She was very clear in her comments. She answered all my questions. She explained the meds that she was prescribing. Rather than very good, I would say incredible.

I can never say enough good about Dr Kuchtey. From day one she has always expressed genuine concern over my vision health and tries to be very patient and caring about all my issues vith medication complications and my advancing vision loss. I am confident she is doing all she can to help me. I feel very blessed to be under her care. I have had to juggle and change my Medicare provider many times over these last 15 yrs to be able to continue under Vanderbilt care.
