I was there for two hours and never saw a doctor. They tried to do a long list of test that I had already had at my ophthalmologist that could have been shared with them beforehand to save time. I had an MRI and I wanted a doctor to walk me through the findings of my optic nerve no communication was given. Also the technology used for test and screenings are out dated.

We basically had to ask if there were any treatments that might help. After we asked, she recommended the low vision center, but not until we asked. It seems that if she felt that might help, she would have mentioned it without a prompt from us.

Dr. Biousse evaluated my glaucoma unusually aggressive progress in my right eye and suggested to have MRI and blood test in order to find if something else causes loss of my vision In the right eye. I thought It was superior thinking.

The PA was extremely knowledgeable about his area of study. However, he was not familiar with the optimism and knowledge that comes with knowing Jesus as a healer.
