I am very grateful to Dr. Dana for solving my problem with dry eyes . His treatment lets me live a normal painless life and does not have any side effects. While my eyes are stable now, I am 100% sure that if something happens he will fix it. On top of that he is a kind, caring human being who remembers me after not seeing me one year. The people that work with him are high level as well.
