Verified patient
Felt a bit rushed with the doctor and was dismissive of my reported symptoms, which didn’t sit well. Would not come back to this office. My other eye doctor at a different office was not available so had no choice.
Very thorough, great experience.

Dr. Borukhov was wonderful As stated in almost every other review, he gave a comprehensive explanation about everything going on with the eyes.
Verified patient
It was an awesome visit. He is wonderful to talk to. Very patient, and energetic! With regards to the expenses, I find this place a bit too expensive if you want to get glasses, etc. Good place to visit for casual checkups

Verified patient
Great visit. Highly recommend Dr. Borukhov.
Verified patient
Reception was prompt and prescreening with the nurse was quick. Dr. Borukhov saw me directly after and listened closely as I described the issues of concern. Afterwards, he was very thorough in explaining his diagnosis based on both on my anecdotal explanation and the scans taken of my eyes. I also appreciate how he recommended a further dilation of the pupils to be certain the prescription considered was correct and not in need of further calibration. I did not feel hurried or pressured to execute the prescription in their shop, although they do provide glasses in house. Overall, a positive experience.
I was promptly seen after filling out new patient forms and the front desk was extremely knowledgeable and upfront about coverage. Dr. B was very approachable and explained what he was checking for and testing. It made the whole experience quick and efficient.
Although there was some wait time, the doctor was thorough in the eye exam. He was very patient during the checkup and suggested good contact lenses.
What I really valued was that he took the time to explain things to me — for example, walking me through what he was looking for in the images they took of my eye.
Verified patient
He was awesome! I highly recommend
Verified patient
Very to-the-point and explained everything so I understood clearly. Also looks out for patients’ best interests (gave me a lower prescription than previous doctors, which will reduce my eye strain). Recommended!
Verified patient
I have a very complex contact lens fitting (severe near-sightedness, age related macular degeneration, astigmatism), and 3 prior doctors were unable to properly fit me for contact lenses that were suitable for reading and driving. Dr. Burukhov spent almost an hour with me going through my history, prior issues, objectives, and spent a lot of time fine tuning / testing until we got exactly the right lens to maximize my ability for reading and distance. A wonderful caring doctor who asks all the right questions and works really hard to get the best results for the patient.
Verified patient
Dr Greg was very nice and friendly. I went to get my contact prescription updated and it took about an hour. Gave me lots of solution and educated me about eye health
Verified patient
Dr. Borukhov was so great. The best eye doctor I've ever been to. He obviously loves his work and was so detailed and thorough in explaining things. He diagnosed an issue that I'd been struggling with for a while. I even went to my primary care physician about it and she couldn't find anything wrong. Dr. Borukhov figured it out as soon as I told him my symptoms. I'll have no trouble keeping up with annual eye examines!
Verified patient
Dr. B was extremely patient in making sure I understood what my eye exam would consist of. He was thorough and made sure I felt satisfied with an accurate glasses and contact lens prescription.
When I first got there they said I was not on the appointment list even though I had booked through Zoc Doc and I had received a reminder. But they did slot me in right away.
Dr. B was very thorough and knowledgable. He assured me that the problems I was having with my eyes were nothing extreme and would go away with proper treatment, which they did. His bedside manner was also excellent; I felt very comfortable and at ease. I would highly recommend Dr. B. It's safe to say I have found myself a new eye doctor!
I really enjoyed my visit w/ Dr. Borukhov. He took the time to explain to me what was wrong and how to fix it. I would highly recommend him to my friends and family. He will definetely be seeing me again.
The doctor was great. He answered all my questions. I would highly recommend him to my friends and family. He was very helpful in teaching me how to insert and remove my contacts. Also how to clean my contact lenses the right way.
