“Excellent visit. I was very impressed by the technology used to examine my eyes. I had been experiencing new floaters and wanted to make sure there wasn't anything more serious wrong with my eyes and Dr. Vu put my mind at ease. More importantly, he explained what we can do if the situation doesn't resolve itself (a welcome change from other eye doctors who had said pretty much "You'll get used to it", and scheduled a follow-up in 4 months. Highly recommended!”
