    The doctor seemed to be preoccupied or maybe just in a hurry to get to the next patient. I mentioned seeing a green light in my right eye and the response was don't look for trouble, trouble will find you. Then she headed to the door. I had more questions, as she was leaving I asked about getting my medical records, she responded while walking out to go to the portal. I had another question but she was gone. If someone happens to read this message I wanted to ask about eye vitamins and if the doctor had any recommendations for me.

Her explanations are always thorough and she makes sure that I totally understand. She's a wonderful listener and I know she is an excellent retinal specialist. When I thanked her for agreeing to see me, despite my tardiness, she said "but of course, when the receptionist comes to ask me, I will say yes. After all, patients frequently have to wait for physicians ". I know I can find a retinal specialist Closer to my home, but the care that I received there and the knowledge of the care that I will continue to receive under her care is certainly worth the inconvenience of the location. I would recommend her to anyone.
