At FVC, we see many patients who bring their family members and friends to our practice for their eyecare. Being able to connect with these people on both a professional and personal level as well as seeing family members grow up and continue to see us for their eyecare is probably the best part of my day.” When not in the office, Dr. Burns loves spending time with his family outside, as well as playing golf, hockey and tennis.
