Dr. Cristan Marie Arena, MD

Visit had an undertone of contentiousness. Although no obvious diagnosis for symptoms it seemed there seemed to be a question as to whether the symptoms were real or not. The tests and clinical observations didn’t seem to support any obvious problems, as if the whole effort was a waste of time.

I’ve been going to Dr Arena for several years and she is awesome. Takes her time and listens. She performed cataract surgery and it turned out well. I have multiple vision issues and she thoughtfully plans next steps and explains things thoroughly. I have complete confidence in her.

Excellent visit. Great staff. Efficient and thorough. Very satisfied.

She takes the time to answer questions. She is an excellent doctor.

My appointments with Dr Arena have always been positive. She explains everything to me and is always upfront with my appointments. She is such a pleasant person to talk with and answers my questions and makes me feel at ease.

Dr. Arena and her staff were very helpful as I need to have cataract surgery. They explained everything to me and answered all of my questions.

My visit with Dr.Arena could not have gone any better.When I arrived I was greeted with a friendly smile and that continued the entire time I was there.

Very happy with Dr. Arena.

Dr Arena is, in my lowly opinion, an excellent physician with a superb staff

After fitting me in with very short notice to treat an severe chalazion, she agreed to drain it. After two very painful failed attempts to numb the area, she continued with the treatment, which comprised clamping the lower eyelid and cutting it to promote drainage. She made it clear to me that it was my fault the numbing didn't work because I squirmed when she attempted to put a needle in a very sore spot on my lower eyelid. When I made her stop because it hurt too much, she said nothing to comfort me, appeared annoyed, packed up her things and walked out. Horrible experience.
