I’d give 0 stars if I could. He is dismissive with no bedside manner. After waiting 2 months for follow up appointment and waiting 1.5 hours past my appointment time, he gave me 10 minutes and had his hand on the doorknob while I was still asking questions.

Dr Smouha takes time to listen, ask questions and gets into the conversation of the point of the visit. This is not my first time at the office. He did my surgery a few years back and prefer to see Dr Smouha because he understands what’s going on, and I depend on his advice more than any other doctor I’ve seen as an Ornithologist.

I thought the actual testing was very quick.. it didn't feel as thorough as a normal exam at the optometrist. The doctor was wonderful.
