Patient Reviews
Dec 15, 2021
As an adult seeing a pediatric ophthalmologist, I have to mention that Dr. George (Rick) Whitehead is very thorough and professional . He performed several tests that should have been done by other ophthalmologists in the past. He spent time going over the positives and negatives of eye muscle surgery and what I can expect following the surgery.
