I had choices yet I chose Dr. Drowota and I have zero regrets. Surgery on both eyes went well. Dr. Drowota's demeanor was exemplary as was his staff. I never felt rushed at all. I am happy I can now see my Grandchildren and the world with my new eyes thanks to this Doctor. I would recommend him happily.

Go somewhere else. The dr got upset when I asked him questions and acted like he didn't have time for me.

I've been a patient of Dr. Drowota for 2 years. He was recommended to me by my PCP due to diabetes and eye care. My experience has been very positive. The Doctor and his staff are very pleasant, very prompt, and very professional. Never felt rushed; he took his time and asked questions to make the right conclusions.

Dr. Frank got right down on the floor and played to initiate the exam of my 1 year old. He never got impatient with how wiggly and uncooperative baby was.The tech who administered eye drops was kind and gentle and kept her sense of humor. She was very compassionate to my son's distress but we still got the job done.

Was impatient with me, acted as if he were in a hurry. Spent very little time with me. Was borderline hateful.
