Handler Sheryl MD

I can not say enough wonderful things about Dr. Handler. After taking my 12 year old son to an adult ophthalmologist, I left still unsure if my son really needed glasses. A friend recommended Dr. Handler,
Who spent 2 ½ hours thoroughly checking my son’s
Eyes. She was amazing, sweet, funny and extremely informed. I left knowing my son absolutely did not need glasses. She and her staff are phenomenal.

We’ve seen a few ophthalmologists in Australia and California and hands down Dr Handler is the best with kids!!!
Our 3.5 yo has been seeing eye doctors since she was 3 months old, and Dr Handler is the only one she will cooperate and sit still for.
As a parent I’m thankful for Dr Handler’s bedside manner. She goes above and beyond in her explanations of the process and diagnosis (what’s happening and why). Something we’ve never experienced from any other Ophthalmologist.
Every staff member we have had the pleasure of meeting has been so warm and welcoming. They are amazing with children and are able to capture their attention and get them to do exactly what’s required without any issue. Everything is made fun!
They have helped us so much and we are forever grateful!
If you’re looking for a Paediatric Ophthalmologist, don’t look into anyone else — go directly to Dr Handler. You won’t regret it!

Hands down, one of the best experiences I have had with a doctor. I brought my 2 month old daughter in for an appointment today. Our pediatrician recommended we see her — in fact he takes his kids to her! What better recommendation than that! Chris, who assisted Dr. Handler was just so sweet and accommodating and gentle with my little girl. Dr. Handler was the same and beyond thorough. She spent a good 15 minutes just looking through my iPhone pictures of my daughter with a magnifying glass to asses her eyes. These two are the dream team. I will most definitely bring my kids there for all future eye appointments. Thank you both for being so sweet today!

Dr. Handler is exceptional! I highly recommend her. Her expertise, her knowledge and her ability to interact and read children is remarkable! Not to mention her office manager/​nurse (not sure of her title or name (forgive me)) I think her name is Chris, is so warm and lovely and friendly I wanted to give her a huge hug as soon as I spoke to her on the phone!!! She helped me and my 5 year old daughter feel at ease and comfortable. I won’t go anywhere else!

We had a great experience with Dr Handler and her staff today! They were all so kind and patient. They made the whole experience fun for my 2 year old, and told us what was going on with every step. They even made us feel better about insurance, offering to help out if we had any trouble getting reimbursed for costs. I highly recommend this practice. Very professional and helpful.

I wish I could make this review 10 stars!
My son started wearing glasses at 1 and ½ years old. Until yesterday, we had no idea exactly what was going on with him. We knew he was farsighted, but we never knew that he had an additional issue as well.
Dr. Handler and her staff were AMAZING! They made us feel like we had all the time in the world to ask questions and receive information. My son is still taking about them! They treated us like gold and made us feel so welcome. I am so grateful for the referral. I could never imagine seeing anyone else and I highly highly recommend this office.

Dr. Handler and her loving, experienced staff have cared for my two sons’ eyes for almost 10 years. Each boy has worn glasses for some time now, and each has improved greatly with Dr. Handler’s care. Every visit is extremely positive, caring, and comfortable. Dr. Handler is truly gifted at making little ones feel at ease in what could be a scary situation. She is professional and so talented, and she instills the same qualities in her staff. Her staff have been with her many years, and go out of the way to be courteous and helpful. We would never trust our boys’ eyes to anyone else! Over the last few years, we have also appreciated that she has not raised her fees, and is sensitive to the economy and the needs of parents to find affordable care. Her staff works with your insurance to file claims, and we have paid far less for her expert, specialized care than we have for our own adult eye care. Finally, we love that she is only about the kids and their eyes. The office does not even sell glasses, and you will have no icky hard sell at the end of the visit.

Dr Handler has been taking care of my youngest for 5 years. We have come a long way from where we started. Dr Handler is amazing with children and she’s kind. I highly recommend her to any child with vision problems. Her staff is amazing as well.
