Patient Reviews
Jan 02, 2022
Dr. Kapner provided me with excellent care for years, including taking care of me with my cataracts. My case was difficult due to previous lasik surgery and having an astigmatism and he was able to correct my vision to where I no longer need any glasses after many, many years of contacts and glasses.
