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.

Every staff member who served me yesterday was very friendly and did their jobs well. I had to wait a reasonable length of time, much of which was due to filling out forms because I had not been in for over 8 years. Dr. Albrecht, as always, was cheerful, personable, and gave me very clear diagnostic information and answers to my questions. I was delighted with my experience, and I highly recommend Dr. Robert Albrecht and the Barrington Northwest Eye Center.

My appointment was at 2 pm. I’ve been sitting here for 25 minutes already. One guy just walked out after having been here for one hour! There’s 14 people I’m waiting room!!! Ridiculous!

I saw Dr. Albrecht for a routine eye exam. He is very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. Makes you feel very comfortable. He diagnosed that I had cataracts and recommended Dr. Dilman for the surgery. Everything went great. I can really see now. Would highly recommend Dr. Albrecht and Dr. Dilman and the whole staff at Northwest Eye Center.

Dr. Albrecht has been my ophthalmologist for over twenty years. As a 30 year diabetic he sees me twice a year to monitor my eyes. He is very pleasant and professional, and he makes you feel that he is truly vested in you as a person not just another patient.

Dr. A has excellent credentials and is very warm and personable. He's very knowledgeable and treated some of my older family friends with cataract problems and glaucoma. I have been getting glasses and contacts from this office for years. I currently wear Tory Burch eye glasses, as well as contacts, because I am near-sighted. Dr. A is not pretentious, and is easy to talk to. Highly recommend!

I saw Dr Albrecht for about 5 years. He treated me for glaucoma. Vision worsened steadily, more severely over past year. I asked if I should get glasses, He said, "If you want to." I did, had double vision when I put glasses on. He never told me I had severe cataracts. I finally got 2 other opinions, was told I had such severe cataracts I should even be driving. I had surgery in both eyes and stents put in for glaucoma. Now my vision is excellent and glaucoma is improved.
