Amazing staff and welcoming environment!
1 stars Marie C Verified customer
An arrogant, obnoxious and short tempered ophthalmologist who does not take the time to read a patient 's file before entering the consultation room.
I nearly stayed there 2 hours. He was late then refused to ask questions I had about the surgery yellinh at me that he spent too much time with me.
Worst experience ever.
