Patient Reviews
Oct 26, 2023
We had an issue come up with my daughter’s retina and needed sound quality advice. Dr. Michelson called me later that evening and explained the situation and what type of specialist could handle it. He was very thorough and put our mind at ease as to what to expect. Exceptional Doctor and very experienced. Cannot thank him enough.
