Hollywood Eye Institute

I’m not a person to write reviews very often however, Dr. Greenbaum is an exceptional ophthalmologist. With every appointment I’ve had with her, it’s been a great one. I usually don’t like getting my eyes checked because of the anxiety it brings me, but Dr. Greenbaum was very thorough and explained everything to me step-​by-​step. She is very personable and will make sure the check up goes smoothly. She takes her time with EVERY patient and pays a lot of attention to her patients.
The staff is absolutely extraordinary. You can tell they work very hard to accommodate all patients. Once I had an emergency and they managed to fit me in with little to no wait! Absolutely amazing experience and I highly recommend seeing Dr. Greenbaum. So glad I found her!

Dr. Greenbaum is a good doctor but YOU WILL WAIT A VERY LONG TIME TO SEE HER. Do not have anything to do for about 3 hours from the time you made your appt. She is a one person show and seems to book 3 ppl for the same time slot.
When you DO get to see her, she doesn’t rush you and she is very informative and kind. The office is very clean but runs very slow.

I went to check my eyes, and from the first moment I made the appointment I told the person on the phone that I was going to pay independently because my insurance didn’t have eye coverage. I had my eye exam and paid the $ 120 for the visit. Before the appointment the lady in the front ask me for my insurance card, and I told her again that the insurance didn’t cover eyes. Anyway she took the information. One year later, she calls me telling me that I had a copayment, I told her that it could’t be because I paid my appointments independent of my insurance. Well she had charge me full price, but anyway she had passes to my insurance under other services, the insurance paid a part (she got paid double) and know another new lady in accountant is charging me the copayment because she does’t understand that I paid the full price as if I didn’t had insurance. They are committing fraud with the insurance, and they are incredibly inefficient that after ONE YEAR they contact me to my cellphone (which I have never changed) to tell me that it has been more than 90 days and that that they are going to send it to collecting.

Conveniently located a few steps away from my GI doctor’s office, I found the Hollywood Eye Institute and Dr. Greenbaum. Boy am I glad I did. They were able to fit me in right then and there with almost no wait. The place looks brand new and is super clean with all high tech equipment. While Dr. Greenbaum found nothing wrong with my eyes (thank goodness!), I am glad I stopped in and found a new doc! Thank you!

I have never been to a better physician. Dr. Greenbaum was so incredibly thorough and professional. Her office staff was so friendly and my wait time was next to nothing. She explained what was going on with my vision in a way that was easy to understand and outlined my treatment options in clear detail. I have full confidence in her and all of my family will look to her in the future for anything we need for vision-​related issues.

I have been a patient of Dr. Greenbaum’s for over a year now. Bring a licensed Health Care worker myself, and from a family of physicians, I can say that Dr. Greenbaum is by far one of the most professional physicians that I have ever met! She greeted us and I immediately felt a sense of calm and assurance that I would be well cared for. The Dr. did an extensive, gentle exam on me and answered all the questions that I had about my change in vision (after 40), contacts and general eye care. I felt so well cared for, that I brought in my 9 year old daughter to be examined. At one point she became difficult and challenged Dr. Greenbaum when she had to put drops in my daughter’s eyes. Again, the Dr. was gentle and kind, allowing my daughter to express how she was feeling. She assured her that the procedure would be quick and explained the importance of this portion of the exam. After a few minutes of incredible patience, Dr. Greenbaum was successful! My daughter left the office in her «silly (protective) glasses» smiling and feeling happy to have met Dr. Greenbaum.
I recommend her for anyone who is having eye challenges, or just needs a routine exam. You will certainly «see» what it is that makes Dr. Greenbaum, and her beautiful office, so special!

After leaving Memorial Region in Hollywood, one of the doctors in the emergency room recommended Dr. Greenbaum, who works at Hollywood Eye Institute (my dad has, at the moment, a severe Corneal ulcer in his right eye). So we took their advice and drove off to Cooper City. When we got to HEI, they noted a consultation *alone* would cost us $ 350 — shame on me really for not doing my research. But anyway, we managed to chip in just enough for them to make an exception, and when we met Greenbaum, she did what most pharma-​docs’ do (you know, a little check up, and then throw you some antibiotics).
What gives HEI a 1-​star review (it should really b zero), is that this Greenbaum (Green-​Bomb) gave my father empty medication. This is unacceptable. This lady is obviously out-​of-​touch when it comes to serving working-​class people, but she seems willing to help those who are loaded with cash. Anyway, we’re taking our services to two very reputable eye doctors in Pembroke Pines (Drs. Connie Chiang & Walter Chao). They’re more budget-​friendly and also very honest when it comes to a person’s health problems.
I would avoid Dr. Greenbaum, at all costs.
