Patient Reviews
Mar 14, 2023
I was asking for a second opinion on macular degeneration and he answered straightforwardly and directly and gave me good news. I would trust him, and like his friendly personality. He also has a few years of experience, thought he is youthful, judging by the waiting room, he is also popular. I am switching from my other retina doctor who terrified me about the need for shots, which was incorrect.
