He did my LASIK 4 yrs ago and I couldnt be happier with the results. No questioned was unanswered and he made sure I was satisfied. He is very thorough, just as you'd expect from a professional. Dr. DeStefano also fixed some minor eye issues I've had after the surgery. (unrelated to my LASIK). I have always had a pleasant experience with the whole CCEC staff as well.
