I have been going to Dr. Tempest for many years, (over 20 yrs.) he has just gotten better than he used to be. He seems happy at his job, is very informative about issues and actually has somewhat of a sense of humor. (Just kidding) he does seem happy when we’ve have great success of my cataracts surgeries. We both are.
