UofU Patient July 03, 2013Dr. Chaya gave me the printout of what we talked about. There were some terms/conditions that we may have talked about but no using that terminology
UofU Patient June 11, 2013This was my second visit to the Moran & I was much happier with this visit and provider than my previous visit. Dr. Chaya was very helpful and focused: listened well, explained well, answered my questions, and offered extra follow-up.
UofU Patient May 29, 2013By care provider, I understood to be the doctor (Optamologist). Not the Optometrist.
UofU Patient May 25, 2013Things went verry well.

UofU Patient March 19, 2013Dr. Craig Chaya did an outstanding job of providing careful analysis of my eye problem without raising concern about my condition. He was attentive, asked fact finding questions and seemed truly concerned about my comfort and treatment. I would recommend Dr. Chaya without question.
UofU Patient March 14, 2013Dr. Chaya (? spelling), saw me after normal hours. I did not feel rushed and his service was more than excellent. He took a lot of time double checking the tests on my right eye. I normally see Dr. Zabrisky for normal appointments. Since I was very concerned about a problem with my "good" eye, Dr. Chaya more than eliminated my concerns and provided excellent service way beyond expectations.
UofU Patient March 08, 2013Dr. Chaya seemed very thorough, capable and knowledgeable. My eye problem turned out to be somewhat serious, which wasn't great news, but he did not sugar-coat the situation and let me know what to expect, and what I needed to do for the best possible results.
