Patient Reviews
Apr 25, 2024
Dr. W. Scott Thompson, MD is the best. After the Retina detachment repair surgery, my vision is excellent. I was lucky that I found this doctor. Thank you doctor Thompson for giving me back my sight and correcting the mistake of Horrible doctor whose name is doctor Jacquelyn Daubert Levy, MD who performed cataract surgery.
