Dr Beatson was awesome to deal with after suffering an eye injury. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was healing okay. Can’t recommend enough.

I got some chemicals in my eye and they had me in within 20 minutes and spent a considerable amount of time cleaning my eye out and taking images. I’m grateful for everyone there.
