Patient Reviews
Dec 09, 2018
Dr. Fuchs literally saved the vision in both of my eyes. I had a retinal detachment in each eye four years apart, and he did the surgery both times. He has checked and reassured over the years that my eyes are fine and not in any danger of detaching again. He is highly regarded and respected in his field as a physician, and he's also a warm and humorous person. I will always be grateful for him.
