I am a new patient of Dr Lidder. From the moment we met, I felt very comfortable with her. She told me that she previewed my file and made notes even before my appointment! She asked me a series of questions to "fill in any blanks about my eye and health history. Then she proceeded to explain her accessment of my potential diagnosis and did a through exam of my eye. Dr Lidder did an excellent job explaining Glaucoma and how we would proceed with treating my eye.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
