The provider checked my eyes and gave recommendations about services I need and could have done on the same day. I need to check my schedule to make sure I will have adequate rest and recovery time. I stated I would return to have one procedure done and later do the other. I was seeking a second opinion and am glad to say, I did receive just that. I plan on rescheduling to have both procedures done.

Dr Sulewski was very helpful during this visit. When I explained I had light halos (result of cataract surgery) he suggested laser treatment that could be done immediately. He also encouraged me to come back if I noticed them in the other eye.

Dr. Sulewski provided a consultation on the condition of my corneas, in response to my concern of my challenges reading book text. Dr. Sulewski explained the current state of the corneas and the procedure I could consider that might improve my reading. I felt he provided a detailed assessment of my condition and the procedure he suggested. As this is not an emergency situation, I have decided to refrain from having this procedure at this time.

Dr. S. Is great. He's knowledgeable, yes. But what I really like about, other than that, is you can see he's in a hurry. We all are. But when I ask him a question. He stops. He looks. He listens. As if you're a person who matters and as if your question is important.
