He told me that my son had a stigmatism but not the degree and then I don't know when my son should wear his glasses and what sort of eye site that he has. Near? Far? I will admit that I am quite ignorant of optics.

Dr. Jardine is our absolute favorite doctor! My son needed surgery on both eyes and Dr. Jardine talked us through everything before and made our son feel safe and comfortable. This was his follow-up appointment and we were given a plan for following up to be sure surgery worked and after we left, my son told me that he really likes that doctor and he wants to go back and talk to him! He is amazing with the kids and great with parents.

Dr. Jardine is the best ophthalmologist we've EVER had. He takes time to provide a thorough examination, diagnosis and treatment plan. He explains things clearly and answers all of our questions. He took extra time with me on the phone when my wife had previously brought my son to the appointment. He is great with kids without being condescending or talking down to my son. My son likes going to his appointments with Dr. Jardine and always feels comfortable in his presence. Dr. Jardine offered to be available on a weekend by email after our son had surgery and this was reassuring, even though we didn't end up contacting him.

nice doctor but always have to wait over an hour to see him for five mins and then he acts like he is in such a hurry that he doesn't have time to answer your questions or explain the long term goals. Being a pediatric ICU nurse I was frustrated that he wouldnt spend the time to explain what was going on and explain the long term plan -almost gave me the brush off as if I wouldn't understand it.

I would have liked more written information about my daughter's condition and the doctor's findings on examining her. he told me some things verbally but there were a lot of words I didn't know and therefore can't remember.
