Verified patient
Dr. Swerving was really great! He explained everything to me and I actually learned a few things I didn't know before. This was also the first time in all my years of having my eye pressure checked that I didn't blink or flinch or even feel him do anything! Really awesome! I look forward to my annual exam now and not dread it like I use to.
