Patient Satisfaction

How likely are you to recommend Dr. Alward?
I recently had a serious and complicated eye surgery, and as always, Dr. Alward performed it perfectly! Because of the fact that he is very meticulous and a perfectionist when it comes to his work as a surgeon (which most likely carries over into every aspect of his life) his patients benefit from his skills as a surgeon. Personally, I know that he has a deep concern for all of his patient's wellbeing and most importantly, he cares deeply that their sight be completely restored, if at all possible, in ALL cases. For those reasons, and the fact that I have a deep respect him, Dr. Alward will always be my favorite Opthalmologist.
