Student Review
"Wonderful site! With 5 ophthalmologists and 3 optometrists, this is a very busy site that sees lots of disease. Dr. Bergman is very easy to get along with and very approachable. The other doctors and technicians are very good about coming to get you for interesting cases. I was able to see various ocular surgeries such as cataract surgery, lid surgery, vitrectomies and a DSEK while I was there. Additionally, I was able to discuss and learn about various diseases and treatments from the ophthalmologists. I had a truly wonderful experience there and so glad I chose this site."
