Dr Pecsenyicki is a very nice man. He is always very thorough and explains everything so I can understand it. He listens when I am having trouble with my Sjogrens affecting my eyes and he is always willing to help me find ways to alleviate the pain and dryness that affects me. He is a very decent doctor and very caring as well.
