Patient Reviews
Mar 11, 2021
Dr. Heffelfinger is an amazing surgeon who actually listens to a patient's input and acts upon it. He changed my original lens choice between my first and second cataract surgery to give me the best possible result. I highly recommend him to anyone needing such surgery.
