I am so very happy with everything especially my vision since the surgery .
Dr. V was really awesome and the surgical staff was awesome and the doctor's office was very good. I really appreciate everyone and they did a great job. Thank you.
Very professional.
Excellent surgeon who effectively communicated all the risks associated with this treatment.
Dr. V is so kind, knowledgeable, and professional.
I found Dr. V to be very personable and very interested in answering questions and fully explaining what she needed to do.

She's intelligent, kind and very personable.

Excellent. Liked her a great deal. Wish I had gone to see her sooner! Very positive experience.
