Came in for a corneal abrasion causing severe pain and left with a contact lense acting as a bandage over it, instant relief. Made sure my eye was numbed up as soon as it started wearing off so that my discomfort was minimal whichShow more was very appreciated. Overall great experience, they got me in same day as I called which is fantastic when you cant see and every blink or eyeball movement feels like being stabbed with a needle in the eyeball.

He is a wonderful doctor. Takes the time to listen. I highly recommend his services. if you have to wait a little while to see him, because he is listening to other patients. He is worth the wait. I have never felt rushed andShow more my concerns are addressed. I don’t feel like a number. I am a very complex neuro patient and I am grateful that he is a part of my team.
