Dr. Holland helped me with untangling some tests that my ex-ophthalmologist didn't really do very well. Dr. Holland is very caring, patient, kind, and explains things thoroughly. In reviewing my tests with him, I learned more about my eyes than I did in 10 yrs of seeing my old ophthalmologist! He's great!

I needed a diabetic "eye" checkup and Dr. Holland did a very thorough job.......probably better than I've ever had over my 60+ years! Don't need new glasses, eyes are healthy and I'm good to go. Very grateful for the care he gave. His staff were all very friendly, highly competent and attentive! Glad I found Dr. Holland's practice.

Dr. Holland is a very professional physician and has a very personable bed-side manner. As a senior citizen, it is comforting to have a doctor who explains in details exactly what is going on especially when it concerns your eyesight. Dr. Holland is also very accommodating when it comes to medical procedures.
