I can honestly say that this provider and his care team treated my strabismus condition with the upmost care and results were above what I had expected. Years of low self confidence would have me not wanting to be in pictures, or speaking with people face to face because of this condition. With Dr. Krauss, he corrected this and understood exactly how much emotional anxiety this caused. One month post op, and I can not only look at myself in the mirror and smile, but this also improved my vision. I cannot thank him enough!!!!!
