More than 1 year agoJoy Y.Verified patient
Dr. Haight is very professional and always answers any questions I have. He is always very pleasant. I have been going to him about 20 years and if it wasn't for him I would not have what vision I have. He is by far my most favorite doctor and I will miss him, as I will be moving out of the area soon.
