I was skeptial about seeing a new Opthamologist overall as the one i had been with for years retired. I’m diabetic and Dr. Deobhakta was recommended to me. He was nothing short of amazing! Very knowledgeable in diabetes, professional, kind, and thorough. I appreciate the time he took to get to know my history and within my overall eye exam.
