Dr. Edward Kuwera is one of the best doctors I have met with and been treated by. He is incredibly patient, kind, and thoughtful. He respects my time and allows me to ask any questions I want about my eye care. He breaks down difficult medical terms to a way that makes sense to me. He ensures that I feel listened to and that I am in a clean and safe environment.

Dr. Kuwera is one of the absolute very best health care providers I have ever received treatment from. At my age, I've experienced many appointments many doctors. He is the ABSOLUTE BEST in communicating with his patients, explaining conditions and treatment and listening INTENTLY to patient concerns. I have never felt that Dr. K is rushing through the appointment or giving route answers. I feel like Dr. K is as concerned for my health and welfare as he would a member of his own family. I feel so very fortunate to have been referred to him.

Dr. Kuwera is a caring and wonderful doctor. It was obvious that he had been thinking about my eyesight condition since I saw him last year because he suggested a change to my reading glasses' prescription and demonstrated it to me. I am having the prescription filled and having one lens changed.

I am very pleased with Dr. Kuwera and the Bel Air office. He makes special accomodations to see me in the Bel Air office because getting downtown is not easy for me. I can't drive in the city and have difficulty getting to the Wilmer office because of the distance to the offices from the front door. I have mobility and breathing issues.

I am a 64 year old woman. Retired professional. And I've seen many health care providers in my time. I can honestly say Dr. Kuwera is among the best, if not THE best, health care provider I have ever encountered. Obviously Knowledgeable, an excellent communicator re my condition and treatment options all delivered with exceptional interpersonal skills. I was the last patient of the day, but Dr.K in no way made me feel rushed or hurried through my appointment. Just the opposite. He listened carefully to my concerns and history and throughout my appointment engaged MY thoughts, comments and questions.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/4/2023
Not only is Dr Kuwera a skilled surgeon, he is such a kind and caring person. I can't think of a better doctor.
