I hate filling out these forms because it's very difficult to read them. After all, I am going to the eye doctor. Also, what really bothered me about this visit is I was kind of in urgent need of speaking with Dr. Barr. However, I could not get a timely appointment with him. I couldn't get through the Person schedule the appointments.

I had a detached retina and saw Dr. Barr as a second opinion. I was able to be seen the same day. Dr. Barr spent a lot of time explaining the procedures, and then spoke with Dr. Verma and helped schedule my surgery. I am very grateful to Dr. Barr, Dr. Verma, Sarah (the resident) and the entire Lion's Eye staff.
