Student Review
"I learned most about refractive surgeries at Woolfson, with a close second in corneal conditions, specifically Keratoconus, Dry Eye, and s/p PKP/DSAEK. The doctors are all very approachable and willing to teach. Some take a more active role in teaching, others you must seek out, but they are very open to questions and discussion. I had a wonderful time at this site, and recommend it to fellow students."
