I'm getting older and never thought I'd be here with some things regarding my health. Dr. Yuwadat became a part of my medical team of doctors, during the pandemic when things were scary. I can't thank him enough for how he carefully guided me and informed me on the treatment regarding fluid in my eye, type 2 diabetes affecting my eyes and all things with my vision in between.

I was recommended retina surgery and the press towards the surgery was a concern, seeming absolutely necessary with not much discussion on how it may potentially affect me.

I have been seeing Dr Sami Uwaydat for almost a year. He is such a kind man, very soft spoken and always assures me that "your going to be ok" That is what patients want to hear. When he is talking to residents, he always reviews their work and I hear him say "excellent" or "good work" and that makes me feel better because he gave it his seal of approval.
