Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

She recommended a new treatment which I hope I get
A new treatment was recommended which I pray my insurance approves.

I didn’t get a warm feeling from Dr. Chinwuba. I asked about a glaucoma test and she said it wasn’t scheduled. I specifically asked to be scheduled for this test and got only the eye exam. IKnow that isn’t her fault, but scheduling didn’t know why this didn’t happen. Just disappointed with the appointment.

Eye check up. The Doctor & staff were GREAT!
Routine eye exam, went in found out that my eye sight had slightly improved from my last visit. Dr. Chinwuba was very kind and professional. She explained her findings and answered all my questions. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Dr. Chinwuba is the best, I have recommended her to my family.

Eye Check
I had a complication in one eye from a heart procedure. The clinic got me in very quickly. The team at the clinic was very thorough with the examination. The doctor was also very thorough in questioning and explaining the problem they had found

Best. Eye Doctor. Ever.
I have Multiple Sclerosis, which is implicated in some of my eye issues, and causes me to have special needs when I am in the clinic and the NW eye surgery center. Dr Chinwuba is endlessly patient with my jerking muscles, even during laser surgery! She creatively finds solutions to myneeds, and listens the best of any of my many providers. Her assistants Elijah and Caitlin are outstanding as well.

Lack of bedside manner
From the first minute at the office I felt coldness and indifference.I think that with her credentials the doctor should do research only and won’t see patients.Though I got diagnosed and got the recommendations I have the strong feeling that the doctor is either indifferent or annoyed by me.Left the office in tears.

Very professional
Dr Chinwaba examined my eyes and told me I have an option to have cataract surgery. She was very calm and made me feel relaxed about having the surgery. I had a few questions and she helped me understand the process. She also gave me a pamphlet to look at to help me make my decision.
