Scott Sadowski, OD

“As explained in the last box, ev...”

As explained in the last box, everything was clearly explained. I felt supported with my issues. Dr. Sadowski is very thorough in explaining all the options and outcomes of any procedure. He takes the time to guide us through any issues.

“Dr. Sadowski was very condescend...”

Dr. Sadowski was very condescending to me this visit particularly. He appears to have a wealth of knowledge, but his bedside manner is lacking. He came into the room very quickly after I had been taken there. He asked if my eye had been dilated. I told him I had not been dilated. He asked which eye I was having problems with so that he knew which one to dilate. I explained that I thought I was getting my annual checkup. He then sternly asked, which is it? You are here for a particular problem, which I thought was emergent, or are you here for your annual checkup? I explained the situation from December's appointment to today's appointment. Yes, I was overdue for my annual checkup, but also yes, I was having increased floaters in my right eye. With my history of having a detached retina in that eye, and with that being one of the reasons he always tells me I should call him to be seen, I felt I had reason to be there. He then stated that since I had "brought him up to speed," he would dilate both eyes. He proceeded to do this, and began his assessment immediately. This caused me major concern. I know that dilating drops do not work immediately and usually have to sit for 20 to 30 minutes to give them time to work before seeing the doctor. I had been told when scheduling this appointment, and going to a new office, that there had been a cancellation and I agreed to fill that slot and be seen. Dr. Sadowski made me feel that I inconvenienced him by doing so, almost ridiculing that I thought my reason was "emergent." Yet, one of the last things he again said to me was that I should always call him if I have sudden flashes of light, curtains, or increased floaters in my vision field.
