My Miracle Worker was Dr. Nadine. I had cataract surgery and the day after, I could see clearly. I am a Veteran and the VA was hesitant to perform this surgery because this cataract was so dense. Dr. Nadine''s miracle-working hands and skill performed this surgery and I see crystal clear. She is so loving, compassionate, beautiful. She has an incredibly kind heart, soooo loving. I highly recommend this precious doctor who is highly skilled and so blessed to restore your vision. Thank you Doctor Nadine. You are the best!
