Care Philosophy
Staff Information
George Patterson MD Ophthalmology, Cataracts, Glaucoma, LASIK,
 

Care Philosophy 
Your time is valuable and if you make an appointment you expect to be seen on time. You can expect prompt and personal ophthalmology care for children over 5 and adults. In general my philosophy is conservative mainstream treatments that have been proven with time rather than one which is a new and unproven with time.
