Patient Reviews
Dec 30, 2025
Dr. Watson referred me to the right specialist (for diabetic retinopathy) and continues to see me about every six months for general eye health, specifically, my slightly elevated eye pressure that we use eye drops to treat, and another kind of drops for dryness. Thanks to their care, my eye health continues to improve.
