    Dr. Mifflin is awesome! He took the time to listen to me and gave me options on what needed to be done. He took the time to explain the good and the bad that would come with a cornea transplant and never made me doubt my decision to have him perform the surgery.

    The Dr. is very professional and a very good Dr. since I had previously visited many Drs and none of them found my problem until I went to Dr. Mifflin and he cured me. Now I am happy to have found him. [TRANSLATED]
