Dr. Starr as usual is clear about what is known and what is not. His professionalism is so obvious. His knowledge of this virus condition, and a range of other issues I have had, builds confidence.

Dr. Starr is a wonderful doctor. My annual check ups are easy to schedule & he is on time. I had an ocular migraine one day and he took me in immediately, did a comprehensive exam and put me at ease with his calm demeanor. He followed up as well and was easy to get in touch with. His office staff is amazing as well!

I found Dr. Starr to be very thorough and reassuring. I had an issue with my eye and the doctor spent a great deal of time to explain in detail what I was experiencing and what he was going to do to resolve the issue (which he did). His staff was very friendly, efficient and accommodating.

I have been going to Dr. Starr for years. He has helped me manage my allergies that affect my eyes. My visit was great, and I highly recommend Dr. Starr.

All of my visits have been excellent.

Dr. Starr has been fantastic. After about 6 month of treatment with other eye doctors, with no success in curing my eye issues, Dr. Starr immediately identified what the issues were and started me on the right path. After 3 visits in a month, I am back wearing contacts, something my previous doctor could not do in 6. Everyone in the office is extremely professional, and accommodating. They do a great job to make sure the visit is efficient and pleasant.
