Dr Wynn and his staff are always caring and friendly. They are wonderful listeners and answer all my questions clearly and precisely. They take the time to really discern what they treat compared to my other health issues but never disregard those concerns either. They continue to support and provide solutions to the conditions they treat and point my in the right direction when other health issues may be the source. For a patient who deals with multiple issues, this staff is patient and kind every time I step into their office and the condition Dr. Wynn treats is progressively improving so I am so grateful.

I was slightly surprised that there were no proactive suggestions or tests done to prevent further damage (other than to wear protective glasses). I had to ask my Primary Care physician to order a sleep apnea test. Overall I am pleased with the care, I just think it could be taken a little further.
