Worst staff...longest wait I ever had to endure and I was an "emergency" case. Will never go again.

My wife had cataract surgery with Dr. Joel Confino. First they removed the cataract from her left…read moreeye at the Elmwood Park surgical center. Total time in the center about 3 1/2 hours. She did have laser surgery to correct her astigmatism first, then a second procedure to remove the cataract and replace it with a new lens. Three weeks later back to have her right eye corrected. Total time in the center 4 hours. Again, she had two procedures, laser surgery then the cataract removal and new lens replacement. No pain at all for both procedures. I highly recommend Dr. Joel Confino for any eye problem or even just to get your eyes examined. My wife had prelim and post op appointments and never had to wait longer than 20 minutes. We always had 10:00 am appointments for the office visits, so we were probably one of the first patients of the day.

I was given a very thorough eye exam by Dr. Dipal Shah who is an Ophthalmologist, Corneal…read moreSpecialist & Cataract Surgeon. Following the exam, she advised me that I have cataracts and we discussed whether I wanted IO lenses to correct my severe myopia (nearsightedness) or IO lenses to be able to see up close. IO stands for IntraOcular, meaning inside the eye. There are different lenses for the choices. Dr. Shah said she does the procedure in 2 locations, Union and Elmwood Park. This makes me wonder why the name of the business has the words "& Surgery Center". The website name comes up as newjerseyvision.com Dr. Shah said that her Surgical scheduler would call me the next day, but actually it was over a week later. As I was leaving, I stopped at the front desk and asked for a printed copy of my Rx for eyeglasses. I always carry a Rx for glasses in case I'm out of state and my glasses break or get lost. Also, I wasn't sure when I would have the cataract surgery & my glasses needed replacing. The person at the front desk said that the Rx hasn't been finalized yet. I asked her to mail it to me when it was. She said I would have to pick it up in person and sign for it. She didn't know when it would be ready. When the Surgical scheduler called me the next week, she told me that the Dr. had an opening in 2 weeks and explained that Original Medicare only covers the basic lenses and that the ones I need are more expensive and also the facility charge for the closer location to me in Union - 4 miles away charges a higher fee than the Elmwood Park facility 23 miles away from me. My Supplemental Insurance only covers the balance of what Medicare covers. The cost to me would be about $5,500. for both eyes. I asked her to repeat that. She said it's partly because I have an Astigmatism. I was in shock. Others who've had cataract surgery per lens for the "better" lenses. I said that I would have to think about it and completely forgot to ask for my Rx for glasses. This becomes detailed to show why I gave a 2 star rating. I called a few days later for it and after many rings (during normal business hours), it went to voicemail; I left a message with all the pertinent information. No one responded. I called again a few days later and again, had the same result ~ no one responded. Each time, I had pressed the option for the front desk. The next time I called, I pressed the option for Optical for glasses and someone answered. I gave her my name, the date of the exam & explained that I've been trying to get my written Rx for over a month and asked if she could help me. She asked when I would be coming in and I said around 12noon; she said it would be at the front desk. When I arrived (just before noon), no one at the front desk could find it. A nice woman at the front desk asked who I spoke with; I said I didn't ask for her name but it was whoever answered in Optical. I relayed the conversation from that morning and she looked me up in the computer & said that it hadn't been finalized yet. I said "that's unacceptable"; I then explained about leaving 2 prior messages and no one responded and that is just not right. I said that I wasn't leaving without the Rx. As far as I could tell, she did not check with the Optical Dept. but messaged the Dr. and told me to take a seat. The Dr. called her back about 10 minutes later; after another 10 minutes, she said it was printing out. Then she clearly explained that my eyes are only going to become worse without the cataract surgery. I said I understood that. She gave me the paper to sign acknowledging receipt of the Rx. I never raised my voice. I feel that they caused all the delays to get me to sign to have the cataract surgery OR to use the Optical Dept. in their office for eyeglasses. I remembered from years prior that the latter is supposed to be a separate business from an eye Dr. and that's why she didn't contact them. My rating for Dr. Shah would be 5 stars for the exam and consultation and Zero for the BUSINESS. It's most likely that the Management has set protocol for the employees and associates. In my opinion this felt like deception. I will be going to a different ophthalmologist.
