Dr. Sappenfield communicates very clearly about the health of my eyes--what hasn't changed much, what changes there are that are normal, what accommodations are okay, what I might expect/watch out for, that there Is no evidence of serious eye Issues, etc. Even though we see one another once a year, she makes me feel welcome and known.
