She showed no respect to me and did not listen to my concerns. She did a one minute exam and gave me an eye lubricant sample. No diagnosis and no words about my exam. When I tried to explain my eye pain, she said it’s not the eye and referred me to my primary doctor.

Great experience! Dr. Chinwuba was very knowledgeable, made an uncomfortable experience (hate things near my eyes) much more comfortable. I left with more information and more understanding of my eyes and how they work. Would definitely recommend!
