"Dr Gilbert is a brilliant ophthalmologist, well respected by other ophthalmologists and her patients."
- Vitals"My experience with Dr Fountain was excellent.She was caring, straightforward and did a very good job.I would recommend her in a heartbeat!"
- WebMD"My wait time was 3-1/2 Hrs. I approached his front desk and told reception that I would be leaving if Dr. Epstein did not see me within the 10 minutes. I waited 20 minutes befoee seeing him. I will be cancelling my upcoming cataract surgery with him. The wait time is unacceptable. He may be a great surgeon but I feel he has little regard for his patients."
