Patient Reviews
Nov 29, 2023
I had a regular appointment to check a macular pucker and my vision had deteriorated since my last visit. Dr. Feist explained everything very well and took the time to answer my questions until I was sure of the procedures going forward. The appointment went well, the staff was very nice and they got me right in to see the doctor. Would highly recommend.
