Even though behind schedule, Dr. Chortkof did not rush my appointment. Discussed my history. Gave recommendations on non-preservative eye drops which I am now taking. Also gave advice about daily warm eye pack to keep lid oil glands open and working properly which I am doing. Gave other options which I won't consider now, but may in the future.

I believe Dr. Chortkoff is excellent. I cannot say the same for the techs who do the scanning and other procedures. Over the time I have been going to the Moran Eye Center, Dr. Chortkoff has caught several errors. If I didn't trust Dr. Chortkoff, I would find another provider.
