If Doctor Wertheim shows up to your appointment you will be happy with your examination. However, I've scheduled 2 appointments with her over the last 16 months that she has not showed up for. There has never been a call to reschedule before traveling to the office. Be aware!

She was thorough and professional
September 13, 2017Daniel F.Verified patient
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!

Incredibly knowledgeable, recommended a new contact brand that I love. The staff at Ultimate Spectacle is so helpful and nice--great experience
January 18, 2017Rachel C.Verified patient
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.

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.

More than 1 year agoEvan G.Verified patient
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.
More than 1 year agoPita S.Verified patient
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.
July 15, 2016Bridget C.Verified patient
Awesome.
March 7, 2016Paul H.Verified patient
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.
February 19, 2016Beatrice C.Verified patient
I had a great visit. Also, the office is really nice, clean and very bright. The doctor was fantastic and quickly identified that my prescription was too high.

Professional, friendly, has great selection of frames to accompany your prescription glasses, and spends time getting to know the patient. I love being her patient!

Dr. Wertheim was wonderful. She and her staff were very attentive to my needs, and made getting an eye exam and finding new glasses a fun experience!
October 15, 2015Jayne S.Verified patient
Great visit, very quick and easy.
October 14, 2015Devin H.Verified patient
Very thorough. Provided treatment for my eye infection and suggested I pop back in to ensure all ok in a few days to check that it's clearing up properly ( she may have identified that I'm a hypochondriac :)
August 17, 2015Elaine B.Verified patient
fantastic care and service
More than 1 year agoAisha L.Verified patient
Alina was great. I had not visited the eye doctor in years, however, I knew it was long overdue and I needed glasses. She made me feel very comfortable throughout the process and has good taste!
June 10, 2015Jaclyn B.Verified patient
Professional, cool, laid back, will answer your questions, change your prescriptions and follow up. Always free to meet. Very chic store front. Always stylish frames and sunglasses available. A little pricey though.
