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.

Dr. Lederman and her staff, especially her surgical coordinator, were awesome. Careful, diligent, deliberate, and professional. Highly recommend. My son had to have surgery near his eye - extraordinarily precise and gentle work with almost no bruising!!

Dr. Lederman and her team have saved my vision and quality of life. I was injured due to being hit in the eye and immediately experienced symptoms of double vision. I couldn’t read, drive or walk a straight line. After a long journey of ophthalmologists I was referred to Dr. Lederman and her practice 2 times. Over the course of months and I realized surgery was my only option. I met doctor Lederman, expressed my fear of surgery and she met me with validation and confidence. She thoroughly and thoughtfully explained the strabismus surgical process to me and assured me I was in good hands. Her team was incredibly organized and accessible every step of the way. Immediately post surgery I was able to see a single image in the recovery room, something I was unable to for almost a year. I am so grateful to Dr. Lederman and her team for their diligence, kindness and expertise. I would highly recommend this caring practice.

I recently had surgery for Left Fourth Nerve Palsy and it was the greatest decision I have made, as cliché as it sounds, this was life changing. My neck pain is completely gone, I no longer have blurred or double vision. I can drive at night with much more confidence. I also regained my 3D Vision, which I didn’t even know I lost. The entire process was seamless. I am beyond grateful for Dr. Lederman. She is wonderful and I will forever recommend her as she is the definition of professional!

My daughters have been seeing Dr Lederman for almost a decade. She is one of the most knowledgeable and caring doctors I have ever met. She improved my daughters vision 200% and I am so fortunate to have found her when I did (my daughter was 2 years old then). She is now monitoring my infant son and it’s amazing what she can learn about him at such a young age. I have never has any issues with billing, etc. I cannot recommend this practice enough. The girls in the front are so friendly.

Both Dr Ledermans are professional, and my daughters had thorough exams. Dr. M Lederman is particularly wonderful! However, the front desk woman was so unfriendly that it was shocking. She spoke in one syllable words and did not even glance in our direction while speaking to us. This continued as my daughter was brought to back to begin the exam. The nurse/assistant to Dr Lederman was also very unfriendly and spoke shortly and never made eye contact. It was very uncomfortable.

Dr. Carolyn Lederman is amazing! Not only is she a fabulous diagnostician but she took the time to listen to my concerns and has extreme patience with my son who has special needs. Under her care, my son feels safe and her recommended treatments were spot on! Now after years of patching and glasses, he no longer needs to patch and his vision has even improved! Absolutely recommend her without hesitation! Fabulous!

Dr. Lederman began treating my daughter for poor vision in one eye and for Strabismus (lazy eye drifting to one side) when she was 3. She is a fabulous doctor. She corrected her vision from 20/400 to 20/40! She also ultimately performed minor eye surgery to correct the Strabismus and was completely successful - her eyes now track perfectly and we couldn't be happier with the experience we had with this doctor. Dr. Lederman's office staff is also wonderful and very efficient.

I've been taking my kids to Dr. Lederman since my oldest was about 3. She's great; she takes what she is doing seriously, she is thorough, and she is patient (a very important thing when working with kids). She also does a great job explaining her diagnoses and findings and making plain and simple recommendations that non-medical professionals can understand and act on.

Dr. Carolyn Lederman came highly recommended by our eye doctor and pediatrician. Seeing how I've been a person whose worn glasses my whole life and seeing multiple doctors I've finally found the best Opthamology group around for the care of my child, simply the best! The combination of father and daughter in their practice makes you feel like you're family! Dr. Carolyn Lederman is great with kids, compassionate, always happy to go over any questions we have and our daughter absolutely loves her!

My former preemie has been seeing Dr Lederman for years. We have always had good experience, the team is organized, doctor has patience with my son (he himself loves going there). Taking little ones to specialist like this requires a teamwork between Doctor and parents as well, and I feel that the doctor always works with me to meet my son's needs. Dr Lederman came highly recommended to me for my son who has ROP and we have been very happy.

Dr Lederman is an excellent ophthalmologist for children of all ages, into teenage years. She was able to diagnose an easily treatable condition which other doctors could not find the cause of. My high school aged daughter has been seeing her since she was very young and I recently referred a friend who has a toddler and had the same positive experience we have had. Dr Lederman is caring, thorough, a great communicator and I trust her.

Dr. Lederman was is an intelligent, caring, and patient Doctor. She was able to diagnose what was wrong with our newborn baby and quickly scheduled her for surgery to correct the situation. She did a fabulous job caring for our daughter and taking the time to speak with us. We highly recommend her. We are grateful for all she did for our 2 week old daughter.
