    How was your appointment with Dr. Smiddy?

    Feb 02, 2022
    I underwent a vitrectomy with Dr. William Smiddy on January 27, 2022 to correct residual debris and flashing lights in my right eye from a cataract surgery from 5 months prior. I would not hesitate to do another vitrectomy with Dr. Smiddy if I had the same outcome after booking a cataract surgery on my left eye. He is a physician that does not waste words or time, however, his actions taken to resolve the issues plaguing my vision were nothing short of a miracle worker. Dr. Smiddy is a very skilled surgeon with a caring team/staff and pretty much conducts his post-op appointments in a precise, neatly packaged one man show manner. Thank you so much Dr. Smiddy.
