“Dr Gold was excellent. His staff mostly were good. Only small issue I had was I kept getting text and emails repeatedly about my appointment. Confusion, Text said 9AM and email 9:45AM. Other than that all was very good. Dr Gold, was very attentive and informative. Very nice individual. I highly recommend him.
Glasses were inexpensive as well. I will not know quality of the glasses until 10 days to 2 weeks before I get them to assess at that time. ”
