Patient Reviews
Jul 02, 2020
I made an appointment with Dr Newsome as he had so very much knowledge, education and experience with cataracts. I had an advanced cataract in one eye and a cataract that didn’t bother me in the other. We discussed repairing both eyes: I wanted to wait on one eye’s cataract replacement (to keep my good eye’s nearsightedness), he said that would be fine. After surgery, he reassured me it went well. It’s more than a year later and I am still amazed I can do without glasses after 50 years of wearing them. He and his staff were all very amenable to Providing Information and Answering Questions and proceeding as I wished
