Patient Reviews
Dec 20, 2023
I have been seeing Dr. Shatz for years for my glaucoma and every time he is so kind and so direct in letting me know how things are going and I understand everything he says. Dr. Shatz is wonderful and very professional. I moved to Springfield from Northampton and I would not go to anyone else. I recommend Dr. Shatz 100%.
