Outstanding provider. This was the first time I saw this physician (took over for someone who recently left Hopkins). He had clearly reviewed my medical history and prior images, and he conducted a very comprehensive eye exam. He saw some potentially subtle changes that required an imaging study and explained the rationale and at the same time provided reassurance. He was respectful, clear in his communication skills, and he followed up by MyChart soon after I had the study. I very much appreciated his kindness and expertise.
