It was great and efficient
Verified patient
Awful experience. Staff is rude and apathetic. Doctor has a cruel and bad sense of humor, is arrogant, and did a poor job. He didn't even biopsy the growth he removed. Nor prescribe antibiotics. The growth came right back and is more complicated to remove now. No follow-up. I could have had a friend just remove the growth and had a better experience.
Another excellent appointment with Dr. Demidenko. He is knowledgeable, thorough and always informative about uveitis and general eye health. I highly recommend.
