Dr Lean is amazing. He sees issues that other doctors miss . I just started going to Dr. Lean the past 3 months my vision has already started to get better .There are lots of doctors that can give you a shot ,but not all them care or understand What macular degeneration is . Just recently I went in for a shot anticipating the same drug that I’ve been receiving for years Dr Lean wasn’t happy with the results of the last shot so as he explain to me sometimes you have to find the right key to the lock , he now has me on a different drug . I highly recommend Dr. Lean.

I don’t know what to say but the doctors, techs, and staff are caring and competent. They are terrific. More than a 5 star. Dr. Lean saved my eyesight in 2000 and has been watching over me regularly ever since. Yesterday I had a strange occurrence in my left eye and Dr. Eifrig (in Dr. Lean’s absence) stepped up immediately to help.
