Dr. Cindrario seemed to be a well versed physician. He was very thorough in answering my concerns and made me feel at ease with what I am dealing with. Am left feeling like I made the right choice in seeing him for my issue. The Metro Eye Care staff were easy to work with from the very beginning, when I called to schedule. They also made me feel comfortable during my visit. I highly recommend Dr. Cindrario and Metro Eye Care.
