Yes, hi, I like Dr. Dohlman. He is very kind and respectful. The only thing with this visit is when I left I was very confused because he was sending me to another doctor.

My son is the patient. He has Down syndrome and requires patience. We are always treated with kindness and respect. My questions are answered regarding his care now as well as in the future. I appreciate the level care and we respect both shown. Before we came here for my son's treatment we were in another medical office. The staff refereed to the doctors here as the "cornea whispers." This is a true reputation.
