    5 Stars in my review! I am so glad that I found out Mifflin because he was able to work with me in making the decision to get my corneal transplant replaced so I would have better depth perception and be able to see out of my right eye. Thank you Dr Mifflin

    I was able to see Abby Whiting and get an assessment of my issue and then Dr Mifflin was able to preform the procedure all in the same day.
