I wish I could give him higher numbers than a 5. Dr. Thanos was very caring, professional, treated me with dignity and respect. Explained fully the treatment I need. Took the time to answer all my questions. I cannot say enough good things about him. I will highly recommend Dr. Thanos and your facility. It was definitely an A+ in all interactions with staff. The most pleasant experience I have had.

Any confusion or misunderstanding was not the result of how I was treated. I'm old, I'm slow, physically and mentally. All persons met during my appointment experience were extremely kind and considerate. I was immensely disappointed (and frightened) at not being able to resolve my vision. I continue to be confused and surprised with still more referrals.
