— Stamford Ophthalmology patient testimonial"I watched my daughter scream in pain for 45 minutes... No one in the room seemed to even know what to do. It was a bizarre and horrible experience."
— TrustReviewers.com user review"After hours waiting to be seen it took for me to ask at 12:30 when will she be seen because it’s getting late and everyone else in the waiting room was leaving... Why does it take 3 hours for a child to be seen in any Yale facility?"
