Dr P thoroughly explains what is happening with the macular degeneration in my eyes. It puts me at ease seeing the pictures of inside my eyes.
The vibe was off from the start. My eyes are sore and feel scratched from his evaluation. I like the other doctors at FCEC they're great. He just seemed like he didn't want to be there It must have been a busy day I understand that with the holidays approaching. I don't look forward to my follow up appointment with him. I'm used to Dr. Brock and Dr. Rose they are top tier and I trust them. I liked Dr. Teal she was great with my eyes. She ran the staff hard but she had good doctor patient vibes
Super Pleasant and informative.
Gives good explanations. Remembered me from my last appointment.
I appreciate the way he explained things to me. I believe his word is trust worthy.
Thorough, wonderful care by Dr Piwonka and his team.
Very professional I like Kyle
Dr Piwonka was great. He fit me in as an emergency patient just before a holiday. He conducted a thorough exam, explained everything to me, and answered my questions. He was very professional. The office staff at 4 Corners are amazing!
Kyle is an excellent eye Doctor Who cares very much about improving my eyesight.
Always congenial, never makes me feel he is in a rush. Explains the situation well.
