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. Kalin is trusted , focused and skilled.
The whole team was very professional and well organized.

Absolutely Outstanding!
Dr. Kalin has been my eye doctor for many years. He has always been very thorough, honest, showing his concern for any problems that came up. When I moved from Delaware to Maryland I tried another eye doctor closer to home for several visits. Nothing to compare with my previous years with Dr. Kalin! So returning to his practice is the best move for me!Thank you Dr. Kalin so very much for my many years of care!

Sorry to see him go
I have been going to Kalin’s office since his Father owned the practice. I will be sorry to see Dr. Neal Kalin leave. He’s a straightforward doctor Who tells you what you need to know at all times. I will be making my appointments once a year to see him Only when he moves his practice to one day a week . His practice will definitely be missed

Very disappointed that he sold the practice and the office staff changed. Dr Kalin was very friendly but the new office staff are not very warm and welcoming employees They didn’t even introduce themselves to me never made eye contact. I did not feel very welcome.

No warning of refraction or charge
Same with another patient. You used to warn. Makes whole practice questionable. 98$ a lot on fixed income.

Expert in Field and Extremely Personable
Dr. Kalin immediately put me at ease, explained the entire test process and was obviously very confident in his prognosis. Dr Kalin and his staff were very helpful and welcoming, and my results based on his recommendation of my condition were noticeable within hours of the visit. Dr. Kalin's office is convenient to the tristate region. The facility was clean and comfortable.

Excellent ophthalmologist
Dr. Kalin's team is very skilled in using all of the various tests, so I know that my eyes were well examined. And when I saw Dr. Kalin himself, he kindly explained all of the images on his computer screen. He also performed some of the tests again, himself. He is an outstanding doctor.
