I had RLE (cataract surgery) this past month. I am very pleased with the results. Should have done it when I hit 50 instead of 60 y/o. Very good staff and personable doctors. Some of the wait times at the office were a bit long, 50 minute wait time today, but what can you do when there emergencies.
