“I just wanted to thank you for everything you’ve done and continue to do for me and my eyes. Seeing my mother losing her eyesight to glaucoma has always weighed heavy on me. You have put my mind at ease that everything is being done to help preserve my vision and for that I am grateful. I am so fortunate to be under the care of an excellent surgeon who is also a caring and dedicated doctor.”
