    David Dries, was great treating my baby girl, handle her with care and made sure I was comfortable with what he was doing and if at any moment it was stressful for the procedure I could step out and come back in when it was done.

    Dr. Dries was recommended to us for my son's crossed vision. He was so informative and made sure we understood what was happening in each and every appointment. He made sure to explain everything so we didn't feel clueless or left in the dark. He told us the end goal and the steps we needed to take to get there. He was so kind and nice with all of my kids. Highly recommend Dr. Dries!
