    Fixed my cataracts, and very good followup. Keeps good history of eye problems. Office staff are helpful.

    Wills Eye Hospital - Comfortable and inviting waiting area

    Elite Level Review: Wills Eye Hospital (Cataract & Primary Eye Care)…read more​Rating: 5/5 ​When it comes to advanced optical infrastructure, there is a massive difference between standard clinical care and a master-level institution. Wills Eye Hospital operates with total autonomy and structural excellence. From the pristine, curved architectural layouts of the waiting areas to the elite team rosters mounted on the walls, this facility is designed for high-resolution visual execution. ​The Forensic Breakdown ​The Clinical Environment: A highly organized, zero-redundancy medical footprint. The seating arrays are mathematically optimized, the lighting minimizes refractive interference, and the signage establishes an immediate boundary of mutual respect and operational decorum. ​The Team Matrix: This isn't a single-practitioner operation; it is a unified powerhouse of medical intelligence. Names like Abendroth, Gault, Pericic, and Wisner represent an elite tier of optical science, backed by a clinical team photographed and indexed with absolute geometric precision. ​The Performance: They don't just check boxes; they optimize the human lens. If you want your vision restored to its ultimate specification, you trust the absolute authority in eye care. ​A Note on Clinical Adaptability & Fortitude ​In the world of advanced surgical revision, you need practitioners who can bypass obstacles and adapt to any intentional hurdle. It brings to mind the historic account of a patient who suffered severe facial trauma, completely destroying his eyelids. ​The primary surgeon, operating with absolute resourcefulness, successfully executed a skin transplant using tissue sourced from a circumcision procedure. The operation was an absolute structural success, and the patient's sight was completely preserved. The only lingering clinical complication? The poor guy ended up just a little bit cockeyed. ​Thankfully, the elite team at Wills Eye knows exactly how to align a baseline, no matter the origin of the specifications! ​

    This whole experience was a disaster. My husband is handicapped and when I made the appointment,…read morethey made NO mention of a possible 3-4 hour wait! Never heard of such a thing. So we came unprepared with meds and snacks and something to do. I was upset. THEN we got to see the cornea specialist -- Dr. Rapuano. Because of my husband's handicap, he has a very hard time with drops and keeping his eyes open -- which I warned them about ahead of time. The doctor just gave up first try -- after getting all the drops in, he refused to try a second time to do the pressure test, even though my husband said he would try harder to keep his eyes open. He was very off-putting and not very professional. Basically, told us my husband can't have any surgeries to save his eyesight because it doesn't look like they'd be able to do the pressure test afterward. Both my husband and I asked him to please try to do the test again since my husband's eyes were prepped, and he refused! The whole trip was a waste of time -- and we spent $34 to park! We were just deflated by the unprofessionalism and the fact they gave my husband no hope to repair his eyesight. Lazy doctor and absolutely no bedside manner for sure. They scheduled him for 6 months -- for what? Why make that trip again and pay so much to park at a facility that is so unprofessional.

    Dr. Weinstock is fantastic! I went to Friedberg Eye Associates in Woodbury, NJ and Dr. Weinstock…read morewas the physician who treated me for cataracts. However, he discovered another eye issue that that needed to be treated before the cataract surgery could be done. He was patient, listened to my concerns, explained what he discovered, and treated the issue to enable me to proceed with the cataract surgery. He understood my medical issues and made every effort to make me comfortable before, during, and after the surgery. He is top notch and I would recommend him to anyone.

    Dr. Weinstock performed laser refractive surgery on me in June 2018…read more I first met him during a consultation in April 2018 where he spent nearly two hours with me doing an extremely thorough consultation. He answered all of my and my wife's questions and concerns, and never tried to push an unnecessary procedure on me. I had other consultations for laser surgery before ultimately selecting Dr. Weinstock, and all of my other consultations felt rushed and very sales-like and not at all clinical. Dr. Weinstock was readily available to address questions via email and text, and was flexible in his scheduling of in-person follow-ups to accommodate my needs (early/weekend appointments). The surgery itself was successful, taking less than an hour and completely painless. I had clear vision a few hours after my surgery and was completely recovered within 24 hours. I have no residual dry-eye, my night vision is crystal clear and without any starbursts (common post-LASIK issues that I did not experience). Getting LASIK was easily the best decision of my life, and I'm very glad that I chose Dr. Weinstock.

    Dr. Janine Tabas replaced both of my thickening and darkening cataracts, about one year apart,…read moreusing different replacement lenses, which is not typical but which worked out marvelously for me. My vision now is simply amazing--I donated my glasses and tossed my lenses. Dr. Tabas is an outstanding diagnostician and a superb surgeon, and both procedures went off splendidly. I had to go out of pocket considerably to pay for two state-of-the-art lenses, but that's because insurance will rarely if ever pay for anything other than standard lenses which will give you near or distance vision but not both. It was worth it for such great vision, and the procedures themselves are basically painless! Don't hesitate to have this surgery because you're worried about pain or discomfort--it's a piece of cake! The only reason I did not give the practice a 5-star rating are the offices (there are two; one in Philadelaphia and one in Bala Cynwyd) and the staff. The staff are often not easy to work with, when you can actually speak to a human, and many times less than polite. There was also a billing issue after the surgery that I will give them plaudits for fixing. The surgical center in Bala Cynwyd is a different operation and they're no less difficult to reach or work with. And the surgical "prep" borders on the absurd; even though you are awake and aware, and are just given a mild sedative, Versed, that wears off very quickly, you have to get a doctor's signoff with a number of components and a signed EKG. It's just a CYA for the surgical center in my view. If you need eye surgery, I heartily recommend this practice and Dr. Tabas!

    They fit me in as a new patient for a same-day emergency appointment after I got a small amount of…read moretiger balm ointment in the corner of my eyelid and my eye was extremely swollen and inflamed. Everyone, from the person who scheduled my appointment, to the front desk staff, to the technician, to DiDomenico were exceptional in their skill, kind manner, and efficiency. The doctor was so impressive in her ability to diagnose the issue and provide treatment. At the end of my appointment she told me call if it didn't get better and the next day ( Friday before Memorial Day weekend!) I had to call and a technician communicated with her over the phone and she increased the strength of my medication. Given the timing of this incident I would have been in a crisis if not for the care that this practice provided to me. I can't thank them enough!!!!!
