What our patients have to say
“Every time I have an appointment at Cornea Consultants, the entire staff makes me feel at ease and welcome. They take the time to listen to my concerns and worries. Even when the situation with my cornea was at it’s worst, Dr. Eden and all the staff made me feel comfortable and confident that they would do everything possible to help me. I never feel like “just another eye” but like they see me as a whole person who hopes to maintain her lifestyle and vision.” – K. Rogan
