Went for a 6 month follow up to an appointment to see if my condition improved. I expected a simple yes or no. When I received a bill for services I never authorized, I attempted to resolve it with their outsourced billing company and they never responded.

great experience from greeting by staff, the technicians, and of course Dr Sorokanich. I have been fortunate to find such a well run practice and very knowledgeable office staff, and of course Dr Sorokanich. Keep up the great work, team. Philip Jewell

Dr. Sorokanich is thorough and very knowledeable. He is also easy to talk to and listens well. I feel he cares about my ocular health, not only now, but in my future. I highly recommend him.

Excellent surgeon. Genteel Doctor. But plan your office visits carefully. Have brought my dad here for years. At least an hour late Every time. I run several businesses and could never operate this way.

Yes, the wait may be long, but he spends as much time as is required for your exam. No other doctor has ever been as thorough as Dr. Sorokanich. Excellent doctor!

Dr. is by far the best eye Dr. that we ever seen. The wait might be a little long, but the service and quality of care if far worth the wait. Could not ask for a more concerned Dr.

Wait times are extremely long. My prescription has never been right. He argued with me- and really should have apologized when he was wrong. In a nutshell- several appointments, same story ; I will be seeking treatment elsewhere.
