    I waited about an hour between the waiting room and exam room. Meanwhile Dr. Pomykala spent perhaps 5 minutes with me.

    Had a horrible experience with another provider in same office, they were dismissive and made me feel dismissed, Dr. Pomykalas care, concern, explanation of my medical condition and plan for future care was amazing. He has seen me for an eye emergency and took very good care of me and now managing chronic conditions. I would recommend him to everyone.

    Dr. Pomykala iwas both courteous and attentive when treating my condition. He was not rushed when considering & choosing the regimen for treatment while allowing me to be involved in the decision making. Follow up visits for monitoring and eventual healing created a trust that is so important in a doctor/patient relationship.
