Patient Reviews
Jan 19, 2024
Amazing….top in his field .Anyone leaving a negative comment is fooling themselves.Dr. lama is totally thorough ,never in 12 years has he ever rushed an examination or left without going over everything. I have been to many Dr.s that misdiagnosed me , and others that fell short in their treatment .Which caused me to lose some vision ,my pressure was in the 50s . Miraculously I found Dr. Lama after searching the internet for the best glaucoma Doctor . Dr. lama treated me with medication, laser and eye operation 12 years ago . MY pressure to this day is down in the teens .No more vision has been lost. I know how serious glaucoma is for my Mom and Aunt went blind from it . I only wish my Mom would have found Dr. Lama . I trust this man with my life . I guess I should mention I’m high anxiety when it comes to doctors and meds . Dr. lama put my fears to rest . His staff is WONDERFUL ,there is nothing but positive vibes in that office believe me . Very happy patient !!!! Eileen Scandiffio
