn’t have an issue. I knew I had an issue and this doctor was the only one who was able to spend enough time necessary to identify what it was and give me the correct eye drop prescription

My dad would be alive today if it wasn’t for Doctor Wendell Danforth. Check the North Carolina medical board to see just some of what he has done.
