My friend credits Dr. Joseph Garber with saving her vision when she came back from vacation with a detatched retina, so she called to see if I could get in for an emergency appointment. Thank God they got me in within a few hours, to see Dr. Gina Rogers. When I arrived, reception was warm, & I was called back to a room quickly. Nora numbed my affected eye to gently measure my eye pressure, gave me a vision test, and then documented my detailed optical history, symptoms, and pharmacy to call in prescriptions. Dr. Rogers came in shortly after. She was warm & compassionate as she thoroughly looked in both eyes. She prescribed me 3 different things, to be thorough. By the next day, I was feeling much better. I am so grateful to the very warm team who got me in so quickly! I am so grateful to Dr. Rogers for letting me squeeze into her schedule when I was so miserable. My friend has recommended this practice to others for years. After my emergency visit, I saw why. I highly recommend too!

Upon questioning, I discovered she never contacted my insurance until the afternoon before the surgery! And that was only because I asked her the status.

I saw that someone in the office once attempted to call me but left no message. I'm rating this 2 stars because Dr. Shifrin seems so nice, but the office needs some serious and competent people.

He spent the majority of the call telling me that it gave him anxiety to operate on someone who doesn't live within driving distance of their office. That's a reasonable policy to have in place but I wish that information had been communicated to me before I waited 6 months for this appointment and paid $250. 19 minutes into talking with me, he said he had a patient who was "actually here in the office" and he needed to go. I found this incredibly rude. During our brief call, I got mixed signals from him about whether or not I would be allowed to have surgery since I don't live nearby. By the end of the consult, I asked the doctor point blank if he would recommend surgery and he said yes it would benefit me. He even sent an invoice for surgery! Then, the office informs me that he does not in fact recommend surgery. So Dr. Phelps lied to me during my consult. After a conversation with Jasmine the manager, it was clear that no one was at all sympathetic to my confusion and concerns. I was able to get my consult fee refunded which I was grateful for. However, I received no apologies and, overall, my experience at this facility seems fairly unacceptable for a doctor's office.

Barely a-ok. BARELY. I saw Dr. Doren because I thought I had some sort of infection in my eye. I…read morehad gone to Physicians immediate care a day earlier and they had misdiagnosed my issue as allergies. The doctor was very nice, and seemed very capable. He diagnosed two different issues and wrote me a scrip, then booked for me to come back a few days later to see how well my eye responded to the medication. I had to do a full round of antibiotics and put cream on my eyeball. I am now healed from that issue, so that part is A-ok. My issue with this office has more to do with their "office policies". First of all, I was annoyed that the Dr. kept trying to get me to come back over and over for expensive office visits to confirm that the treatment was working. If I hadn't said no for the 3rd visit I would still be paying for office visits to this day as my insurance doesn't cover office visits completely. I had already paid a couple hundred bucks to get my eye fixed with insurance if that tells you anything. What prompted me to write this review was the way they handled the next issue. I received a bill from the place where I was misdiagnosed (never saw a doctor, just an arrogant nurse guy who barely looked at me). The bill was inflated and that pissed me off so I called them to see if they could make an adjustment for the misdiagnosis and bad service I got since they were billing me a few hundred bucks too. They said they would need a fax from Dr. Doren's office stating what the actual diagnosis and treatment was so they could proceed. I called Dr. Doren's and asked them to send this info and she agreed. A few days later I get a call from Physican's Immediate care about the info they received. Seems Dr. Doren's office just sent a scribble from a prescription pad with the prescription on it. Frankly, I think this should be enough, but that is for another review, but they said they needed my records which should include the findings, including the diagnosis and the treatment prescribed. I called Dr. Doren's office back to ask that she do this and she sighed heavily for being put out apparently and said she would "have to speak to Dr. Doren" about this and that there would be a $15 charge to release my records because this takes "extra time". Jesus H. I said, well then can I just have my own records then since I've paid for this already? and she said, No, it's still $15 to get my own records released. I have a file of all of my medical records, blood work results, etc etc and have never had to pay one red cent for them. I do not understand what is the big deal of helping one of your patients resolve this issue. Instead they see it as an opportunity to nickel and dime me to death. I'll seriously have to reconsider whether or not I will return to this Doctor again because of how unhelpful they have been with this situation. It's a small office, no nurse, just the person at the front and the doctor and they are conducting business like it's a giant bureaucratic establishment. I am very disappointed. This is why I deducted 2 stars, for adding more expense and bureaucracy to an already annoying situation. Thanks Guys.
