Patient Reviews
Mar 14, 2024
The staff was on time and very proficient in their testing, Dr Wood was professional and determined the cause of my left eye disorientation for close up reading. Although it is a normal part of my aging process, he helped with suggestions for better lighting and LED magnification. He is keeping close watch every 6 months to see if my eyes progress to wet macular degeneration. He will then refer me to a retina specialist for injections.
