    The staff at Quarry and Dr. Lamba are excellent. Trying to reach anyone by phone is impossible and the secretary never answers. It's always a callback which results in telephone tag. It was too difficult to get the MVA form copy. I was ready to change doctors because you can't get hold of anyone.

    Oxanna, the eye tech was AMAZING. I can see how fast and efficient she is. She even had me redo a test cuz I crossed by legs, even after she said NOT TO. She was so nice and cheerful. She was great at calming me down when I saw the eye pressure glue gun thingie. She is out of the ordinary. Dr. Lamba was so nice, too. I would luv to become her patient, but my glaucoma is not in need of a specialist at this point, yet ! ! ! !

    They didn't tell me when I would expect to hear the results of the biopsy results of the excision. I did call and they said two or three weeks the doctor would call me. The doctor didn't call me, the receptionist called instead. Luckily there was zero pain from the results of the excision and everything seems to be going very well.

    The doctor came in and reexamined my eye that was having an issue with and she explained what was going on and how she would like to treat it. I liked that she wanted to use prednisone drops instead of oral prednisone. I have many health issues and she was aware of my history and took that into consideration when choosing my medication. She was wonderful along with everyone in that office.

    The technicians I worked with were very good. They were friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. However, I had to wait so long to see the doctor that I left, i.e., without seeing the doctor. Please note: while I was sitting in the examination room waiting for the doctor, I could hear her laughing and carrying on with another patient......In fact....a staff technician told me the doctor spent a long time with that particular patient (sounded like she was having fun to me). I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AN OPTHAMOLOGIST TO FINISH MY EXAME. THANK YOU.
