Clearly, he's competent, also has a great tableside manner and is an unusually good conversationalist for a busy physician. And while Dr. Drucker is outstanding, be advised that the office staff is not nearly as capable as the doctor himself - with Rosa as the lone exception. If you call, you'll get a disinterested monotone on the other end of the line, with no comprehension or desire to resolve your issue. Again, ask for Rosa, and this problem solves itself. I'm hoping he has no immediate plans for retirement - he's one of the good ones.

He is quiet and not a "ha ha" kind of guy. But that is different from condescending, although I could see where it could be taken that way. And, possibly, he was having a bad day - or the reviewer was. Recently, I was looking for my prescription (I was ready to order glasses) and couldn't find it. I called the office. They looked up my prescription, read it to me, and told me they could mail or fax it to me or I could pick it up. I'd say that's going above and beyond the call of duty! I'll go back!

I recently visited an ophthalmologist with the hope that he'd help me resolve the issue. Long story short, he did not. Not even close. I explained my symptoms to Dr. Wong during my annual eye exam. She examined both of my eyes closely based on my comments and diagnosed the issue pretty quickly. I am so thankful that she gave my poor painful eye the attention it needed. I also really appreciated all the covid-19 precautions everyone in the office took. They went above and beyond to make it clear that all equipment had been cleaned before I used it, to wash their hands frequently, etc. A+.

My technician was super attentive and she was efficient at the same time. My ophthalmologist was just the same. I am due back as I could not have my pupils dilated had I had to go back to work and be operational. That is the only cloud in this very blue sky - having to wait another 3 weeks before being able to do this part of the exam and finalize my contact lenses prescription. I received my glasses prescription by email. I don't know if I love that or hate that I was not offered to have glasses done. A bit of an anticlimax as consequently I have contact lenses and glasses that do not match my now new prescription.

I got an appointment right away - and no anxious waiting time. Truly grateful for his dedication and exceptionalism. I feel great knowing that i'm in his care!

Took her about 5 minutes to do a beautiful job of replacing the nose piece. Had me try my glasses on to make sure it sat well. She was also very friendly, and told me she waived the fee.

Several years ago I located his practice after retirement, when I no longer had VSP coverage, and my vision care provider at the time, a major UC affiliated clinical practice, which was current with Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) refused senior medicare insurance. Dr. Ensor is among a very small number in the bay area, who is well versed and equipped in monitoring and in available treatment options for AMD, being on call 24/7 for emergencies in vision changes, and his office accepts medicare and other related senior insurance plans. But, more importantly he and his entire staff are sincere, empathic, and provide the highest level of patient-based care. My wife is now one of his new patients. We both appreciate how Dr. Ensor, his associates, & office staff are so pleasant, respectful & understanding of all of the challenges that patients deal with & present!

He is so kind and makes sure you are comfortable and doesn't make you feel like you're giving a "wrong answer" during the eye exam. He also doesn't have the "poof" machine where the air blows in your eye!!!! He uses an updated test that is even more accurate than that torture test haha!!! He also doesn't have to dilate your eyes because he has a new and updated way to do the same thing without dilating your eyes! So you can go about your day after your exam without wearing those sexy thick blacked out glasses or the slide in screen things lol. The staff is great too and really helped me find a super cute pair of RayBans! Thank you Dr. Ensor for always taking care of us! You are definitely the BEST!
