Patient Reviews
May 28, 2023
My previous ophthalmologist does not provide the light adjustable lens. To insure I found the best cataract surgeon I visited three ophthalmologist and had an evaluation including dilation. Not only did I want to evaluate the doctor but I wanted to see the quality of the staff. Dr. Bergen’s staff is outstanding. As a team they are unbeatable. It was an easy decision to select Dr. Berger and his team. I had the light adjustable lens implanted and could not be happier. I’m now 20/20. Thank you Dr. Berger and staff.
