I feel he was too rushed because he had too many patients. There was a very long wait time.

His was very knowledgeable, thorough, and took time to answer questions.
7/2/2026
He is the kindest doctor I have seen in a long time. Even though there are people waiting, he gives a person a decent time to discuss eye problems. He is very caring. He is a "keeper".
