My visit went very well from check-in to check-out. Everyone was very helpful and courteous. Especially Dr. Kathleen Vize. She took the time to explain how my cataracts were affecting my vision and how I would benefit from cataract surgery. I have now had surgery on both eyes and the results are fantastic. Thank you Dr Vize for your care and advice.
