Patient Reviews
Oct 31, 2023
The longer I’ve been her patient, the more respect I have for her! She is a busy, rare, kind, patient, wise, compassionate specialist with a fabulous staff. She explains things VERY well, as you need & can understand complex procedures & protocols. She sometimes accommodates patients who need emergency visits & runs behind, yet she gives each patient courtesy, time & needed attention. This is her only downside. I’ve had many visits: some short, some hours. She is so skilled, self-assured, reassuring & reachable through her wonderful office staff by phone or via MyChart messaging (Heather D. is prompt & knows to whom each concern should be routed). I had a failed DCR surgery with a (young) surgeon at NE Ohio Eye Surgeons July 2022. Due diligence taught me that my blocked tearduct condition was probably impacted by my deviated septum. I believed I needed an ENT-DCR which that surgeon wouldn’t do. Dr. Hwang knew just what I needed, jointly with Dr. Sindwani performed ENT-DCR.$10 valet
