Dr. Richard A. Garfinkel has been great. The previous Retina surgeon did a horrible job. Dr. Garfinkel did well and has been great with follow-ups.

Dr. "G" repaired my torn retina in 2015 and has been a superb 'follow-up' surgeon for me ever since. He patiently answers all my questions and takes the time to make show me the technical 'photos' that confirm all is going well. Top scores to all the support staff at the Retina Group of Washington as well. Love the free parking too!

Had to have shot. Not my favorite thing to happen but Dr G. did great job! Also has made available to buy pain eye drops which help any pain when I am home. Have been a patient for long time and very pleased with treatment I have received. Also all other support staff very kind and helpful.
