The whole appointment from start to finish was very unpleasant and I will never go to Ted Gerszberg again. I won't recommend him either. I was told my routine eye exam would be covered by my insurance after verifying with the receptionist. It was not. My fault for not calling the insurance company direct! When calmly questioning the full cost of the eye exam, the receptionist threatened me with an ultimatum or I would be put into collections. She was nasty!
The eye exam felt rushed. Dr Gerszberg did not do the pressure test for Glaucoma until I reminded him (which was a major reason for getting my eyes checked and highlighted in the office questionnaire) He proceeded to tell me he didn't think he could do the test as I was "so jumpy". (I am a laid back, calm, easy going Health Care Professional who is always relaxed during eye tests).
My husband had his eye test was given a much stronger prescription than his previous one, had his new glasses made up and couldn't see very well. He was told by Dr Gerszberg to wear the new glasses for two weeks and his eyes would adjust . After two weeks my husband went back to Dr Gerszberg and asked him to recheck his eyes as everything was still blurred and driving was dangerous. Dr Gerszberg was angry at being questioned and threatened my husband that no provider in the area would see him as he would make sure of it!
My husband wound up going to Cohen's in the Mall for a retest, got a completely different prescription, got his glasses redone and voila! He could see amazingly through the new glasses. I have had eye tests done since Dr Gerszberg and have never had a problem with "jumpiness" or anything else. read more
