Patient Reviews
May 08, 2024
Seeing a new eye care provider, I was skeptical. Being an optician for more than 20years. Meeting Dr Baron was the best thing that ever happened to me. He was very patient, and knowledgeable about everything. I was very impressed at how much time he spent with each patient, and making them understand what’s going on with their eyes. I was blown away. Very good doctor.
