Doctor was very kind and went over test results and discussed the next visit and what to expect
I trust Dr Mazzulla 100%!
Good
If I could choose a different area ophthalmologist that would be "in-network", I would. I don't appreciate being treated as if I were on an assembly line.
Dr Mazulla rates 10/10 every time I visit. He is both professional and personable at the same time. He shows you the pictures of your eyes and explains any abnormalities. As an RN for 40 years He is a cut above the rest. He also saved me from losing my eyesite a few years back. I am very grateful to him
