“Dr. Glazier is extremely knowledgeable and is able to communicate in a layman’s language to get the message across. He used a few technical terms and then explained them leading to my enhanced understanding . He also reinforced how the quality of vision would be with and without glasses and things to expect with age, a clear prognosis. He is friendly and easy to talk to. He has a firm handshake, which is very rare these days. I would strongly recommend him.”

The office was great. Very short wait time and the staff was aware of the appointment made over ZocDoc. I look forward to going back and picking up my glasses as well as future visits.
