    Great he is the best

    MORAN EYE CENTER

    Very responsive and patient-centric care

    MORAN EYE CENTER

    Dr. Mifflin confirmed my hunch -- that the slight pain and discomfort I felt in my right eye was a consequence of loose, broken sutures -- since I have "seen" or rather felt this movie before - the discomfort was not related to my new contact lens -- but to the loose sutures.

    He was great but saw his assistant today

    Thanks so much for taking the time to listen and answering my questions!

    MORAN EYE CENTER

    I have a great appreciation for Dr Mifflin. He saved my eye a the sight I have left in it. I am very sad to hear he will be practicing in the Murray location, which my insurance will not cover. Can something be done to help allow a change for my situation and others like me? It would be more convenient also because I travel from Delta, Utah. Thank you

    MORAN EYE CENTER

    Kind, knowledgeable care provider
