"I was sent to the Dean McGee in an emergency in Sept 2015 with corneal trauma. Every person I met was nothing but helpful and went above and beyond to make sure I was helped and the attentiveness was amazing. Dr. Rhea and her team were amazing and very friendly. I have had to continue to go with the follow up of a corneal transplant and then having to have another one on May 2017 for reason that were untreatable. Dr Rhea was very informative and always available when needed. The surgical team was also amazing. They were there for me to feel comfortable and understand what would happen during surgery. I highly recommend the Dean McGee Clinic to anyone who is having difficulties with their eyes. Thank You." - Ruslyn B.
