 I use a walker and need assistance sitting and standing. The staff was very accommodating regarding my limited mobility.
*not only met my expectation, but exceeded. this was my 1st visit. thank you all.
My appointment met all my expectations/needs. Dr Budner performed a comprehensive exam and took the time to discuss any concerns. I also plan to have my wife come to his practice for her eye needs.
