Patient Reviews
Dec 23, 2018
I had surgery by Dr. Fuerst many years ago. It was a surgery that no one else would do. I had radial keratotomy before laser surgery was used to correct vision problems. Because of all the radial incisions, other doctors didn't want to operate. Dr. Fuerst did the surgery and I've had no problems with that eye since then. I lived in Glendale at that time. I've since moved to Pennsylvania and would go back to him in a heartbeat if I needed any surgery.
