Dr Fromer was the doctor I booked for my medical appointment and when I got to his office I was told Dr Fromer was not available. I didn’t receive a prior call or email to reschedule so luckily, the staff was able to accommodate me with another doctor in the practice after this miscommunication. I saw Dr Hanna Fabiny and she was great. I am glad my appointment was honored and I got to see a fantastic ophthalmologist. Ok
