I was initially very nervous about undergoing cataract surgery, but the surgeon's professionalism and reassuring demeanor put me at ease. The operation was a success, and my vision has improved dramatically. I am so thankful for the excellent care I received.
The level of care and attention I received during my cataract surgery was outstanding. The surgeon explained everything thoroughly, and the procedure went smoothly. My vision has been restored, and it feels like a miracle. Thank you for changing my life!
All staff were well trained and helpful. Phone Text updates were plentiful and informative. Facility was very clean and organized. The only negative was the wait time in the waiting room. Although the overall time at the facility was as advertised, a 1 hour+ chunk of time in the waiting room is still a lot.
