Dr Holmwood was very kind, thorough and professional. He addressed all of my concerns and put me at ease with my procedure. I would highly recommend Dr Holmwood.
Was really nervous about going they found a mass in my brain and was scared. It was affecting my eyesight. Doctor was a very professional and very understanding.
Dr Holmwood was rude and arrogant. i.e. He asked if my eye drops worked. I was prefacing my answer with information I thought was important. I said they make my eyes burn. He said I’m asking you if they work! Just answer the question! He told the woman taking notes that I had a papilloma but never explained anything to me. I asked her what it was when he left the room. (This could definitely explain the scratchy feeling and soreness I had in my eye.) I found my visit with him degrading and unsatisfactory. I am glad I don’t see him normally.
Dr Holmwood did a fine job.
Awesome!
Very caring.
Exceptional doctor, very thorough and easy to talk to!
The staff was very friendly and helpful with my out of state insurance issue. It was resolved very quickly. Dr. Holmwood assessed my eyes and informed me of his findings in a concise way. Happy with the office.
Dr. Holmwood takes his time explaining things and is quite helpful in the decision making process.
Dr. Hollywood is an amazing doctor. I can enjoy my life again thanks to him and I am forever greatful.
