How likely are you to recommend Dr. Kounkel?
I recently had cataract surgery by Dr. Kounkel. She explained the surgery, options I had for intraocular lenses and answered all of my questions. She was very thorough with the post operation instructions and always spent extra time answering my questions. I want to thank her for my excellent vision.
