This was the worst eye appointment I have ever had. Dr Chinwuba spent no more than five minutes talking to me. There were two other people that she was having a conversation with. She asked me questions that I didn't know that I was going to be asked and therefore I could not answer her. She didn't explain about the things she found after she examined my eyes. I am very disappointed with Dr Chinwuba's lack of professionalism. This was my first appointment at this clinic and it might be my last.
I found Dr. Chinwuba to be personable, well spoken, and a knowledgeable professional. She is my go to doctor for eye care.
Dr. Chinwuba was very thorough with her assessment of my eye issues. She took the necessary time and steps to make sure I didn't have any serious issues and asked me to come back in 3 weeks for a re-check. I was very happy with her medical expertise. Thank you.
She seemed to know what she was doing but her bedside manner was lacking
She was in a big hurry. Acted like my appointment time was an inconvenience. Didn't address any of my issues for being there. Just said "you have no prescription today" and walked out.
The definition of a professional! Polite! Straight to the point and explains things clearly! Outstanding!
Very helpful and friendly.
Knowledgeable, thorough and caring
Very professional and concise.
I hate to give a negative review, but Dr. Chinwuba has "ZERO" bedside manner, I felt she was was distant and I was an inconvenience on her time. The total time I spent with her was maybe 5 minutes. The rest of the people I worked with were great, informative and helpful. I would rather see a different Doctor at my next visit.
