I have to say that Dr. Oberman's practice where he currently works is the worst operation I have ever experienced. Accompanying my wife for her follow up visit after her procedure which took place last year, our appointment time was completely ignored by his office. After waiting an hour without anyone contacting us, we asked the receptionist for information as to why there was such a delay. No information was provided. Returning to the waiting area wondering what to do, the doctor was leaving one of his patients on the way to his next one and I learned from him that he scheduled his patient office visits in groups for a given time and then asks them to wait for him to find the time to actually see them. Basically overbooking a time slot to conform to his treatment methods. This is totally disrespectful to his patients who expect his individual attention and treatment and ignores the specific circumstances of each patient's requirements. For anyone who reads this, please consider other optometrists if you can. Since this guy joined the ReFocus group a few years ago , his patient performance rating has plummeted and my wife and I are so disappointed, wishing that we had other options following her procedure performed by him a year ago. read more

The doctor is good but the office manager is rude and unprofessional, leaving a very bad aftertaste. Went in for an annual checkup. I give receptionist my new insurance card but she says she is not familiar with the company so she will charge me a self-pay rate. Fine. While I wait for the doctor in the patient room, her boss, the Office Manager, comes to follow up. She tells me, 'You're not a new patient (true) and this is a routine exam. You pay for the eye test at self-pay rate but IF the doctor finds something wrong and you need further testing or treatment, we'll go through insurance." Again, fine. Doctor checks my eyes and his diagnosis is "nothing new, eyes look healthy". Everything runs smoothly and 10 minutes later nurse escorts me back to the receptionist to checkout. There, I am told I owe co-pay and that they will send to insurance which will then send me a bill. Wait, doesn't this contradict what the OM just told me a few minutes earlier? So, I turn to the OM looking puzzled and reiterate that it was a routine eye test and doctor found nothing wrong. OM's reaction was startling, as if a switch had been flipped. She starts accusing me of trying to commit a fraud. A FRAUD??? And because she was wearing a mask, she raised her voice high enough to make sure everyone at the clinic heard her. The OM then, angrily shuffles through my chart and says, "You have a pre-existing condition (same for the last 7 years) and that diagnosis goes under a different insurance code. Now, how would I have known that? But as for my pre-existing condition, YOU would have known so you clearly failed to acknowledge it earlier. And to suddenly go ballistic, accusing me of fraud? Do you even know what the word means? AWFUL. read more

Stay away, this place is very unprofessional. First time I went I waited almost 40 mins to be seen by the doctor. Finally got seen and they scheduled me to come back to be dialted. I went to shake Dr. Obermans hand and he stuck out his fists. He said he doesn't shake hands with anyone for sanitary reasons. Ever hear of washing your hands after each patient like most doctors do? Came back for my apt to be dialted. When I arrived promptly for my apt the receptionist says your apt was at 2 not 3:10 and we will have to reschedule you for another day. I insisted it was 3:10 and when someone else finally looked at the chart they said it was 3:10 and had been a mistake. After they dialted Me they said wait 15 mins and the doctor will see you. Needless to say after an hour sitting in the light after I had been dialted the doctor called me in. Stay away from this place read more

First of all, this review is not about Dr. Oberman, it is about MYEYEDR. and specifically DAWN the office manager at the Westport location. I made an appointment with them just because they were in network and a routine eye exam had a $0 copay. Upon check in, I was immediately explained about a $44 upcharge for photos of my eyes, instead of dilation. I approved. After my exam, in which additional questions I had about my eye health were denied because it would have to be a separate, medical appointment, from my routine exam. No problem. This is where the confusion began. When I came out to order my contact lenses that they prescribed, I was told that they did not have the contacts that THEY prescribed, in their system, so I would have to pay $145 for the exam. I explained that I had a $0 copay with my insurance, and I refused to pay. I was told that if I did not order from them TODAY, that I would be responsible for payment. I was told that I had no choice or options. I asked if I could order a different lense that WAS in there system and was told that I would have to wait for that answer. I asked DAWN (office manager that I was dealing with) to call me with the answer as I had other errands to run. She insisted that I pay first while awaiting the answer to an option that was available, but was told wasn't. DAWN told me to sit down and wait, that she had "other things to do". This is where I made the unfortunate mistake in frustration, of using a bad word in asking what she had to do more importantly than helping a customer? There was one older man that was already checked in and waiting to go back, but no one else at the front desk where I was. I called my insurance company immediately and spoke with a representative that said to just submit the mailed bill to them and payment would be sent to MYEYEDR. Simple. The point of my review is how rude and unwilling to help with an insurance matter (which is not my strongest skill) between MYEYEDR. and the insurance company, DAWN was. She was very condescending, smug, and argumentative with a customer that was just weak and confused regarding insurance. BEWARE of trying to save a couple of bucks and sacrificing basic customer service guidelines. DO NOT GO TO MYEYEDR. in Westport. *UPDATE TO FOLLOW* read more

Dr Oberman is out for money. He performed a very unnecessary cataract operation on my Left eye in 2015. I have been suffering the consequences for 3 1/2 years. I cant see now. I am an artist but beyond that, normal daily tasks, like flossing,sewing, doing my drawings& paintings have been robbed from me. ANd regarding driving/photo phobia.I am now afraid to go out in dark as i have no proper visual grip. I do NOT recommend that NO one trust him or use him as their ophthalmologist read more

I wish I had picked a different doctor for my cataract surgery. They are not nice at Dr. Oberman's office, and they bully you.

Dr. Oberman has done an excellent job dealing with my sight challenges and also with my husband's glaucoma. I would recommend him highly.

The most God awful optometrist out there. Ruined my eyes in cataract surgery and then put in the wrong prescription, both distance and reading. No apologies. Wouldn't admit any wrong doing, but I guarantee you, he did wrong, evidenced by other ophthalmologists. Rude. Wouldn't refund my money. Wouldn't correct mistakes. Eyes are strained. Can't withstand walking or driving towards the sun. Driving at night a problem because headights coming toward me look like bright halos. How does he stay in business all these years? Stay away from this Creep! read more

The doctor is ok. However, the staff is beyond horrible and rude, they triple book appointments so even if you are the "first" appointment of the day, prepare to see four there also the "first" appointment of the day. read more

My dad referred me to his eye doctor, Dr. Oberman, and everything was a-ok. I went in for a routine exam and all the staff were friendly and helpful. The receptionist even helped me discover that I owed about a third of what I thought I would owe because my insurance is wonky. I did have to wait about half an hour after my appointment time to be seen, though, which wasn't ideal. read more

Dr. Oberman was fantastic. It was my first real scare with my eyes. He was able to order the appropriate blood work and labs done and deal my eyes. He worked me back in to his busy schedule and once my condition cleared, he advised me on moving forward. He is not always on time, but I trusted him and his diagnostic skills. I will be staying with him for my and my whole family. read more

This place is now My Eye Doctor, which has added a lot of insurance hoops to jump through. I go to Dr. Khorosh who is great. But had an awful time w/Dr. Oberman while I was on vacation and Dr. Khorosh was on maternity leave. The front desk staff tried their best to help as they always do. My contacts were backordered (nobody told me this for 2 wks) so before I left they offered samples (awesome), but they mistakenly gave me the wrong script- I couldn't see with them. I had the paper script for the brand of contacts I usually wear, but these weren't in stock where I was traveling. Several places had another brand though, which I'd tried and liked the year before. Same power and dimensions as the script I had in hand, and the person at the front desk of Oberman's office said it should be fine he would just need to get Dr. Oberman to sign off on the brand change to get me the samples. Even though I'd tried those very lenses last time w/a doc from his own office- an office I'd gone to gone for years- Oberman would not approve the brand change. Just said sorry and good luck. Thankfully a doc from the office where I was visiting was way more helpful, signed off and got me the samples so I could see, but definitely a bad experience with Oberman. read more
