"What immediately drew me to join the BostonSight family was the patient-centric compassionate care. It is my wholehearted belief that our patients are what make BostonSight a magical place to work. Thank you to our patients who gift us with a sense of purpose by allowing us to join them on their journey for sight as they reclaim their lives."
