I asked if the provider would do an eye exam. I need a more current exam when I get new glasses. The nurse did an eye exam and the provider told me that there is little difference between the old and the new exam but they were happy to do the updated exam for me to use when I get my new glasses. I thought the provider listened to me and handled my ... Read More
I came in this time for a laser procedure. I actually look forward to both appointments and specifically procedures with Dr. Soneru. Her expertise, patience, close attention, compassion are all palpable in her hands during the procedure as well as in her whole manner. She is welcoming, cheerful, encouraging, and inspires confidence in every way - ... Read More
Dr. Soneru is one of the best glaucoma doctors that I have had during my lifetime.

Seeing that I had a 2 and a half hour ride home she arranged to do the laser within two hours of my arrival. She is not only a great doctor but also a very considerate ... Read More
Allison Soneru was professtional, caring and helpful during my first visit with her. I cannot imagine a more professional and caring medical provider.
Yes, yes, my provider is very good, very listening, very... I can say nothing bad about her. She's very, very, very human being and very well listening to the people, to the client, and nothing to complain about her. For me, she's 100% good. [redacted]
Very good about presenting options and possibilities
There was a third party in the office who was not an MD or didn't introduce themselves as an MD. It was very awkward. I'd like to be seen with Dr. Soneru with just hospital staff, MDs, and the technicians, not third parties who seem to slip in the door. It was very awkward. Please.
Dr Soneru is a Superstar. I feel very confident in her hands. I can't compliment her sufficiently to express my gratitude.
