Reviews for Dr. Courtney

“If you need eye surgery, especially laser treatment don't hesitate to go here, or ask your optometrist to refer you. This practice is a class act all the way. I came in today as a first-time patient and was in and out in 2 hours including having laser treatment for lattice degeneration I.e. a hole on my retina. Dr. Courtney and the staff are the best! Thank you so much everyone for making me feel safe.”

“I can't thank Dr Courtney and his staff enough at this office. They are always so friendly, reassuring and the level of care is outstanding. I have AMD and my eyesight is so much improved I can now do fine needlework again. Thank you so much everyone!”
