My high Mark for Dr. Zhu, MD goes beyond the discovery of a new problem found in my right eye, prior to a soon scheduled procedure. But with a laser type device, she was willing to repair a tare that same day, while I was ALREADY there, thus preventing a possible delay. I am grateful to her and her supporting team that took the necessary time in this delicate area to keep me on target for my Trabeculectomy.
