Loved meeting Dr Choinski I was a previous patient at this office with Dr Buono for many years who just retired. I was a bit nervous and found I had a wonderful experience with Dr Choinski . He was very friendly, down to earth, and quite thorough. A good Dr with a great personality. Made me feel well taken care of. I have had glaucoma for many years and I told him I think we will be growing old together! He laughed and said he agreed as he doesn’t plan on going anywhere. I look forward to my future care in his hands with full confidence. Thank You Dr Choinski !!!
