Much more informative than any eye doctor I have seen in recent years. The appointment was thorough without being too lengthy. The administrative staff was also very helpful with navigating some confusing insurance issues. I highly recommend.

After three visits, it is frustrating that even the cause of the problem was not identified, let alone solve the problem.

I was truly grateful for the expert care that I received from Dr. Niyigena and her associates. She was thorough and careful and answered all of my questions patiently. I'm very impressed.
September 6, 2016James R.Verified patient
All around excellent experience. Everyone was friendly and professional. Exam was detailed with clear explanations and information. The medical assistant Rochelle was also fantastic.
August 19, 2016Joy A.Verified patient
I was referred to Dr. Niyigena's practice by my primary care physician. I had been experiencing significant pain, redness, and swelling in one eye likely attributed to a recent dip in the ocean. Dr. Niyigena's practice was able to fit me in on the same day given the emergency and saw me with very little wait. The first staff member, Rochelle, I saw couldn't have been kinder and more professional. She put me at ease in a situation that could have caused considerable discomfort (testing for pink eye.) Dr. Niyigena saw me shortly thereafter. She was professional, thorough, kind, and confident. I'm happy to report that my eye seems to be healing rapidly within less than 24 hours of my visit.

She was very professional, while being friendly. Didn't feel rushed at all.
My entire experience at the office, from the time entered until departure, was great -- from receptionist, to techs, to Dr. Niyigena. Added bonus: no wait time. My first time at their office, but it will be my go-to place for eye exams.

Very reassuring and really nice demeanor. Frankly more friendly than some of the other staff in the office. None of the staff have been off-putting but she has been especially warm and helpful.

Great visit today. All questions answered & explained.. it's extremely helpful to get some of the details of why some symptom might happen. For example, one symptom I've heard described before is "flashes", but I've never really understood what that meant. Dr. Niyigena explained what those are usually described as (by other people who experience them), & she explain a little about why that looking like,/happens. It was extremely helpful to get a little background. Thanks.
