Dr. Straut was excellent as always. He is currently working with me to battle a dry eye condition. We are trying out new solutions to the problem. He is concerned that we find a good solution that I can use without breaking theShow more bank. I really appreciate that approach. The staff were extremely courteous as always, there are always a lot of patients moving in and out of the waiting room as we work our way through various tests and things and the staff handled it all beautifully.
