After getting my eyes dilated it can be a while. The reason being is Dr Donaldson is so concerned about every patients eye health. He takes his time and goes over my file and listens to any questions I have. I trust him.

Dr Donaldson is knowledgeable and efficient, he has absolutely no bedside manner. The process is inefficient, I waited 3 hours to see Dr Donaldson. I know he doesn’t waste time with his patients so I assume that he’s way overbooked.
