Doctor Rust explained my options regarding cataract surgery and included me in the decision making as to when I should have the procedure done. Doctor Rust was very personable and competent.

She was amazing. I did not feel rushed when speaking to her. She answered all my questions with knowledge and compassion. She offered me ideas on things to try at home when my eyes get tired from looking at the computer.
