Dr Hessen is excellent. She does an outstanding job fitting contacts lens for me. She explains things well and does her best to ensure I have good vision in spite of the fact I have aging cornea transplants. It's a shame you can't clone her as she is at the top of her game. Wilmer is lucky to have her.
