“I was from out of town and lost sight in my right eye. My regular eye doctor advised me to go to the ER in case of a stroke. The ER doctor in conjunction with Dr. Vest did not feel that was happening and scheduled an appointment with Dr. Vest for the next morning. He thoroughly examined me and his thoughts about the cause were agreed to by my own doctor on a follow up appointment when I arrived back home.”
