Convenient well equipped facility. Excellent support staff. No concern exhibited for extended time required for non issue regular follow up exam. More than hour spent for less than 10 minute consultation.
Very friendly and professional support staff. Thorough. Relatively short wait to be called to the back where the tech was friendly and professional. The doctor was very professional and informative. She gave options with pros and cons. Very happy with service rendered.
We have been going to Dr VROMAN for over 10 years. He is an impressive Surgeon and Physician. His staff are very pleasant and helpful. He isn’t the closest to me, but well worth going out on my way because he is thorough and explains things so I can understand them.
My 87 year old Aunt was the patient. She is a challenge. She was met with kindness and great attitudes from front desk to Doctor. The Doctor is honest, kind and gentle. And she filled the room with joy. She is excellent at her job!
From the front desk to the last desk everyone was amazing~Aaron checking us in was funny and pleasant as was Kee who did my husbands eye exam~Dr Budev was very thorough and informative. He took his time explaining everything to us regarding the procedure with a kind demeanor~And lastly the scheduler Stevie was equally as accommodating and a pleasure to meet~
