I have been a patient of Dr Walton for many years. I like him very much. My vision is still blurry. I called and spoke to Brooke about my concern. I have an appointment with Dr Walton tomorrow, Fri morning. At this time, I am thinking I will wait to have cataract surgery on my left eye. I need my vision to be less blurry before I have this circumstance in both eyes. Again, I like Dr Walton and trust him.\",\"formatted_date\":\"julio 17, 2025\",\"rating\":\"5\",\"review_url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.google.com\\\/maps\\\/contrib\\\/112636389606087870152\\\/place\\\/ChIJx-pgi3dNmogRljPI1a5HNOU\",\"review_source_name\":\"Christopher J.
