      Dr. Dries was quick and very direct, which is highly appreciated when dealing with pediatric patients. He was encouraging about progress and future positive steps for my child's journey with glasses. He is also very good with animal sounds to keep small children focused.

      David Dries, was great treating my baby girl, handle her with care and made sure I was comfortable with what he was doing and if at any moment it was stressful for the procedure I could step out and come back in when it was done.
