The Dr. led me to believe my insurance would pay for the laser services and there would be no need for medications that could react with my heart medications. When I got to the office I was told it would cost me considerable out of pocket for each eye and there would be surgery for the eye that had not already had a cataract removed and lens replacement. They talked down to me because of my age as if I was senile and incompetent. They insisted I have a guardian with a living will and Power of attorney. I had to have a Medical Passport and because of Covid 19 restrictions my daughter couldn't be in the room with me but had to wait in the waiting room for up to 4 hours. This is unacceptible. I was stunned. My daughter suggested I get another opinion. No. I will not recommend AZ Doctors. I won't have anything more to do with them.

I went for tearing right eye and pinching and after the physical check the doctor found that the eye is dry because it not closing properly, he also noticed that my smile on the right side is different. He told me this might be because of a stroke and I have to do a MRI within 24 hours and I did. Thank God it wasn’t a stroke but it was a disease called Bell’s palsy which has the same symptoms as the stroke and in a lot of cases can cause paralysation in on side of the face. Dr. Benjamin Heller Saved me from horrible illness with his knowledge and experience. Thanks a lot I really appreciate you!
Verified patient
The office had no idea Zocdoc scheduled me, they did not have the documents I filled out online and I had 4 pages to fill out before appt. Staff was nice but clueless about Zocdoc
Verified patient
I ended up visiting with Dr. Farnsworth. My Left eye history is a bit complicated. Dr. Farnswoth stepped in immediately and handled the situation with grace and ease. I felt VERY well attended to having a very thurough exam with all of my questions anwered. The office staff was friendly and courteous. The waiting area, exam room and rest room were all immaculate. All in all, a great experience! I highly reccomend.

good place
Verified patient
While I would go back to see this doctor, I did have to wait over an hour to see him. I overheard him in the next room, while I was waiting, showing boxing videos to the staff for over 25 minutes. Not ok.
My dad and brother saw him in November. He was very nice and the office staff was super. My mom made an appointment while we were there and will be going for her annual visit tomorrow!
Verified patient
Dr. Heller, clear and very efficient. All office staff friendly and helpful. Made up for the almost hour wait time but understood, at probably the best exam rate in Phoenix.
Verified patient
They over-scheduled. I showed up 15 minutes early as recommended and I ended up waiting over an hour. They are usually not this behind.
Verified patient
Dr Heller and his staff were very caring and professional. He did a thorough exam and talked about treatment options and follow up. I appreciate how kind everyone was and they went out to their way to make my wife and I feel welcome.
Verified patient
Everyone very caring. Knowledgeable and very efficient. Dr. Ben Heller went out of his way to take care of me & make sure I was billed correctly and gave me good information concerning my condition.
Verified patient
Really long wait in a very unpleasant establishment - when the doctor finally came in he stayed for a quick minute at most and did not really listen to my concerns, was pretty dismissive - perhaps they over schedule themselves
Excellent doctor and staff I highly recommend
Verified patient
I was very pleased with Dr. Benjamin Heller’s thoroughness and patience. I have some special vision problems and he took the time needed to assure the correct prescription for my lenses.
Verified patient
The nurse who took me back into the room frequently left me alone to gossip in the hallway with the other staff. I had a stye/abscess on my lower eye lid and the doctor told me it would probably go away, and if not to come back. If I were to come back he would treat it then (2 weeks recommended wait time). Not very impressed with the staff or management. Would not return or recommend.
Verified patient
Definitely will be going to him from now on!! He answered every question I had. He was straight forward with everything!! A+
I had to wait for 45 min after my appointment time to see the doctor, Once I was inside the clinic they had a mistake about why I was there, once that was figured out, Dr.Heller himself was really nice, professional with good explanation of the situation
I liked Dr. Heller but their office staff/manager leave a lot to be desired. I was double billed by this office, and though I provided plenty of documentation, it took more then 4 months to get this resolved. Disappointing.
Verified patient
All staff were friendly, helpful & pleasant. Nice office space, great location. Wait was long but I did make a last minute appointment so it was not an inconvenience to me. They have optometrist on site, so I’ll be switching. I made appointment for yearly checkup with Dr Ben. Was a good experience
Verified patient
Dr. Ben was very professional as well as his staff. I arrived early for my appointment and they were able to see me before my scheduled time. He diagnosed the pain in my eye very well and gave me a prescription which seems to have done the trick.
Verified patient
Very kind and helpful
Dr. Ben Heller was a very kind individual. He made an effort at engaging in my interests so that there wasn't awkward silence in the room while completing the exam. I will go to Dr. Ben Heller again when I need to update my prescription.
