Dr Cebulla is kind, compassionate and so brilliant. I had many questions and she took her time with me.
Patient and listen
Dr. Cebulla is the best doctor I have ever seen. She diagnosed my rare cancer after I was misdiagnosed by another provider and performed my surgery 3 weeks later. She is always very caring and explains everything very well. I am blessed to have her as my doctor.
Very kind and professional.
Very professional, yet friendly. Explained things well. Seemed interested in me and the issue for which I was referred to her.
As usual, good. Once I saw her!
Dr. Cebulla enlightened me by telling me how other health conditions can be revealed in the eyes. She did a deep dive into my family history for certain health concerns that were revealed in my eye exam. Fortunately, I am already aware of them, but will certainly have regular follow up appointments/tests for those conditions. She spoke to me on my level and gave volumes of information. She even suggested I consider registering for a clinical study, which I am very happy to do.
