“Dr. Sweeney was a great doctor from start to finish. During the pre-operation appointment he went over the procedure and also explained the timeline for recovery and what I can expect after. The surgery itself was quick and perfect! I had to have eye surgery due to droopy eye lids and if not taken care of it would’ve gotten worse. My family stated that they couldn’t tell because it was such a great job. Dr. Sweeney’s bedside manner was the best I had with any doctor! Dr. Sweeney has a very good staff as well. Carla and the team are right on top of things from setting appointments and calling to remind me of one. I would definitely recommend this clinic for your eye surgery needs!”
