Dr. Rock? More like Dr. Solid Gold. I came in with vision so sketchy I thought my glasses were haunted. He took one look (pun intended) and boom—diagnosis, plan, and reassurance all wrapped in one smooth package. He’s got this calm, Jedi-like presence that makes you feel like everything’s gonna be crystal-clear. My eyes are vibing again, and I owe it to this legend.
