It is a privilege to be trusted with the responsibility of protecting sight. In caring for patients with retinal disease, offering guidance and reassurance are often as important as treating the condition itself. My mission is to provide each patient with a clear understanding of his or her retinal disorder and deliver the highest quality medical and surgical care with kindness and compassion.— Dr. Feng
