No issues. Explained everything so I could make an informed decision that was best for me. Very friendly manner
Throughout the process Mr Kwartz has provided a warm, friendly approach which helped to allay any pre-surgery anxieties. The results of the cataract removal and the subsequent lens surgery went well beyond my expectations.
