He took time to talk with me about options with my retinal issue.
Best opthalmologist ever.
Very happy with Dr Froula service as well as his staff.
Very professional and very friendly
Best eye doctor I've ever seen 😃
Friendly. Informative. Knowledgeable
I was an emergency work in at the end of his schedule. He was so kind and professional - giving me the time I needed to problem solve my issue. It was a very successful visit
Dr Frola is the BEST!!’
Got there at 10 for my 10:15 appt; a followup from my 2 successful cataract surgeries. Saw an aide at 10:10 for five minute visual field test. All good so far. Then I sat in the lobby until 11:15 when I had to leave because of my patient who was scheduled for 11:30. To make matters worse, I saw about 10 other patients who arrived after me that were taken back for care while I sat in the lobby. I think my chart got misplaced somehow as these others were treated snd I was forgotten. When I left the receptionist did not know I wasn’t seen. He’s a GREAT doctor but those office visits are problematic. They always run an hour or more behind. I also see patients so I know the importance of running on time. Not to mention crummy customer courtesy. Very frustrating. I hated to leave but I had to get back to my own patients.
Great doctor
