UofU Patient June 30, 2018

I feel like we wait all year to see the doctor and then it feels like everything is so rushed and the appointment is over in less than 5 minutes, it seems. and, I feel like I am trying to get in all my concerns and questions while he is doing his exam. it feels like a whirlwind sometimes. I do thoroughly like the doctor though; just feel like he has too many patients to give good quality to each one.

UofU Patient June 13, 2018

Dr. Dries seems to me to underestimate my child's ability to complete an exam and give adequate data. My child is going to be in 4th grade and he still examines her as if she were 2. He uses toys, tools, and a tone of voice that would be used to engage babies. My daughter and I both recognize this. It affects her willingness to want to engage in the exam. I appreciate Dr. Dries' expertise. The clinic and equipment are top notch. But I always leave feeling dissatisfied.

UofU Patient May 23, 2018

He is always really nice. He has little toys and tricks to encourage cooperation from my son. Being 3 years old that can be tricky sometimes.

UofU Patient January 30, 2018

Dr, Dries was very kind. He was listened patiently about my daughter's history and answered my questions. He also dictated a letter for our school district.

UofU Patient November 05, 2017

great doctor!

UofU Patient September 26, 2017

Every time we come in for an appointment we feel like we are the only patient that they have that day. we have been well informed

UofU Patient September 23, 2017

Dr. Dries is fantastic! He's so personable, caring, and very competent. He has done wonders for my son!

UofU Patient September 06, 2017

I have seen Dr. Dries for about four years, and he is phenomenal. I have recommended him to several people.

UofU Patient July 21, 2017

dr dries is a little hard to understand sometimes. he is so intelligent and sometimes talks over my head.

UofU Patient January 07, 2017

he has always been patient. he has always been able to get my infant and toddler to cooperate so we get our little one taken care of

UofU Patient August 24, 2016

awesomeness

UofU Patient May 07, 2016

I would have liked more time with the Doctor for the exam.

UofU Patient April 10, 2016

We have always had excellent service/patient care from the office staff, medical assistants and Dr. Dries. I would highly recommend Moran, especially for children, but for adults with vision needs as well.

UofU Patient April 02, 2016

Very help, we always have a great experience when we visit his office. my daughter feels very comfortable with the doctor

UofU Patient March 23, 2016

Great always Thank You!

UofU Patient November 06, 2015

excellent physician knowledge and patient care

UofU Patient November 06, 2015

We absolutely love Dr. Dries and his staff! He is so talented and so kind - and did an AMAZING job on my sons eyes.

UofU Patient November 05, 2015

Incredible doctor.

UofU Patient November 02, 2015

We have been with this physician for about 4 years for our daughter's ambylopia. He tells us this is very minor and will get resolved eventually but there hasn't been any progress in 4 years. Our daughter is in kindergarten now and we don't want her reading or class participation to be hampered by her vision.

UofU Patient October 16, 2015

Dr Dries always takes the time to answer anything that I need help with. He takes the time to connect with not only the patient, my son, but also me.

UofU Patient October 11, 2015

I would recommend my children come here for problems

UofU Patient September 03, 2015

THis was the only good part of my experience...although I hated having to come back in. The doctor ended up telling me that he typically does a prescription for insurance purposes, it just didn't work out in my case. He did personally show me the change and I appreciated him truly making sure that I was happy. He also asked if I wanted to do an exam so that I didn't have to come back in for a year. Thank you!

UofU Patient September 01, 2015

Dr. Dries was EXCELLENT! We are so grateful for his kindness and expertise. Our little girl's eyes are straight and we already notice a difference in her attitude, she is so much happier already, even though she is still healing. What a miracle to have her eye sight restored/corrected. Very fond of Dr. Dries' work, and would highly recommend him in a heartbeat.

UofU Patient August 28, 2015

I have full faith and trust in Dr. Dries and am grateful for his help with my son. He is calm, careful, and helped educate me on my son's condition, so I could understand both the long and short term outcomes.

UofU Patient August 06, 2015

could not have been happier with the results from Dr Dries and information he provided

UofU Patient July 31, 2015

We have only good things to say about Dr. Dries

UofU Patient July 27, 2015

Dr Dries is pleasant and approachable. He never makes me feel dumb for the questions I have. He takes my concerns seriously. He genuinely cares about his patients.He explains procedures so that I understand what will be done and what to expect afterwards. I highly recommend him.

UofU Patient July 14, 2015

It was generally a good experience, how ever, I was disappointed that the provider did not attempt to get a pressure reading on the eye. That was kind of the whole purpose for this visit, or so I thought.

UofU Patient July 10, 2015

Thank you so much. Dr. Dries and his staff have given me back my life!

UofU Patient November 12, 2014

only spent a few minutes with us. he had to leave abruptly

UofU Patient October 03, 2014

Great visit, informative as always.

UofU Patient July 15, 2014

Not a better doctor! We love him! Have been with him for more than 10 years!!

UofU Patient July 07, 2014

I'm not sure if this is related to the surgery Dr. Dries performed or the follow-up appointment. Whichever one was Dr. Dries is wonderful. I have NO hesitation in referring him. He is amazing and I am so grateful that Moran's Dr. Bernstein and Dr. Katz referred him. Actually you have some incredible doctors and surgeons there and I truly owe them my eyesight.

UofU Patient July 03, 2014

We love Dr. Dries!

UofU Patient June 19, 2014

Dr. Dies is a kind but knowledable doctor. I reccommend him any chance I get. I appreciate that he is very busy but cares about my daughter (his patient) and any concerns that I may have. We always have positive experiences when we come to visit.

UofU Patient June 17, 2014

Am not sure if this is connected with pre-surgery or actual surgery on 6/10/2014. The entire pre and actual surgery experience was terrific. And, I honestly can't find enough words to describe how it feels to not have double vision any more. After all these years with problems and no one even remotely finding a solution except for prisms in eyeglasses it took Moran and Dr. Dries to help me. I am forever grateful.

UofU Patient April 28, 2014

I frequently refer my patients to Dr. Dries and his colleagues. Dr. Dries is responsive, efficient, and skilled.

UofU Patient April 26, 2014

Dr Dries and his staff were amazing!

UofU Patient April 24, 2014

We are no strangers to this clinic and have seen 5 of the doctors within the Peds Opthalmology speciality. Dr. Dries was patient with our daughter, who can be very difficult sometimes. He was rushed, as all of them are, because they run such a busy clinic. We've come to expect a lesser standard of care from this specialty because of the rushed feeling, the high wait times(which were strikingly low this time), and the less than professional assistants, who are probably just facing high burn out from such a stressful job.

UofU Patient April 24, 2014

Dr. Dries is so nice and friendly. he really makes you feel welcome and shows he cares.

UofU Patient April 07, 2014

He is great. I know he's a very busy doctor. He seemed a little rushed, which I'm not complaining about, as I know how many patients he sees. I would have liked to talk a minute or two longer about a previous comment he made on the diagnosis, but they way things went, I didn't get it in.

UofU Patient March 05, 2014

Dr. Dries is a very good doctor. I am glad that my son sees him for his eye appointments.

UofU Patient March 02, 2014

I've been very grateful for the amazing job Dr. Dries did on my son's eyes.

UofU Patient January 30, 2014

Best experience we have had thus far. Provider was very kind.

UofU Patient January 21, 2014

dr Dries is excellent. I always enjoy him.

UofU Patient December 11, 2013

The doctor did not explain what tests he was doing or why. he answered my question, but in the most basic terms and did not elaborate or follow-up to see if I understood. He did not spend much time with us or follow up on a concern I brought up. I was dissatisfied with this visit.

UofU Patient December 03, 2013

Overall we had a very good experience and appreciated Dr. Dries knowledge and kind approach. One thing he could have done to make our experience better would be to provide more specific explanations regarding prognosis and some practical details on what to expect in the future.

UofU Patient November 25, 2013

I feel like Dr. Dries is reading from a script when we visit. he literally says the same thing every time, very impersonal. if I didn't doubt his expertise, I would go elsewhere

UofU Patient November 13, 2013

Dr. Dries is always so friendly and gets so excited when things look good. He is always letting me know that I have done well in regards to my childs eyes and to keep up the good work.

UofU Patient November 11, 2013

Dr. Dries is a great doctor!

UofU Patient October 15, 2013

I really liked Dr. Dries. He explained things well to us and he was very friendly.

UofU Patient October 14, 2013

I simply cannot say enough good things about Dr. Dries. He is courteous, kind, informative and reassuring. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

UofU Patient October 10, 2013

very nice, no pressure approach to things. Appreciated his demeanor and interaction with us.

UofU Patient September 26, 2013

Dr. Dries was wonderful...Explaining things so I could understand and being so sweet with my 1 year old daughter!

UofU Patient September 24, 2013

we had a student doctor or whatever which I don't mind but dr D talked to him more than me, which wasn't a lot but I would have liked to feel heard a little more about my concern about my daughters eye.

UofU Patient September 23, 2013

We did not get follow-up care instructions because we had to leave before the exam could be finished. (see previous note)

UofU Patient September 20, 2013

It feels like he doesn't want you to open up and ask questions. It feels like you are not allowed to speak until it is permitted. It makes the interaction awkward and not as open, accepting and understanding as I believe it can be with an intelligent doctor who cares about communicating and giving patients the best possible understanding. Some doctors help you feel like they genuinely care and treat you like a good friend or family member instead of condescending to you like a patient they are in the business of treating.

UofU Patient September 11, 2013

Dr. Dries is very kind and works as quickly as he can without feeling pushy. He has a heavy schedule but makes sure to ask if I have any questions or concerns.

UofU Patient September 09, 2013

Dr. Dries is far ans away the best doctor either of my children have seen. He is concerned, knows what he is talking about and explains what is going on and what will likely happen with the patient. We could not be more pleased with his care of our daughter.

UofU Patient September 03, 2013

Dr. Dries is wonderful!!! I trust him 100% and am very grateful for his expertise!

UofU Patient August 26, 2013

I would have appreciated more explanation of the tests the doctor was running on my daughter so I could have explained them to her better.

UofU Patient August 06, 2013

Dr. Dries is wonderful!! We have been coming to this clinic for 6 years and highly recommend it. Dr. Dries went out of his way to get our surgery scheduled before we moved and our insurance changed. He is very knowledgeable and understanding when it comes to our concerns. So grateful we were referred to him 6 years ago.

UofU Patient July 30, 2013

The follow up care, I was on my way out and asked about if we were still patching. I guess I just hope that all my questions will be answered so I don't have to come with a list. So I was glad I asked but I guess I was concerned that if I hadn't of remembered then we'd still be patching as directed last time.

UofU Patient July 26, 2013

This appointment was a little rushed. But Dr. addressed my questions and concerns well.

UofU Patient July 22, 2013

I felt like the findings of the exam were not presented to me. Dr Dries could tell I wanted more Information and asked If I had questions buI couldn't think of the right questions to ask. I would have liked him to summarize what he found before talking about options.

UofU Patient July 15, 2013

We have reccommended Dr. Dries to several other people. I think he is awesome. We saw several other optometrists and ophthalmologists, and pediatric optometrists before coming to see Dr. Dries. He was the one we liked above all others, and trust with our daughters care. I know he is busy and hard to get into see, but I think that shows how great he is, and I don't mind waiting because I know I am seeing the best Doctor.

UofU Patient June 26, 2013

My daughter has been going to see Dr. Dries since she was a year old. She is now seven, and Dr. Dries has always taken the time to make sure that both she and I are comfortable and aware of what is going on, which was no small task when she was a toddler.

UofU Patient June 21, 2013

very impressed with dr. dries. very professional, accomplished, quick, informative, friendly and engaging

UofU Patient June 03, 2013

Again, the 1st nurse who did the initial eye test was not friendly and made it seem like she was not happy to help a 2 year old with an eye test. The second PA was great and he was very friendly. The Dr. was great as usual and very helpful.

UofU Patient May 30, 2013

Dr. Dries always seems in a rush and reluctant to answer questions, so over the years I've pretty much stopped asking. I feel like he thinks I won't understand what he's talking about or he'll scare me with the truth or something. I know he's experienced and that's great. I feel confident that he knows his stuff. He's always polite, just not very personable. Actually, this time he did better. I asked one question and he gave me a straightforward answer instead of a vague one. It was nice!

UofU Patient May 30, 2013

the doctor never actually told us the diagnosis and now I am at home worrying about my son. I will try today to call in and try and find out details. I just feel like everything is quite confusing and don't quite understand the stepsto getting him better

UofU Patient May 16, 2013

We feel very happy and lucky to have found Dr. Dries. We are very confident in his care.

UofU Patient May 10, 2013

we like dr dries A LOT

UofU Patient May 07, 2013

My only opinion would be to not tell parents you have seen worse. As a parent I know that doctors see all kinds and degrees of things. But when something isn't right with my child that IS the worst for me. It isn't comforting to hear it could be worse because for us it isn't normal which means it is bad.

UofU Patient May 06, 2013

Dr. Dries is always very kind and gives praise when parents are doing the right things to help their kids in the long run with their vision.

UofU Patient April 29, 2013

Dr. Dries is very calm and understanding. He doesn't make you feel like any questions or concern in dumb. He explains things very well and takes the time needed. I am so glad my sons eye care is with him.

UofU Patient April 29, 2013

I am very impressed with Dr. Dries. He really cares about his patients. I give him my highest recommendation.

UofU Patient April 22, 2013

He could use a little better personal manner. I felt a little like I was being talked down to.

UofU Patient March 27, 2013

Dr. Dries is the best. His manner is kind and patient, and he takes the time to talk things over with us.

UofU Patient March 19, 2013

Dr. Dries took the time to email me treatment info!

UofU Patient March 13, 2013

Dr Dries has great communication skills, and is very empathetic. Dr Dries and Dr Hartnett made our experience as good as it could be. They are both so compassionate about their patients and their jobs!

UofU Patient March 07, 2013

Doctor was very short with us, often cutting us off as we were speaking or asking questions. I felt like he didn't take any concern and didn't want to be bothered with our questions.

UofU Patient March 06, 2013

Some conditions scientifically and from a medical standpoint may seem bleak, but I think it helps the patient and family when there is always room for more hope especially from a spiritual perspective.

UofU Patient March 04, 2013

Doctor seemed extremely rushed. After waiting two months to see him, I wish we would have felt like more of a priority during our appt slot.

UofU Patient March 04, 2013

I like that Dr. Dries looks at me when he is explaining something to me or answering my questions. He also thanked me for helping him with my child.

UofU Patient March 02, 2013

Dr. Dries is an excellent doctor! I am very impressed with the way he interacted with me; he is friendly, knowledgeable, and very passionate about his work. I am glad I am under his care, and feel very confident in his abilities to help me.

UofU Patient February 25, 2013

Dr. Dries is simply the best care provider.

UofU Patient February 20, 2013

We tell every one about Dr. Dries and its so funny how many others we've met that have just the best things to say about Dr. Dries

UofU Patient February 19, 2013

Dr. Dries was extremely knowledgeable and I have complete confidence in his diagnosis and treatment plan. However, because he had multiple appointments scheduled at the same time, our appointment seemed very rushed. Because this was my first time and my child was extremely young, I was nervous going into the appointment. I had to prompt Dr. Dries to explain to me what was going on rather then him just knowing and telling me the bare minimum.

UofU Patient February 18, 2013

The doctor asked how I as the mother noticed the issue with my daughters eye. I started to explain and immediately he turned his back to me and was looking at my daughters eye and I thought, he isn't even listening to me, so I stopped talking mid story, and sure enough, it didn't even phase him. I also had a whole list of questions I wanted and was eager to ask the doctor and his answers were quick and short with little or no explanation. Which to me was extremely frustrating. I just felt that we were very rushed.

UofU Patient February 05, 2013

I regularly refer my patients to Dr. Dries, as well as bring my daughter to him for care. He clearly values efficiency in his office setting and interacts well with children. He is also exceptionally willing to help when I have a clinical issue that requires Ophtho input.

UofU Patient January 14, 2013

Dr. Dries is great!

UofU Patient January 14, 2013

He seemed genuine and very willing to listening.

UofU Patient December 26, 2012

I have already recommended Dr. Dries to others. I have enjoyed his matter-of-fact-ness as well as the information he's given me. I our most recent visit I did notice more personability as well as more information given. I really have appreciated this office.

UofU Patient December 18, 2012

Dr. was very good to give me understand information and references for additional contact with another specialist for correcting my problem.

UofU Patient December 17, 2012

Dr Dries and his nurses were great! My son was not very responsive and very shy but they never seemed bothered, impatient or frustrated. They remained very calm and collected. I would definitely refer!

UofU Patient December 17, 2012

Dr. Dries seemed highly informed. I enjoyed how he personalized the visit with some experiential stories. Some of our conversation was a bit "over my head", as he used some unfamiliar medical words/terms, particularly in regards to potential neurological issues that we will be exploring with an MRI. We are awaiting a copy of the transcription that he prepared for Kevin's pediatrician. Once we got home and were in the position to apply the eye-patch, we came up with some additional questions about duration of wear. I called the office and the associate who answered the phone was prompt in seeking an answer for us, and calling us back.

UofU Patient December 13, 2012

My husband was amazed how fast and nice the Dr was. And when you have a 5 year old speed is important.

UofU Patient December 12, 2012

Good

UofU Patient December 10, 2012

Dr. Dries is fantastic. I would recommend him to anyone.

UofU Patient December 06, 2012

Dr Dreis was very appreciate of my help in holding my daughter during the exam. Made me feel important to the success of the appointment. I really liked him.

UofU Patient November 29, 2012

He is an amazing doctor, so I would definitely refer him. I just don't feel like a valued patient.

UofU Patient November 21, 2012

My daughter had been a patient of Dr. Larson. We were sad to see him move. Dr. Dries was very positive and encouraging about my daughter's recovery 10 months after her surgery.

UofU Patient November 05, 2012

Dr. Dries was very professional and friendly towards patient. Exam was very quick, so an explanation of why the Dr. did not need to perform additional eye exam tests would have been helpful.

UofU Patient October 25, 2012

Wonderful! Thank you all so very much!

UofU Patient October 13, 2012

I appreciated how little wait time we experienced. However, the exam seemed more rushed than previous visits. Perhaps due to the reduction in wait time?

UofU Patient October 13, 2012

Whenever I come in contact with someone whose child is experiencing eye problems I recommend Dr. Dries.

UofU Patient October 04, 2012

Dr Dries is the BEST! I recommend him to everyone!

UofU Patient September 17, 2012

I was very impressed with Dr. Dries. He was so good with Kaden and listened.

UofU Patient September 17, 2012

We have been exceptionally pleased with the care Dr. Dries has provided our daughter over the past two years. One of the best doctors we have encountered in our time in Utah.

UofU Patient September 04, 2012

I came to Dr. Dries for a second opinion. He was very friendly and professional and I feel like he really cares about his patients and want to give them the highest quality service. It was worth the drive up there for him to hear about my concerns for my son's eye problems.

UofU Patient September 03, 2012

I feel like I received conflicting information regarding my son's treatment from previous appointment to this appointment.

UofU Patient September 01, 2012

Dr. Dries is amazing. Very qualified, kind and sympathetic. Thank you for ALL your help!

UofU Patient August 30, 2012

Wonderful doctor. We would definitely recommend him!

UofU Patient August 27, 2012

Appreciated Dr. Dries reassuring manner with my daughter and information on allergy medication for itchy eyes.

UofU Patient August 23, 2012

We've been seeing Dr. Dries for 8 years. I'm confident that he's very knowledgeable and experienced. However, after every appointment I leave feeling frustrated. He always seems to be in a rush and he doesn't answer my questions satisfactorily - his answers are short and a bit terse. He acts friendly, but his attitude seems to be "you don't need to know that/you couldn't understand that/your question isn't important."

UofU Patient August 06, 2012

Dr. Dries was wonderful!

UofU Patient July 30, 2012

I wish you had an amazing button. This was our second visit with Dr. Dries and he is an amazing doctor. So patient and kind, explained everything to us in detail. I had complete confidence in his diagnosis and treatment. He is a wonderful Dr.

UofU Patient July 24, 2012

Dr. Dries was very friendly, caring, and professional. Feel very confident in his skills to provide care for my child.

UofU Patient July 23, 2012

I love that Dr. Dries is willing to explain things in an easy to understand fashion. My daughter has a genetic syndrom (Noonan Syndrome) and has had lots of surgeries with her heart and brain and I feel thankful Dr. Dires keeps a good eye on her and alsw

UofU Patient July 18, 2012

have no negative comments towards this practice

UofU Patient July 11, 2012

Dr. Dries is absolutely wonderful. He always display genuine concern for our son.

UofU Patient July 02, 2012

We couldn't speak more highly of Dr. Dries. He saved our daughter's eye sight.

UofU Patient June 21, 2012

He answered all our questions

UofU Patient June 18, 2012

This was our first visit with Dr. Dries. My daughter's eyes looked really good this time so our visit was brief, but I really liked Dr. Dries and thought his bedside manner was great.

UofU Patient June 13, 2012

Wish written information was given to us about the condition being treated.

UofU Patient June 11, 2012

Dr. Dries was fantastic. Very easy going and patient with my wiggly 2 year old. Not all doctor's seem to have that kind of patience. Very much appreciated

UofU Patient June 07, 2012

The only thing to be improved would be to allow the doctor to travel to Logan for a clinic.

UofU Patient June 07, 2012

Dr. Dries has always been respectful and courteous.

UofU Patient June 04, 2012

Dr Dries is amazing, he took the time to explain my sons situation and make sure we fully understood everything his staff is also very good and great with kids.

UofU Patient May 07, 2012

Dr Dries is an amazing doctor and I am so grateful we found him to care for Abbie. He has always had a great knack for helping us understand what is going on with her and has been a great person to work with in caring for Abbie's visual needs.

UofU Patient May 07, 2012

very friendly and prompt

UofU Patient May 01, 2012

I like Dr. Dries but sometimes I feel, he feels I shouldn't talk or that I shouldn't ask questions. I have left appts feeling incomplete, left with unanswered questions and questioning the answer I received.

UofU Patient April 26, 2012

I've always been impressed with Dr. Dries, which is why we continue to travel an hour and a half to see him.

UofU Patient April 17, 2012

Dr. Dries is very friendly.

UofU Patient April 10, 2012

It is obvious he is overworked and can't keep up with the work load that has been placed on him. I think it spills over into his care.

UofU Patient April 09, 2012

Dr. Dries is a wonderful doctor. He is very kind, thorough and professional.

UofU Patient April 02, 2012

Dr. Dries is wonderful!!!!

UofU Patient March 15, 2012

Dr. Dries is one of the best providers I have ever seen. I have always been impressed with him.

UofU Patient March 15, 2012

This practice of doctors are some of the best I have encountered. They are careful and specific and encourage both patient and parents to address and solve problems.

UofU Patient March 15, 2012

I felt like he was telling me things that he's told me before. I drove from Provo to SLC and spend $35 just to have him tell me the same thing he did last time. I was a little disapointed in that.

UofU Patient March 12, 2012

We have been bringing our daughter to see Dr. Dries since she was one, I have also had students of mine that have been his patient. He is always spoken highly of.

He is good but I don't think he is naturally good with kids like some are. I have a 2 year old who is extremely hyper and wants to touch everything and get into everything. She tried to grab the equipment and he became snappy at me...saying I needed to stop her. I was trying my hardest but to help him trying to get her to focus on him and to stop her from grabbing the equipment isn't easy. He tries to talk to her sweet and in a kid like tone but it seems really forced. I think he does a good job but sometimes how he is with her kinda makes me stress cause I know that deep down he is stressed with her. I think he is smart and I did suggest him to my sister who will be going to him...I just wish he relaxed a little more and made me feel a little more at ease.

Our eye doctor was excellent. He really put me at ease about my daughters corrective eye surgery coming soon. He sounded confident about the procedure, and explained the risk of complications and possible outcomes. He asked me if I had any questions, and allowed me time to pause, reflect, and re direct my question until I was satisfied he'd completely answered it. Great Job..this is a wonderful doctor.

Have only seen MD twice; 2 annual visits to date, but very comfortable with care provided.

I have a little handicapped girl that has very poor eyesight. Her eye site improves significantly from visit to visit with Dr. Dries, but he never takes more than two seconds to look at her. S I didn't go to my last appointment and I'm never coming back to see this Doctor again.

Great! We love Dr. Dries!

Dr. Dreis told me that my daughter was potentially missing part of her skull and that it needed to be determined before she had any surgery, but before I could even open my mouth to tell him she was going in for surgery he began his dictation. This was the second time he cut me off before I could ask any questions. Previously I had asked a question and he ignored it until he had filled out paperwork for two or three minutes. (two to three sheets if I remember correctly.)

Thank you

The physician seemed to be in a big hurry.

UofU Patient January 25, 2012

He did not seem to show concern for the reason that my daughter was there and did not offer timely feedback to her other doctor.

On my first visit was not included in my child's treatment regarding whether his eyes were dilated and why it was necessary

Dr Dries is very experienced and obviously knows what he is talking about. However, he talks very fast and seems in a hurry. He also seems to not to have much rapport with children, which is interesting in a pediatric opthamologist. However, I am very confident in his abilities as a doctor and surgeon, and so overall, I am happy with his care.

Dr. Dries is without a doubt the most attentive and thorough provider we have ever seen. He explains treatment, is great with the kids, is willing to answer questions and though I know he is busy, we never feel like he is trying to rush to the next patient.
