Overall Experience
The overall experience at the ophthalmology practice is overwhelmingly positive, with several reviewers praising the doctors, staff, and service provided.
Positive Experience
The doctors and staff at the practice are praised for being knowledgeable, caring, and professional. One reviewer, Carol Robb, had a painless and successful cataract surgery and would never consider going to another practice. Ang B. credits Dr. Patel with changing her life for the better, and Ari Bajtner had a fantastic experience with Dr. Stein, praising his expertise and bedside manner. Paula Krecun and Carole Corns also praised the helpful staff and doctors.
Negative Experience
However, there are some negative reviews, with two reviewers giving the practice a 1-star rating. Wesley Hobbie's experience was marred by the practice's failure to accept Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance in accordance with their contracted rate. Mark Skalski had a poor experience, citing rude staff who failed to assist his mother, who had trouble navigating the office due to vision issues caused by eye drops.
