This provider squeezed in for an exam based on request from the surgeon's office. Based on results of MRI earlier that morning, the team needed the eye exam to determine my progression. The provided set the schedule immediately so that my husband and I could catch a flight that same evening. This saved us from rescheduling the flight and obtaining another night at a hotel. They were most courteous during my visit.
