“I had an eye emergency and was delighted to be able to find a doctor and make an appointment for the next day online. My only surprise is that AI led me to believe Medicare would be accepted and it wasn't. ”

Gerald J.March 30, 2026

“Dr. Simkin was very kind. He immediately understood our concern which caused us to seek his medical advice. Our condition was not clearing up after we went to an Emergency Clinic a few days before. He explained what has happened and why it was taking a while to clear up. He booked a follow-up appointment to make sure the condition was improving. We were very impressed.”

I really enjoyed my time at this appointment. I know, it's medical — in this case, the eye doctor. You can't always look forward to being treated well at medical appointments. You know that. But, everything went very well in this office. It was my first time seeing Dr. Simkin. He was great and so was the staff. I have no complaints at all. If you need an eye exam or new glasses, and you live nearby, I highly recommend Dr. Simkin.
