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.

Cataract Surgery with a side of Astingmatism
I was having difficulty seeing clearly, even wearing glasses. A friend recommended Dr. Bunin and I was a little hesitant at first, because I just figured I’d need new lens. After the first visit, I realized it would be more involved than that, Cataracts made their presence known. Long story, short, I had my Multifocal Implants and I see more clearly, than I have since 6th Grade. Now, when my husband says to look at something, I can pick it right out. Thank you Dr. Bunin for giving me my life back, that I can appreciate all the things, I couldn’t see before.

Cataract Surgery and Glacoma
My family physician referred me to Dr. Bunin due to having cataracts in both of my eyes. She discussed all my options and explained what to expect. My surgery went well and I can see so clearly. Dr. Bunin and her staff are professional, pleasant and kind and always make me feel comfortable and at ease.

Eye lid correction surgeries
July 2024 Dr. Bunin performed a Ptosis surgery on both of my eyes and 2 weeks later a Blepharoplasty surgery with a Browplexy. The staff in the office are terrific. Explained everything in detail. I was not surprised at any step of the procedures. My outcome for my sight is outstanding!! I had no idea that I looked up all of the time to be able to see and that my peripheral vision was gone. Not having peripheral vision in itself is dangerous. You need that to drive, etc. After the Ptosis surgery, both eyes were open and I could actually now see the sky without looking up. I had a lot of folds on my eye lids. At night, I my eyes used to be so tired as the muscle got weaker and the folds became more of a hood over each eye. After the second procedure, where they removed the part that makes the extra eye folds and hooding over each eye, I could see more clearly. I did not realize that I also was looking at my lower and upper eye lashes every waking moment. Dr. Bunin corrected that and now

Proactive and detail oriented
I have been seeing Dr. Bunin for several years. Early on, it was for a persistently blocked tear duct and I needed a good ocular surgeon to unblock it. With yearly exams, she caught glaucoma early (before it's treatable, and now to stay on top of it, exams more often) and most recently, did cataract surgeries on both eyes. I see better now than I ever have! She - and by extension her team - is organized and efficient. She is a proficient, highly skilled doctor. She has developed specific protocols based on her experience and, in my experience, when you follow them, you get good results. I find her and her team to be friendly and easy to deal with. They answer questions and provide detailed information on procedures. The staff and medical students are knowledgeable and helpful.

The results of my surgery exceeded my expectations
Dr. Bunin performed an upper blepharoplasty on my eyes. The results were transformational. As I walked out of the hospital, I could tell that my field of vision had dramatically improved. 2 months post-surgery, and I am healing well. Dr. Bunin's staff are friendly and professional. I felt prepared for my surgery and supported in my post-surgery care.

I would highly recommend Dr. Lisa Bunin and her staff for treating your eyes. She has taken good care of me for over 25 years. She recently did cataract surgery, and I had no issues. I credit her with taking care of my eyes BEFORE there is an issue.

I took my mother to see Dr. Bunin for her annual check up. Dr. Bunin and her staff are very kind and thorough with their older patients. My mother is very happy to find an opthomalogist with whom she is comfortable. Everyone takes the extra step to ensure their patients have a very positive experience.

Best care for my eyes.
I was a prior patient of Dr. Lisa S. Bunin a number of years ago and tried another eye care practice for a few years before returning to Dr. Bunin. Early in 2022 she performed cataract eye surgery on me. Dr. Bunin removed my cataract lenses and replaced them with multifocal intraocular lenses. She also corrected my eyes for astigmatism. I am very pleased with the results of the surgery and became very impressed with the confidence she has in her skills, her professionalism, and the meticulous attention she pays to details. I trust Dr. Bunin with my eyes! She runs her office on those same values. I found her staff to be very professional and caring. Questions are answered and patients are given as much time as they need for their appointment. You are not just another patient in her office, you are her patient. Thank you Dr. Bunin and staff.

I have been a patient of Dr. Bunin's for many years and was referred to her practice by my parents. She treated both of them while they were living and they were always pleased with her care. I have found Dr. Bunin to be an excellent doctor. She and her staff provide quality care you can trust. For several years she has treated my dry eyes which greatly improved how my eyes felt, especially since I wore RGP contact lenses. Recently Dr. Bunin performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes. The results are amazing! The entire process and all options were clearly explained to me and with Dr. Bunin's expert guidance I chose IOLs that now allow me to see without glasses (which I had been wearing since grade school). I recommend Dr. Bunin to anyone who wants an excellent doctor and a doctor who really cares about her patients.

A very satisfied patient! – Jan 12, 2022
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Bunin?
I had been having problems for a few years now with my eyes constantly feeling tired and droopy. Even though I felt great physically and my overall health is great, my eyes told a different story. My previous eye doctor just chalked it up to aging and I believed her. Finally, I got tired of looking tired all the time and decided to seek out guidance from Dr. Bunin, whose reputation is top-notch in the Lehigh Valley. I learned that this was not just an aging issue nor just a cosmetic issue, but that the muscles below my eyes were not functioning properly. Dr. Bunin recommended lower lid surgery to fix the muscles, remove excess skin, and smooth the under-eye area. My eyes now look FANTASTIC and they just feel stronger, ready to take me into the coming decades of my life! If you're unhappy with how your eyes look and feel, then I highly recommend you see Dr. Bunin and learn what she can do for you.

From the front desk to the check out and everything in between I give 5 stars for their professionalism. I also want to add that her staff is a constant with Little change.

Dr. Bunin was recommended to me by my PCP. She explained to me how my cataracts were progressing and the options available. After extensive testing, I made my decision. Throughout the process, Dr. Bunin and her staff were very supportive. Each surgery was done with unbelievable success. My vision is the best ever. The discomfort was minimal to none. I am back to doing the things I love (crafts, puzzles, and reading). I have my life back. I never realized how much I had started to depend on others, due to the vision loss. Now I am able to go and do whatever I like when I like. Thanks to the knowledge and expertise of Dr. Bunin and her staff
