Did you know that there are now treatment options to prevent or lower the severity of myopic progression? Learn More

Dr Duss is highly skilled and professional. She has provided outstanding care for a family member over many years, including successful strabismus surgeries. We are grateful for her expertise and highly recommend her.

Dr. Duss EXCEEDED our expectations. She was able to notice our concerns of our busy boy and was so patient with him. She was VERY informative and explained everything for us.

Extremely patient with very curious and talkative children. Explained each test to their understanding (and mine) and made sure any fears they had were gone before continuing with the tests. Never spoke down to the kids, always treating them as intelligent. Wish we had more pediatric physicians like them.

Everyone was very friendly from the front desk to the nurse, technicians and especially Doctor Duss. Very special doctor who does not rush you and listens to what you need to say and explains everything to you so you understand how she needs to treat your condition. I highly recommend Dr Duss and her staff.

Dr Duss is the best of the best. Knowledgable but cares deeply about the community and has dropped everything to help us more than once when my son has had eye emergencies.

We have to drive six hours to see this doctor .. her assistants, like Reagan and Marsha and others in the office are warm, friendly, sincere and affectionate and appear to be happy working there. That very thing makes the trip bearable. The doctor leads the way for this attitude and if an awesome eye surgeon who is as excited about the awesome results as her patients are.
