Patient Reviews
May 13, 2021
I experienced a detached retina and I knew the symptoms. I knew exactly when it occurred and where I was and the likely reason it occurred. I was not referred to Dr. Kieval for 30 days only because Dr. Kieval was on vacation and the person I saw told me I did not have a detached retina. So I spent a month with a detached retina which to almost anyone is a medical emergency. When I did see Dr. Kieval he told me I did have a detached retina and he would take care of it that same day. Dr. Kieval did so and every year I return for a "checkup" and all is well. The office that was covering for Dr. Kieval "blew it". On the phone I was told I would be seeing one of the two doctors but when I arrived the same day I was switched to a "Fellow". In hindsight I should have asked to have one of the other Ophthalmologists look at my eye. I knew where the retinal tear was and had a classic symptom of a retinal detachment (or tear). I have nothing but praise for Dr. Kieval.
