Reviews for Dr. Gianfermi
After a fall I was seeing double for a year and a half Dr Elena was able to correct the double vision and for that I am grateful to her Her staff was always extremely helpful and went out of their way to help where they couldRena X
Very knowledgeable & helpful. She told me exactly what she feels is going on. When I left I wasn't happy with the temporary prism. Now 2 days later, I'm not seeing double....after roughly 2 years. Still don't like the prism but life is better this way.Wilhelmina M
