I went to check my glasses prescription and doctor gave me the wrong RX, not one but twice

I highly recommend The Eye Specialist facility in Bridgewater. The facility is run professionally, has a nice, clean waiting room, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the admin staff is wonderful, always polite and attentive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I want to mention that my experience with Dr. Sadek has been amazing. Dr. Sadek is the ultimate professional, friendly, and explains things in terms that are understandable to the patient. She is thorough, knowledgeable and discusses all treatment options. I highly recommend Dr. Sadek. Colleen read more

A friend referred me to Dr David Salz after a great experience of her own. I needed cataract surgery, and delayed committing to having it done out of fear. Once I was told my eyesight had deteriorated to the point that I would soon be unable to drive I knew I had to find a surgeon I was comfortable with - it is my eyesight after all. [[HIGHLIGHT]]From my first appointment, Dr. Salz and the staff were professional and kind, explaining everything to me and putting me at ease.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The surgeries were successful, and he even put stents in my eyes to help reduce the pressure in my eyes due to glaucoma. My eyesight is such that my favorite thing to do is look at the detail of leaves from a distance, something I had not been able to do. I highly recommend Dr. Salz and The Eye Specialists and will continue with this practice. If you need cataract surgery, don't delay - it is SO worth it! I will be forever grateful to Dr. Salz for giving me back my sight! read more

My eye doctor told me I needed Cataract surgery and suggested either Dr Alan or David Salz. I called and made an appointment with Dr David Salz and I am so glad I did. He was super nice and gentle and the staff at the Eye Specialist and the Bridgewater Ambulatory surgery center were just top-notch. I chose the Light Adjustable Lens and I am so glad I did. My right eye is more focused on near and the left on far, which luckily my brain works out very well. When I was still wearing contacts I had multifocal lenses for skiing, etc and near the end of the day my would get tired so I would remove my right lens to read, and my brain had no problem with that. I highly recommend the Dr David Salz and the eye specialist facility. I have been wearing glasses/contacts for 57 years and it is so great to wake up and not have to grab my glasses to see. Hopefully soon my habit of reaching to take off my glasses when I lay down to sleep or step into the shower will stop;-) read more

They have no respect for patients time. You could easily wait for two hours. Alan Salz is to the point t do being rude. The staff is impatient and impolite. After an hour and a half wait the response was we generally al propel to come in one to two hours before their time. read more

intake forms are massive with redundant questions. staff is aware, but doctors aren't making it a priority. i can see why the reviews are so low. they have an uncaring attitude in general. read more

Major medical practice specializing in eye care for older people. The waiting room looks like the Social Security office. Both doctors and staff are professional and friendly. My wife had cataracts which required surgery. These days they have a selection of three replacement lenses. First was the older version which is fixed focus, second was the more modern lenses with customized focus, third was a very new version which can be adjusted using laser light after the surgery. She chose option #2. She is satisfied with the results. Needs to wear sunglasses on very bright days. Better than wearing eyeglasses full time. Needs to use reading glasses for very small print. Actual surgery is done on a specialized facility in North Brunswick. read more

The Eye Specialists - Reception Area - Ophthalmologists Near Me - Bridgewater, New Jersey

Dr. Alan Satz performed my eye surgery and LAL, light reflective lenses. I was beyond pleased with the results. He walks you through the process step by step, is caring and gives you the results that best fit your eyes. My daughter had lasik surgery and several friends had cataract surgery with him and are so happy with the results. He is amazing. The office staff, surgery center and their staff were so friendly and caring. read more

I normally am prepared for an hour to 90 minutes for a dr apt. And I fully understand that these are difficult times. But to have to wait OVER 2 hours to even SEE a dr and then have her spend 3 minutes with my daughter is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. We won't be going back there. read more

Like another reviewer said: rude. The receptionists weren't very pleasant and it ruined the whole experience for me. I will never go back.

They might be decent doctors but the place is just rude. Today again I'm still waiting two hours after the so called scheduled appointments. The nurse assistants (like 10 of them) just laugh and say wellll, only one doc today. Everyone waiting says it's always this way. Here's a pointer: don't schedule so many fucking appointments so people aren't ready to rip your hair out and theirs. It's a factory of people run very poorly. Find another doctor! Okay!! read more

So I heard the wait times were terrible and yes it's true. The woman doc was so fast and somewhat dismissive. No sense of humor to lighten the mood. Didn't even say goodbye or ask if we had questions before she ran. Felt very rushed after waiting so long. Will be looking elsewhere for eye doctor. read more

I went in after concern I had an eye infection. I knew it would be a bit of a wait because it was Friday afternoon so that didn't really bother me. Staff was great and polite. However, Dr David Salz was less than pleasant. Checked my eye, said it was fine. I asked about a bump on my eyelash, he quickly dismissed it and walked out. Didn't even say goodbye. It felt like I was on an assembly line. I get that these offices are busy but I guess I've been spoiled by my ophthalmologists in the past who at the very least smiled, asked me how I was and took the time to make sure all my concerns were addressed. It's not that hard to do, and at the very least say goodbye. I mentioned it to the receptionist and she didn't say anything - not that I expected her to but I did want to note that this was not a great patient experience. I'll be looking for a different ophthalmologist even this office is closest. read more

Excellent doctors - very knowledgeable, thoughtful, and efficient in getting me in and out of the office. I came in for a pretty standard vision check-up because my eyes were getting really dry and I was getting headaches in the evening. Dr. David Salz quickly identified the issue and got me set up with a new prescription. By the way, I noticed another reviewer who mentioned long wait times. I only waited ~10 minutes beyond my scheduled appointment time -- and they are super busy, but that's because they are also the best in the area by far. Worth waiting a couple of minutes to get the best care. read more

Dr. David Salz performed cataract surgery in both of my eyes. Vision drastically improved. He was informative as to what my expectations should be and answered any and all questions I had without hesitation. read more

Dr. David Salz is a miracle worker and additionally a compassionate and nice gentleman. He provided excellent vision to my friend who was just about blind from two large cataracts and other eye issues. His office staff is exceptionally organized and very willing to help assure the patient of every step involved from medications to the surgical center to aftercare. All questions are answered ahead of time. Yes, occasionally there is a wait but at those times, we are happy to have top-notch care. We are very grateful for the entire practice and the final outcome. We recommend this practice without reservation read more

Dr. David Salz was amazing; he's super kind and was patient with all of my questions. I know a number of people who have come here for Lasik and have nothing but rave reviews! I'm trusting them with my eyes from here on out :) read more

Dr D Salz made my difficult decision to go through cataract surgery very easy. His staff was extremely helpful and his understanding of my challenges helped me get very comfortable with having another surgery right after recovering from a Retina reattachment procedure. Thanks to all at The Eye Specialists read more

Both Dr David Salz and Dr Alan Salz are fantastic. They are both very knowledgeable and professional. I had Lasik in May 2018 and have been seeing 20/20 ever since! The staff is wonderful. Everyone is always so nice. They have a great work flow and the staff is very competent. For the Lasik consultation they have it down to a science. You do a few preliminary eye tests with the staff and then watch a video about the procedure. Then Dr Salz comes in, does a few more eye examinations, and goes over any questions you may have. He will then go over the different types of procedures and types of Lasik and what he recommends is best for you. On the day of the procedure, they do more examinations to double and triple check everything. The actual procedure is less than 10 minutes. Dr Salz keeps you at ease and walks you through everything that is going on and what is coming next. Right after the procedure you can see, but everything is a little murky. They put protective eyewear and sunglasses on you. You have to do eye drops every few hours. I took some Tylenol PM which knocked me out for the night. In the morning I was seeing 20/20! You have a follow up appointment the morning after to check in if everything is okay. Overall it was a great experience and I regret I didn't do it sooner. Dr Salz was amazing and I wouldn't trust my vision to anyone else! read more

Two visits. Two different doctors. Two $40 copays. Was there for over an hour and a half each time. Doctor was interrupted while I was asking him questions during my second appointment and he never came back. The assistant let me out. I'm amazed at how my concerns about my blurry vision were dismissed and I was allowed to leave. I'm typing this now very blurry and trying to open and close either eye. Impersonal, lacked empathy, and overall a very disappointing visit. Felt like they just took my money and tried to get rid of me ASAP. Oh and Waze took me 10 minutes down the road, not sure that's their fault necessarily. read more

It's clear this practice egregiously overbooks their appointments. 10:45am appointment turned into a 40 minute wait. For that type of "teatment", these people better be the best eye doctors in the world. read more

I saw Dr. Alan Salz for LASIK surgery and am super happy with the results. Tested 20/20 the morning after the procedure! Dr. Salz had a calm and patient demeanor and did a great job of explaining the surgery as it was happening so that I always knew what to expect at each stage. Answered all of my (many) questions at my consultation as well as my post-op visits too. My interactions with the office staff were great too--everyone was friendly and they gave me the documentation I needed to use FSA funds to pay for some of the surgery. read more

It is 5pm. Sitting in waiting room since 3:10pm for a 3:15pm appointment. What a joke. Not coming back here.

Stated when booking appointment I wanted to be fitted for contact lenses. Not until the final exam phase when I got to see Dr. Moshel was I informed they don't perform that service, and that I would have to go elsewhere. I complained that I mentioned my reason when making appt, and that second appointment would require paying again. Even though I liked Moshel, I feel she didn't do the right thing by not charging me. Ironically she referred me to Dr. Ehrlich (also in Bridgewater), who I had left to go to this larger practice thinking they could address my future needs as I age. Mistake! Went to see Ehrlich, and even without him knowing this backstory, did not charge me. He is warm, personable and professional.

I had filled out all my paper work online but they didn't have it in the system when I arrived for my 4pm apt.Wasn't seen till an hour later.The receptionist was not very nice and made me feel unwelcome and told me the delay was because my information wasn't in the system yet.When I finally saw Dr. Moshel I felt rushed and that she really didn't take my concerns seriously,like I was a bother.I had shingles in my eye 9 months ago and continue to have problems with it so I needed a good caring doctor,but don't think I found one yet.I was so hopeful.Come back in a year I was told. read more

I went to Dr David Salz. He took the time to explain my issue and review my options. He was thorough in the discussion and his excellent training and background is evident. Highly recommend him. His staff was also wonderful! read more

Horrible.I am a long time patient that was double billed even after calling and pointing out the mistake I was told sorry.I hope the extra 60.00 was worth it.I will no longer be a patient! read more

Although the doctors are wonderful in this practice the office has become horrible. You come for a 230 appointment and are shuffled around and are not seen by the doctor until 420. This is the third time I have been here with different days, times and both physicians. It is a systemic issue. This will be my last visit. I don't have 2 hours to waste waiting for a routine eye exam. read more

The opthamologist at the Eye Specialists are very competent, professional, and caring.Two issues: 1. However, an appointment always involves much waiting. I feel you have through too many stations and/or rooms before you actually see your opthamologist. 2. The office is not very handicap accessible going to each station, even though the staff are willing to help. Even the glass door to the office is too heavy to open. If you need to use the restroom, go before entering the office. It is located in the public hallway. I do not know they insure cleanliness and safety of this facility for their patients, since the coronavirus pandemic started. At least, it is easier to get into the building with handicap access buttons. If these 2 issues were assessed better, they could earn a 5+ rating. I gave them 4 stars only because the physicians are worth the wait and you can work around the handicap accessible issues by bringing someone to assist you. read more

Everything was handled well. All procedures were explained, and both Dr. A. Salz and his staff (including the cataract surgery center staff) handled the operation and care professionally. read more

I had respect for him years ago when I had my cataract surgeries, but now this office has turned into a greedy and deceitful practice. My husband had both cataracts removed in March 2020, and they demanded 100% payment up front. Our family deductible is $2800, so we had to pay the remaining $2000 deductible. They waited 1 month to submit the insurance claims. In the meantime, the surgery center also wanted thousands, and we were forced to overpay on the deductible by $1800. Dr. Salz's rude office staff insisted they never got paid from our insurance company and would not refund the overpayment, but I confirmed our insurance did pay the claims. They do not return phone calls, and I had to go there in person. Still no refund. So I filed a complaint/dispute with my credit card company, provided proof, and waited the required 45 days. The $1800 was finally refunded in May. Note, if you opt to get the lens impacts for vision correction, the cost is an additional $3300, not covered by any insurance. read more

On Oct 15 2018 I had an appointment for an eye exam and waited an hour and 20 minutes. I dont feel they value their patients time.

I have seen all doctors here. Detached retina, glaucoma treatments, laser surgery. Excellent group.
