    I was totally satisfied from when I first walked in with an emergency with my eye problem all the way to the second appointment. I cannot complain. The staff was wonderful. The care, I mean, I don't see where it can be improved because you have top of the line care. And I really thank you. Totally satisfied.

    I would have appreciated a way to get in touch for a follow-up. I wasn't really given any sort of timeline for when a follow-up would be necessary or how to get any further information from the doctor if I needed it. But everything seems clear, so no problem. Thank you.

    there is no way I would have any thing to say about how I was treated. Dr Oakman was wonderful. He called me the evening of my surgery to check up on me. I have never had a doctor do that. This is the second time I have had this call because this is my second surgery. He is the best drI have ever had.
