Dr Piwonka was very thorough at explaining what’s going on with my eyes. Very good explanations of the pictures of the insides of my eyes and what to be aware of in the future. I liked his professional manner.

Dr Piwonka is one of the finest doctors I’ve ever been to.
He’s incredibly personable and compassionate. So much knowledge and explains it in a way so you can understand it.
I have never felt hurried or rushed all of my questions and I always have a lot. I always answered completely.
If this guy ran for president, he would win because of his passion for helping people.
Can’t say enough about this eye doctor! 10 stars!!

I would appreciate being seen in a more timely manner. My appointment was 11:10. I did not actually see the doctor until 12:20. My first visit was ever worse. My appointment was at 3:10 and I wasn't seen by the doctor until 4:45 and so this visit wasn't quite as bad.
Dr. Piwonka is very nice and thorough, but scheduling in a timely way is not good.

Always a pleasant experience.
