Dr. Maguen is the nicest guy. I parked on 3rd without realizing it was a tow away zone at 4pm. In the middle of my exam when my cell phone went off, he asked me if I had to get the phone. I said "No it's my 3:53 warning that I have to move my car before I get towed." He told me to take my time moving my car and saw me as soon as I came back. The exam was very extensive since I was negative 12 before LASIK.

Dr. Barak is really easy to learn from. Some doctors can have a difficult time explaining the details. This is certainly not the case with Dr. Barak, he made my first eye prescription visit pleasant; with an understanding of what to expect in regards to my vision in the future.

Dr. Maguen was very nice and didn't waste any time. Got my problem resolved quickly. I would recommend him to others. The front desk staff though, was not very nice or welcoming... sort of rude.

Explained my problem so I could understand it. Gave me the do's and don'ts, offering his or the office service if an emergency came up in the two weeks before I see him for a follow-up. So pleasant. Just sorry I did not come to him first.Put my fears to rest. Thank you Dr. Maguen!

He was a real sweetheart and down to earth! Gave good advice and I saw him speaking Spanish, so that's a plus for those who don't speak English.
April 25, 2012Michelle M.Verified patient
Very professional & shows concern for patient. He is able to impart to his patient the most impotant points during his evaluation & makes recommendations as needed. He is easy to talk to and a good listener.
