KnowledgeableI see Dr Dugel through the VA as I am a disabled vet. some of the staff are nice and friendly. Dr Dugel leaves much to be desired in a doctor. first appointment he says he will answer all my questions. after answering my first question he move on to other matters and won't allow me to ask additional questions. first Tuesday of the month ihave vision problems in my one good eye. go to VA ER already had appointment scheduled with Dr Dugel for the next day, first Wed of month. It is now the third Thrus and I still can not find out what is wrong with my one good eye. No return calls. left too many messages and still no return call. Dr Dugel might be one of the best in the country but not worth the crap to see him unless he is truly the only one who could help you. which for most of us is not the case. At this point I'm sure Dr Dugel only does this for the money not for the love of treating people and helping them
