Why patients come to him — even when there’s a wait
Every claim can be checked. Below it is the document or video it comes from.
He takes on what others turn down
At the clinic, only he operates on ptosis and strabismus. His price list includes the orbit, exophthalmos, scleral lens fixation and iris repair. In one video a patient has cataract, ptosis, exophthalmos and strabismus — and he handles all the treatment on his own.
Like the watchmaker people turn to when other workshops have given up.
