        Our son is autistic and has sensory issues. The Doctor was very impatient with our son who had issues with the lights being in his eyes. Which is hard for anyone but especially our son. Frustrating for us to watch and wish there were better options for helping him work through this.

        The dr we seen was not kid friendly at all. He did not attempt to calm my daughter down other than give her goldfish. He should work with adults not in pediatrics.

        The doctor did an exceptional job of explaining the diagnostic procedures to my nine-year old daughter. So much so, that she will only see him for her eye doctor's appointments.

          I was NOT impressed at all. Was very vague and barely talked. And when he did it was straight to surgery. When I tried to ask questions I felt belittled. Not very good bedside manner at all.

          The doctor worked hard to get this evaluation, as my child was very upset by the time he came in, due to the wait time and the dilation. He really overcame her fit, completed the exam timely, and was very nice about the whole situation.
