Dr Price obviously has a very busy practice, Yet he never rushes you. He’s always cheerful, takes the time needed to exam your eyes and then to share all pertinent information. Eye shots can be daunting, but he skillfully prepares the area and painlessly gives the shot. I feel completely confident in his care.
Enjoyed my visit. I was not disappointed. As a fellow physician who presented as a patient, really appreciated the patience, respect and compassion afforded me by Dr. Cofoid , who was referred in high regard by other physicians and patients, and excellent staff. I would without reservation highly recommend to my patients and family members!!

I see Dr Deasy every 16 weeks or so for injections, and even though injections aren't a fun thing, I could not be happier. You can tell that he and his staff are genuinely concerned with your eye health, and it feels great to have such a knowledgeable doctor and team in your corner. Also. I'd be remiss if I didn't me tion the amazing folks at check in ans the very patient people who are in imaging. Everyone from start to finish are incredibly wonderful!
