Was interesting to hear the psychological side of keratoconus.
Enjoyed her enthusiasm and presentation.
Really enjoyed hearing Dr. Bhagat speak. She was incredibly knowledgeable in an area that I had not learned much about previously. She also had a very gentle and kind demeanor that came through in her lecture and I'm sure she is well loved and appreciated by her patients. Thank you!!
Enjoyed the topic and lecture!
