Review for Dr. Ewing-Chow
Whether in the lab, in the office, or in a phone call he is absolutely a “10”. Caring and confident, one of the best providers I’ve ever been to!

Review for Dr. Lam
He suggested several less invasive ideas rather than do surgery first. He did a great job on my first knee so I trust his judgment on the treatment for my second knee.

Review for Dr. Greenky
Always explains in words you understand, always ask if you have any questions, and if so makes sure his answer is understood

Apparently years ago, Dr. David told mom she had dry md and not to worry about it. Next appointment it was apparently Wet. Now she’s blind in one eye and hanging on in the other.
