Did not consult me about a new drug that was more expensive and that the insurance paid the less on leaving me with a bill to pay

Dr Cherney was very thorough in the explanation of my eye issues. Provided the description of the eye surgery recommended, with both the benefits and the risks. He is very experienced and I felt comfortable in deciding to have corrective surgery. Kind and patient to answer any concerns.

Dr. Cheney seemed genuinely concerned about the situation and after the exam explained his findings in a way that was clear to understand.
