Dr. Urmaza was very patient with my 85 year old mom and explained her problems to both of us with clarity and outlined how he was going to treat the problems. He took the time to answer my questions on how to help her and we did not feel rushed, like we did at one of those megapractices. He's a superb clinician.

Dr. Urmaza did an outstanding job both with me and with my 11 year old son. Dr. Urmaza saw us almost immediately, he carefully explained everything to each of us, he took his time with us and he was very warm and pleasant. My son had many questions and Dr. Urmaza answered them patiently and fully. I strongly recommend Dr. Urmaza for adults and especially for children

Dr. Urmaza was thorough and knowledgeable with my eye exam. I did not feel rushed out and he talked with me about some alternatives to my current eye medications. I would recommend him highly.

Dr. Urmaza was recommended by Borokhaven Hospital to me. I was able to see him the same day and he was very thorough in the examination of my left eye. He gave me drops and it went away within a few days. What a nice doctor and now my mom is going to him for her eye infection. She is in trusted hands. I would highly recommend Dr. Urmaza to anyone needing eye care.

Great doctor! He was thorough in the eye exam and went over all the specifics to my eye conditions. The front desk lady was nice and the office clean. They sent my prescriptions via computer directly to my pharmacy so my eye medications were ready when I went in. It was very convenient.
