Jul 22, 2022
I went to Peter Schwartz for blurry vision and he immediately recognized macular degeneration. I was at a retinal surgeon's office in Syracuse 3 hours later and they saved my vision in my right eye. I have been going to Dr. Schwartz for about a decade and can't say enough good about him.
