    Dr Daoud was thorough and very informative. I was seeking advanced consultation about a problem I had after eye surgery elsewhere and he was most helpful and gave me options for follow up care

    I felt that I was heard for the first time about my problem. I did have some questions I didn't get to address. Otherwise Dr. Daoud was wonderful.
