Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He is great but the rest of his staff is terrible
defers most of the work to incompetent optometrists. Rude and nasty office staff. Multiple errors made and high prices - takes months for them to correct their errors. He is a brilliant opthalmologist but unfortunately you pay for his expertise while getting his dreadful assistants and very rude office staff instead. Plus plan to wait a long time past your appointment because they way overbook while taking no insurance and claiming their high prices compensate for superior patient service. Not.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Chaiken?
Dr Chaiken was recommended to me by another doctor who said he was 'the best'. Frankly, that was an understatement. After a number of tests run by his able assistants, he was able to provide a status report on my vision, retinal health, eyelid issues and cataracts (which I don't have yet but are apparently on the horizon). As for the eyelid issues which had prompted the appointment (and which the last 3 eye doctors couldn't remedy), two weeks later I am symptom-free!
