    He is absolutely amazing! He is very kind and informative. He made me feel very comfortable and walked me through everything. He also helped me with any fears I had. I had to bring my babies to one appointment and he was so kind and sweet to them. He made my son a balloon glove which was very sweet. He has been one of the best eye doctors I have ever had and one of the best doctors in general. Listens and is very respectful. I can't thank Dr Savage even more than I already have. He made this the best and easiest experience ever. I will and already have been recommending people to him and his eye practice because it's been such an amazing experience. He was able to finally help me see again. And I have had glasses since I was six. I can't thank him enough for the amazing opportunity he has given me to be able to see again! Thank you so much Dr Savage!

    The first time I met Dr.savage, I thought he was a little pompous. However, he redeemed himself the second time I saw him. In fact, we had great conversations, and I feel we got along well.
