I've been going to Dr. Ciobanu for my eye exams since 2010 (over 15 years). She is warm, welcoming, and very professional. She always takes the time to explain everything clearly and makes me feel completely at ease throughout the entire eye exam. She is patient if you have questions and she is clearly passionate about eye health.
Her office is spotless and modern, with state-of-the-art equipment that made the whole process quick and comfortable. I mainly use contacts now and she always presents multiple options to ensure I can get the best lenses for my needs, while balancing both comfort and price. Highly recommended!
