The doctor did not provide any explanations to my current eye conditions although I found them much worse. She just said she would see me again in four months.

Doctor Simpson and her staff are always courteous, caring, and sensitive to the concerns I have. It is VERY reassuring that my eyeball isn't melting after all, that what I am experiencing are really big floaters, among other things. Still working on the whole blurriness thing.

Never been fond of Dr. Simpson. Always in too much of a hurry and not focused. Her staff however has been excellent or I would not go back. Too many issues from the onset with Dr. Simpson.

I like Dr. Simpson, but................ I was diagnosed with macular degeneration. I would have liked to have been told this with more care and kindness. I would have liked to have had a longer discussion about how quickly this will progress. My mother and grandmother had this disease and I saw how it limited their lives.
