    Dr Mifflin has a wonderful personality, extremely caring and gentle. He preformed my son's cornea transplant that was very high risk with an outcome that went beyond what we could ever imagine and pray for. We are so thankful that our ophthalmologist referred us to Dr Mifflin. We will be forever grateful to Dr Mifflin for giving our son a better quality of life. We highly recommend Dr Mifflin.
