I was worried about what was going on and I was relieved to know that all will be well given time. I was able to get an appointment within the week of concern and my pursuit to find someone new and I am very happy with what I heard and saw today. Thank you, Dr. Brandon Johnson.

The only confusion was in the scheduling process: The appointment I chose from ZocDoc was not actually available, so somebody had to call me back to re-book (and that person did not leave her name, so it was a little confusing), and, even though I did change the appointment with somebody else, she still called me to reschedule a few days later. It was like they weren't communicating internally.

Dr. Johnson is very knowledgeable and caring. He took the time to examine my eyes throughly and explain exactly what was occurring. He explained in detail what to expect in the future and particular circumstances that I should watch for, pay attention to and be aware of.
