Nice office, capable and courteous staff, excellent doctor, valet parking inside building.
The wait seemed eternal. I worried about the expensive ticket I might have been getting while waiting FOREVER to be seen. Garage parking is around $20 (they don't validate) and therefore out of the question, so street parking is a must (and very difficult to find).
Basically the staff is polite, but there was much chaos in general. Staff members kept coming in the examining room asking questions of other staff members and disrupting MY time (which I waited a long time for), there were about 6 interruptions in all.
The doctor is pretty cool and everyone is nice, but I wish they wouldn't book so many people for the same appointment (we all waited together for the same appointment)...why not just call this what it is...a walk-in clinic where you sit and wait your turn. If only I spoke Russian, I would have had a conversation with the other 11 people waiting with me.

Dr Benjamin was great, the staff very excellent, the facility was very nice as well. Had a bit of trouble parking in that area, so give yourself some extra time. After my eye exam from his lovely and very professional assistant, I had to wait a bit before the Doctor came in, but other than that it was a very good experience.

Dr. Benjamin is great! He is friendly, knowledgeable, professional and thorough. He examined my eyes and laid out all my options before prescribing a treatment that he explained carefully to me and made sure I understood. I found him on ZocDoc without knowing anything about him, but like all of my recs from ZocDoc, he was great.
I really enjoyed the office and the personnel. The equipment is advanced and I felt very comfortable there. The doctor is really nice and staff very kind!
