To change Ophtalmologists after 8 years with the same dr, (due to relocating from Gauteng) was quite a daunting experience for me but I found Dr Yako to be caring and informative. Never has my previous dr taken XRays of my eyes and if he did, he might have picked the problem up. Dr Yako took XRays, showed and explained to me and that was enough to win me over. I do not know if Xrays is the correct wording, might just have been pics.
