Reviews:

“What can I say about Dr. Kwitko, other then he is an amazing eye surgeon that saved my eyesight! I woke up with major pressure on my optic nerves causing blurred vision and extreme pain. My regular eye doctor immediately contacted Dr. Kwitko's office and he was able to get me in immediately! I was sent out for the proper testing to confirm his preliminary diagnosis, and my surgeries were scheduled. Both surgeries were a complete success with no complications. I attribute my continued eyesight to Dr. Kwitko's quick actions and skills as a Neuro-ophthalmologist! Dr. Kwitko has continued to monitor my condition with absolute care and professionalism. He has always been open and honest with me, and answered all my questions. He and his office staff are the best!”
