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.
I have known Dr Handell for over 20 years. There is no doctor that I trust more than her. I have many issues with my eyesight and I have always walked out of the office being able to see better than I did when I walked in. My eye exam is always done with the utmost professionalism and my eyeglasses are fitted to perfection. I hope to be going to Dr Handell for another 20 years!!!!!!

Dr. Handell is an amazing doctor who cares greatly about her patients. She spends time with her patients and I never feel rushed. She diagnosed a problem that I had with my cornea and treated me with the proper medicine. She then refit me with contact lenses in order to prevent any future recurrence. I have been seeing her for the past 5 years and would not go to another eye doctor.

I know Dr. Handell for approximately 22 years. As a survivor of a stroke more than 20 years ago, I need professionals to be very patient with me because I cannot necessarily read, write or understand quickly. Dr. Handell was, and is, wonderful with me in that she goes over things slowly with me until I understand what is going on. I have and will continue to follow her no matter where she practices. She is very caring and I totally trust her skills.

I have been Dr. Handell's patient for nearly 25 years and have followed her to wherever she has practiced over the course of those years. Dr. Handell has great patience with me as I am a designer and am very particular about my vision using glasses and contacts. I have recommended Dr. Handell to several of my family and friends and they, too, have had excellent care from her.

My experience with Dr. Handell was amazing. I am a hard to fit contact lense patient with a lot of astigmatism. Dr. Handell was the only doctor I've ever seen that was able to fit me successfully. I have seen at least three other doctors for this problem. Dr. Handell and her staff were very patient and I had an amazing experience at her practice, Schoenbard vision. I highly recommend Dr. Handell. She is an amazing eye doctor!

My family has been using Dr. Handell at Schoenbart vision care for 10 years. She has a knowledge set like no other Doctor that I know. She spends a lot of time making sure we understand her treatment plan. She is a patient and caring doctor and trust her implicitly with our eyecare needs. We have referred many people to Dr. Handell and will continue to do so. We highly recommend this Doctor.

At all costs you should avoid this office and any offices where Dr Handell works in. This office needs new management at the front desk (Joanne) and doctors that treat their patients well.
Unfortunately my wife and I were paired with this office by our vision coverage. As a physician myself, I am constantly seeking to do what's right for my patients, by providing reassurance when difficulties arise, being honest when I've made an error, or even apologizing on my staff's behalf if my patient fe
