Patient Reviews
Oct 14, 2022
Know what he is doing; follows all standard protocols, has competent staff and is quite thorough. If you ask, offers thorough explanations, as detailed as you can handle, of problems, procedures, outcomes. Has a very busy multi-location practice; you will have to wait a bit to see him. But he does not act rushed when he is with you. Does not sell unnecessary surgery. Tries hard to accommodate out of network insurance and limit patient out of pocket costs. (Billing is a bit Byzantine, but not to the detriment of the patient.) After years of routine care, it was time for my wife to have cataract surgeries with lens implants. We did one eye, then the other, after full recovery, with no complications. Her uncorrected vision is now better than 20-25 in each eye.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams.
