I've seen several ophthalmologists about some difficult to diagnosis symptomology. I'm relieved that Dr. Do finally got it right. In addition to being knowledgeable, he is also a clear and patient communicator. I recommend him. The assistant was also good.

I am very nervous when I go to the eye doctor. Dr. Garfinkel has a pleasant way of calming me even though he does not know I am nervous.

Dr. Sanders has been treating me for a RVO for a number years. With confidence I recommend him to everyone with any retina condition. The injections are changing as the newest drugs become available to him. He is extremely professional and caring. I feel so lucky to have him treat this forever condition painlessly-yes you feel a bit of pressure not pain. .
And I must add his sense of humor makes the visits tolerable...
