    Dr. Truong was very kind and patient, explaining everything going on, listening to Dr. Chaya's comments during surgery. I felt well cared for.

    Dr. Truong was outstanding. He was upbeat and energetic without being over the top. He focused on me, looking into my eyes as we conversed. He was careful in his observations and gave good answers to my questions. I have no criticism to offer. As I understand, Dr. Truong was working under Dr. Simpson's supervision, but he exhibited all the traits and qualifications I would expect of a fully-fledged, independent physician. The best news of my pressure check is that Dr. Truong found an immediate positive result of Dr. Simpson¿s Laser Treatment. In only a week after her procedure, the pressure in both eyes was already down to 11. That's my lowest eye pressure recorded in two decades of observations! In 1993 after I published a monograph, my eye pressure was up to 18, and drs suspected that the high pressure caused my malady. In recent years my pressure has been around 12 or 13. The pressure drop is not only a sign of splendid success but also the reversal of a deleterious condition.
