took my 5 year old to Dr. Zwerling after having what we thought was pink eye for almost 2 weeks. I was thrilled to find out he had sunday hours and took the first availability. Great bedside manner! He made me son feel very comfortable at his first visit
He'll be our family opthamologist now!
May 17, 2015Afraz A.Verified patient
Dr. Swerving was really great! He explained everything to me and I actually learned a few things I didn't know before. This was also the first time in all my years of having my eye pressure checked that I didn't blink or flinch or even feel him do anything! Really awesome! I look forward to my annual exam now and not dread it like I use to.
