Took the time to explain everything about the surgery and the recovery.i have complete faith in him and his abilities, including his staff!! Sincerely, Donna Lancaster
Dr. Piwomka is a highly skilled surgeon and communicates very well with eye care consumers
He’s Great, but he talks a bit fast & could listen more
Thorough
Dr. Piwonka made my retina surgery not so scary. He explained thoroughly what he was going to do. He described what I would "see" when he first took the patch off. He was patient and kind when I went back an extra visit. I feel that my eyes are well taken care of.
This guy was arrogant and disrespectful. I was referred to him by the staff at 4cormers after a previous visit to a different Dr. at that clinic had informed me that the issue I had was probably the reason for not having 20/20 vision and informed me that surgery could be done leading me to believe my issue was correctable. When Piwonka first walked in he wanted to know why I was there and after telling him what the other Dr. Had told me arrograntly said that there was no surgery and that no Dr. Would tell me that that they could correct eye sight to 20/20 after surgery. He then proceeded to give me a lecture on how the eye works. When I asked if I coukd ask a question he said"NO. YOU JUST NEED TO LISTEN". I lost all respect for him after that.
This provider was arrogant and condescending. He also acted like he was in a hurry and had no time for us.
Very through and professional!!
Thank you for seeing me on such short notice. I really appreciate you help.
He answers questions and concerns thoroughly.
