Dr. Stefonowicz put me immediately at ease when he walked into the exam room. He was friendly, and sincere. He actually informed me that I did not have to choose the more expensive cataract surgery to have a good outcome. He explained thoroughly what the procedure would entail, and gave me time to ask questions. He was professional yet down to earth. I had previously gone to a very well known eye clinic and they did NOT give me this option. I’m excited to move forward and feel confident that Dr. Stefonowicz was the best choice for myself and my eyes!

He is calm, kind and thorough. He explained the health of my eyes (I’m in my early 70s) and observed early signs of cataracts. No surgery needed yet but I now know I’ve found a knowledgeable and caring ophthalmologist. Will definitely return to Dr. Stefonowicz!

He is a very intelligent, caring doctor. I had both cataract and glacoma surgery. Both were corrected and follow up was great.
