Dr. Holmwood was very dismissive of my concerns. He didn’t answer any of my questions at all, and simply told me “you’re not dying, so you’re good to go home.” He also seemed in a big hurry when he was talking with me and we only talked for less than 5 minutes before he dismissed me.

First visit with Dr Holmwood. Was very impressed with his ability to answer questions in a very clear manner, using terms that were not medically overwhelming. Looking forward to working with him as my primary eye doctor.

I did not have an appointment but had redness and swelling below my eye… I stopped in to see if I could possibly make an appointment or pick up some medicine. Dr. Holmwood had a busy morning but told me to stay and he would see me. He saw me within 20 minutes, diagnosed my issue and ordered a script.. very good doctor.
