    Dr. Dries is caring and thoughtful. He always takes his time when he examines our son. We have been seeing him since 2015 and we will continue to see him.

    Dr. Dries and his staff fit my child in urgently and Dr. Dries was very concerned about the situation and thoroughly examined my son to make sure he was absolutely okay. He listened to me and explained everything he was looking for and assured me that he will recover well.

    Seemed genuinely concerned about my kids and their problems. Accommodated us as an add on for another provider. Answered questions. Replied back to our referring ophthalmologist in a timely manner.
