After 60+ years of extreme nearsightedness, I can now see almost 20/20 thanks to my cataract surgery by Dr. Makris. No more glasses or contact lenses; the freedom is great. The entire process was painless as well as professional. I can’t recommend them enough!
Really good group of people. I was very satisfied that there was not a lot of waiting.
Completely satisfied. Looking forward to finishing up with surgery of right eye in two weeks.
