I got a call from the office 15 mins before the appointment, letting me know they had to cancel because "there were no doctors in the office" that day. I understand sometimes things come up, but it was extremely rude and unprofessional to cancel 15 minutes before my appointment. Horrible! I hope no one comes to this office!

I got to the "doctors office" to discover it was a glasses store. That wasn't opened until 11am. My appointment was for 10:30.

Such a pleasant woman and experience! She gave me a diagnosis that my original optometrist didn't bring up, and I noticed my eye irritations decreasing after she prescribed me the proper medication. She is super friendly, amicable, and knowledgeable -- I'm very happy to have found her and totally trust her with my vision's health from now on.

Made an appointment with her for average eye exam to get contact prescription renewed but was seen by a new doctor at this office who seemed inexperienced and clumsy. People who did my exams had trouble operating their machines and spent over an hour fiddling with my eyes because of this, some exams had to be done multiple times, giving me quite the headache and eye pain. Once Dr. Wertheim looked at my eyes (for a second) for an issue the other doctor had seen, she just gave me extremely vague and ominous information about it and a referral to an opthamaologist. The plus side was there was no wait time and the lady at the desk was very efficient and friendly.

It was very hurried and I didnt actually fully understand how my vision changed. Once I left I realized I was not even aware of what and how my prescription changed.

She didn't really listen to me, messed up my prescription and had to go back and have my glasses entirely redone because she relied on machine measurements instead of manually checking. I don't plan on going back.

Through, excellent. Dr.W devoted about 1/2 hour to diagnosing an infection, prescribing medication - even calling my local pharmacy in real-time. I also received an impressively thorough eye exam. Good stuf, Zoc!
July 8, 2013

The doctor was nice and matter of fact, and she understood my situation (losing my insurance in a couple of months so just getting everything tested one last time) and suggested a quick procedure for my dry eyes that was covered by insurance. It took less than 5 minutes after the exam was done and my eyes feel better! If I needed glasses, I would go back! She also recommended a couple other things for my dry eyes that don't involve pricey prescriptions or battling the insurance company for coverage, which was considerate.

Very quick and friendly service. The doctor recommended a special for an eye condition I have. The office is very nice and conveniently located. The frame selection is on the high end side but I was not pressured to purchase there.
