I am very thankful to Dr. Katsev for his medical management of my eyes. I have struggled with red eyes for so long and he actually was the first to try an intervention that I hadnt heard of and worked. He was also very flexible and patient when I had my child with me at an appointment. I appreciate that he did not seem annoyed that I had to bring a child with me once.
