there isn't a better opthamologist ANYWHERE than dr allaman. extremely knowledgeable, personable, and sincerely interested in helping your eyes. he also operated on my sister. she had cataracts and glaucoma and is very pleased with the surgeries. he spends a lot of time explaining and answering questions and never hurries you. most importantly, he's cutting edge, and knows what he's doing. you won't regret going to dr allaman.
