Patient
Dr. Misch is an exceptional, accomplished ophthalmologist who combines clinical precision with a warm, open and respectful manner. I have been a patient of Dr. Misch since 2011. When he performed a complicated surgery on my eye, he took time to listen, explain the procedure and thoroughly answer all my questions. Post-surgical complications surfaced on a Sunday; Dr. Misch responded by opening his office to tend to my eye, once again providing unparalleled care. Dr. Misch’s staff is well-trained, efficient and compassionate. Their commitment to excellence is apparent in all they do. His office is a beautifully appointed space designed to put patients at ease. All my encounters with Dr. Misch have been exemplary. In short, he is the best of the best.
