The hour wait time was way too long. But, all the staff was all very pleasant and knowledgeable. Dr. Scimeca seemed to know what he was talking about.
The doctors were knowledgable and were able to diagnose previous problems that I was never made aware of, very happy to have met them.

I didn't have to wait long and the appointment went smoothly.
The hour wait time was way too long. But, all the staff was all very pleasant and knowledgeable. Dr. Scimeca seemed to know what he was talking about.
The actual care I received was great, but I really didn't like how long I had to wait. My appointment was at 9:45. I arrived a few minutes early, and it was 30 minutes before I was even acknowledged and given new patient paperwork to fill out. I know things get backed up, but in my opinion, this was too long, especially since the eyedrops weren't given to me until an hour after I arrived. It interferred with work later that day, something I didn't plan on, since my initial appointment was 9:45, not 10:45.
To give him some credit, it was the day before a holiday, so the place was packed, BUT, an office needs to time manage better than this. I waited almost a whole hour, and then I was waiting in a side room for 10 minutes here, 15 minutes there. I left 2 hours and 15 minutes after I got there. He was nice, but quick. Bad first impression. Probably won't go back.

Verified patient
Dr. Scimeca gave a great examination. He is a very good doctor. He took extra time with me when a test showed something abnormal. When sitting in his waiting room, I couldn't help but notice how professional and patient his staff are to elderly patients.
