Dr. Bair and Dr. Hansen were both very good at explaining the results of the tests. They were very patient in waiting for my conclusions. I am now waiting to reach them after the weekend to get on their surgery list to save my eyesight. I changed my mind that night after visiting with them about surgery.. I think they both seemed very confident that they could do the surgery.
