This Dr, truely is God sent. People get on here and complain about wait time, as if that has anything to do with this man's excellent skills and capabilities. He saved my quality of life and did the impossible. I would never want any surgeon except Dr Bochow, in or near my eye. Thank you Dr Bochow, you are respected and loved by your patients!
