Patient Reviews
Jul 31, 2020
Dr Wiggins is an expert eye surgeon, with a kind, caring, professional manner. He was highly recommended to me by my ophthalmologist to do surgery to correct my double vision, and he did an excellent job! It is awesome to be able to see clearly again, and I am most grateful!
