Dr. Pfahler treated my husband on an emergency basis. He was referred to him for a torn retina, and had treatment within hours by Dr. Pfahler. As it turned out, he found a tear in the other eye as well and came in on a Saturday to do that one. He was kind, friendly and explained the procedures. It was unfortunate that we had to cancel a long awaited trip because of the surgery, but we couldn't be more please with the care my husband received.
