This is our second visit here and I rather travel the hour and half to come here then to visit my daughter's doctor in Macon. Emory is more advanced at the issues that are brought forth.

It felt as if everything about my son's condition was discovered "too late" and it seemed as if it was an urgent matter but to get him scheduled for surgery took over a month. And to find out his condition had gotten worse just upsets me.

Emory is a unique experience in care from the moment assistants and physicians collaborate in care

Indeed Emory pediatric eye center saved my son's eye. I am very grateful with that along with prayers and faith. The main thing I'm teaching my young lad that will be 17 next year adult that is his responsibilities to do the things that he has within his power. If we don't follow those there are consequences and it goes for me as adult and him as a young adult. So I'm hoping i'll consequences will be healthy and his eye pressure will return back to normal.
