Patient Reviews
Feb 06, 2019
Doctor Genis is an amazing doctor! She performed a complicated cataract surgery for my 76 yo mother, who was completely blind on 1 eye; everything went very well, and when next day following the surgery Dr. Genis removed the protective eye cover, my mom started crying as she was so very happy to be able to see again. Thank you, amazing Dr. Genis!
