What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
So far, I've only had one ( the first) visit with him. Shay- the lady who took me into the room and ran a few checks of my eyes is very nice, friendly, very comfortable to be around. She gets a 10!! Dr. Tom gets a 10!! Took a lot of time explaining the steps, recovery, and all involved into my eye operation. Very friendly. Listened to my questions
