I should have look at the reviews before visiting this doctor! But, anyway here’s my experience at the eye clinic…
— Lied about taking in kids, shes not a pediatrician.
— Over booked patients– so we are all waiting for 2 hours for eye examination. You see the chairs in the pictures? imagine them all filled and ppl standing in the middle and all waiting to see her. Why frustrate your patiences?
— Bad with kids, rushing and unfriendly– if you overbooked this is what happens.
— Old machines. It doesnt look like she upgrade since she started in the 80s.
— Tight and cramp space — like rushhour in trains, not a pleasant experience.
— Unprofessional felt rushed, so reading is inaccurate. I was skeptical at the eye readings, because her readings are vastly different from another ophthalmologist, and she would not accommodate me with another reading.
Sorry — I cant recommend her.

I made a same-​day appointment was I was happy that I was able to get in! I arrived at 1:20 for a 1:45 appointment-​plenty of time for paperwork, etc. After about 30 minutes, assistants brought me in for preliminary tests/​screenings (one mentioned he thought i had a stye). I was sent back out to wait for the doctor. After about an hour, I was the last patient in the office. Then, I heard her arguing with what sounds like LivingSocial about the copy/​headline of an ad… she was arguing about social media when I was waiting. I asked the staff 2x what was going on and mentioned that I could hear she was working on social media. I was finally brought in (they brought me into the same room she was in by mistake so I know she saw me) and then brought me to the correct room. After another 10 minutes I walked out. The staff was pleasant, but she was extradordinarily rude. I will never let her touch my eyes. (I would say again, but she never got to them in the first place). She did call to apologize and invited me back to the office but um… no thanks?

Never have i encounter such RUDE person… its a shame this person has a license to deal with the public. She’s extremely rude, she doesnt listen, she does not know how to treat a patient. I went in to see her with floaters in my eyes and i knew nothing on this topic she would not allowed me to speak neither did she listen. DO NOT GO SEE HER!!!

Read the reviews in the office, so it was too late to leave, although I should’ve.
Wanted to up my prescription so made an appointment. She inverted my lid without asking (to check for allergies) and I hadn’t mentioned to her my lid was feeling a little tender that morning because it wasn’t bothering me at that point. I even had the thought before heading over, «Well, at least I’m seeing an eye doctor the day my eye is actually bothering me.»
I then said, «I forgot to mention, but I think I had a stye.» She dismissed me with «I didn’t see a stye.» Guess who was in pain all day and woke up the next morning with a swollen eye? And it’s hard to say, regarding the filth in her office, if it’s 100% her fault or just 80% for not asking before pulling my eye wide open.

The wait was WAY TOO LONG. I was the first in the clinic and the doctor was two hours late even though I had an appointment. She barely gave me 5 mins and was rude and unapologetic. I took all my test results and I’m never stepping foot in that place ever again.

Horrible unprofessional staff! Waiting time is more than 5 hours! The waiting area stinks and it is so small, they over book people. They don’t care about patients. They had my mother waiting over 5 hours, she couldn’t take it anymore and left. Do not recommend this place stay away!!! I wouldn’t even give them one star but had to leave one star just to be able to give a review of this horrible place!

Stay away!!! Crazy lunatic!!! The office is filthy… The wait is extremely long… the «doctor» is absolutely unprofessional… She actually looked and acted like she was on some sort of drug… In the matter of two minutes she went thru 5 different diagnoses and 4 different treatment plans… Sad that people like that call themselves doctors…

She was absolutely completely unprofessional, rude, and demeaning. I don’t even know what I paid twenty dollars for because I’m not sure I ever received an examination from the doctor.
I went in for an examination, and wanted to inquire about contacts and a tearing problem. She thought I was someone else, then put my head back to start fitting contacts. I asked her about actually having my eyes checked. «Oh, you want an exam?» Fuck yes, I want an exam!
My exam lasted two minutes. She then bent my head back again for contacts. I reminded her about my tear ducts. She said she doesn’t deal with tear ducts. I questioned her on this – an ophthalmologist doesn’t deal with tear ducts? She became visibly irritated, then checked my eye, said there was a tear and that she jus diagnosed my tear duct problem and that she’d refer me to a surgeon. This was within one minute., maybe 30 seconds.
My head was then bent back again for contacts. I asked to wash my hands so I could do them but she said she’d just do it (and didn’t wash her hands).
Cue a bunch of mumble about trials, fitting, this might not work and shouting to the hallway. I asked questions.
«You’re asking me questions I don’t have the answers to.»
She sent me outside, contacts still in my eyes, I don’t know what the hell to do and neither do the staff. I asked to take them out immediately. The staff member wanted to make another appointment to come back after my contact trial. I refused and informed them I would never be coming back and that it was a horrible experience.
I don’t know if she’s not used to intelligent patients who’d like to get an idea of what the hell is happening to their eyes and what’s being placed in them, or if she actually just has a fake degree. She can’t be a doctor. If she actually is one and the certificates are legitimate, I worry for the state of medical schools. I have never been treated that way by any professional, let alone a doctor.
