YVONNE A.
The procedure went smoothly, the only uncomfortable part was keeping my eyes open with the instrument he used. Dr. Kurwa talked me through it and made me relax so I could go on with the procedure. I was very pleased and thought he did a great job. The doctor was referred by a patient of my father’s, and after our first meeting I felt very comfortable going through with the procedure with Dr. Kurwa as I thought he was very knowledgeable.
CLARK S.F.
The whole procedure was fast and easy, About 15 minutes. I received great treatment throughout the process. Dr. Kurwa explained everything well and was very cautious. He is very experienced, I strongly recommend Dr. Kurwa. Recovery took about two days for my vision to seem clear. The first day vision is blurry and light bothers you, and the next morning you feel like a small eye lash is stuck on your eye, but by the night you will love the results.
ISABEL C.
My husband and I just got our eyes done by Dr. Kurwa. The procedure was quick and the staff was friendly. Dr. Kurwa is very insightful and answers any questions you may have upfront. The recovery was awesome, little to no pain at all. We will recommend Dr. Kurwa to all our family and friends.
