Great with educating me on condition and progress, very personable.
Dr Piwonka is very good at explaining results so that I understand what is going on with my eyes.
Dr. Piwonka is so kind, gentle and knowledgeable . I would only have him as my doctor, He is the best !
I have been visiting this clinic for many years and have always been treated very professionally, but yesterday’s visit left me stunned. I was verbally attacked by Dr. Piwonka and accused of disrespecting him simply by asking what he was seeing on his computer screen. When he came into the room he never greeted my wife nor I and after his explosive comments I apologized If I had intimidated him somehow. He said I had not but felt I had disrespected him. I said he acted like he had a chip on his shoulder he said he did not. When I sat looking at him in utter shock he said I was staring at him and if I had a problem I could go somewhere else for eye care. Only then did he offer an explanation of what he was seeing on his computer screen. He then opened the office door, didn’t ask if I had any questions,so I said I guess that means we can leave now to which he replied yes and we walked out.
Good communication
Keeps patients well informed of all changes regarding their eye health.
Very thorough and informative exam
Excellent doctor and very though staff. I am From out of town and they fit me in as I was having an eye issue. Thank you
He did not want to answer questions. He seemed in a hurry.
He’s a caring doctor and he takes ample time to explain things to his patients. I also think that he is very knowledgeable and I have complete confidence in him.
