    Wondering care! I felt my concerns were overcome with the thorough office visit. Dr. Mifflin I feel might be the vest in the state. I have seen a few Dr's regarding my impaired vision and he just felt more experienced and methodical. Highly recommend.

    Dr. Mifflin is extremely thorough. He has a way to make you feel calm and comfortable. He performed Lasik surgery on my eyes 22 years ago. He was my eye doctor until he went into a specialty. Dr. Mifflin is now performing cataract surgery on my eyes. Again, I felt safe and trusted his expertise. His team was very kind and considerate. I know that all were heading toward a positive outcome. Dr. Mifflin is an amazing doctor. I trust his skill completely.
