Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. I got there early and they took me in 15 minutes before the time of my appointment. I was in and out of there in about 30 minutes. Kate was wonderful and Dr. Robert was very knowledgeable. I was very worried about my condition but was put at ease quickly and the treatment has already started working in less than 1 day.

My appointment started earlier than scheduled (!) and proceeded very smoothly and efficiently. Dr. Roberts and his technician were extremely thorough, professional and pleasant. As a new patient to the Eye Institute, I had an outstanding experience.

Just the worst office ever. They do a prescription exam when you come in for an eye issue. Was not needed, we have a Dr. for that. They get to upcharge you for that. Slimy! Then they do not offer any solution to your problem, $100 bucks wasted. They try to pass you off on another Dr. When you ask for a solution, they say you need to come back in a week later to "re-evaluate". Never again and we will tell everyone over every means possible about this.

Dr. Roberts was very professional and knew what he was doing. I was a little skeptical at first as I had been a patient of Dr. Diakonis and really liked him, but my visit went well and I was satisfied with the exam.
