Patient Reviews
Jul 26, 2023
A follow-up report: In December 2021 I wrote a review about my experience with Dr. Kootman and how miraculously my cataract surgery and toric interocular lens replacement went. I'm happy to say that Dr. Kootman continues to monitor my eye condition carefully and I'm still amazed at the results - still 20/20. And it is still a bit strange to not have to put my glasses on first thing.
