Comment - “ Banker is Aces ”
Wet Macular Degeneration is my issue and Dr. Banker is my guy. Identified my issue and had the first treatment done before I knew what was going on. (Thanks Doc!) Extremely intelligent ...and while I know that’s not mandatory, it certainly makes you feel good to know your Dr. is on the cutting edge of his industry. Very personable as well. Each month he handles my eye injections ... and the man hasn’t missed yet. Nice shootin’ Doc.
