November 23, 2021Gavin K.Verified patient
Great experience - great bedside manners and spent a lot of time with me on this initial appointment - never seemed rushed at all. Would definitely refer her to others (in fact, my wife was with me and booked an appointment with the doctor as a new patient as we were leaving her office - how's that for a referral!).
October 8, 2021Tom A.Verified patient
Immaculate office. The cleanliness was absolutely impeccable, which I appreciate. The staff were all courteous with excellent communication skills. Dr. Canter was compassionate and comprehensive in her explanation of all things medical. Helping me understand the process and potential outcomes as I navigate the new terrain of needing glasses during my first visit to an ophthalmologist. Highly recommend!

Very friendly and professional. Dr. Center explained what she was doing and asked if I had any questions. I will be seeing her again in 6 months.
More than 1 year agoSusan H.Verified patient
I’ve had issues in the past with doctors not really explaining what they’re doing or what their concerns are. Dr. Canter was so helpful, conscientious and empathetic. Her bedside manner is top-notch! I rarely hear “we should have answers for you very soon.” And that put me at ease. The staff there are all kind and respectful. Over-all great experience for a first time eye appointment. I have another appointment for tomorrow morning for more tests and I’m not dreading it like most appointments. I’ve already recommended her to my friends! If you’re looking for a sign that this is the right doctor or switch, this is it!
January 22, 2018Etana C.Verified patient
Dr. Canter was very thorough and had excellent bedside manner. I’ve never had an eye checkup before so she walked me through everything and never made me feel rushed. I’m very happy with with my experience and will definitely continue to see her!
October 16, 2017Maria S.Verified patient
Very personable and professional.
June 14, 2017Maryjane B.Verified patient
Dr. Canter was a fantastic doctor. I had never had an eye exam before, and she walked me through each step. I am not from the area, so it is always a bit scary to go to a doctor without recommendations from family and friends, but this was such a great experience! She was kind and really made an effort to get to know me, even though she was very busy. I will definitely be going back and will recommend her to others!!
May 31, 2017Chloe Q.Verified patient
Awesome visit.
July 14, 2016Howard Y.Verified patient
Dr. Canter is a wonderful doctor and I am so glad I found her. She makes you feel very comfortable and discusses the problem thoroughly without any rush. Loved her for myself and then even took my children to her. She made them feel equally comfortable and even went out of way to teach them few things about eye parts. Her receptionist in front office, Jackie, is equally nice and very pleasant to talk. Auntie I have called her, she has responded with answers from Doctor. I will continue to be with her and definitely recommend her to everyone.

I was pleasantly surprised how organized & professional the staff were at Dr. Canter's office. Everyone was extremely friendly.
Dr. Canter was warm, & seemed genuinely interested in my eye health. We did all kinds of tests, which seemed super thorough, so that was impressive, since no previous Dr. has ever done those before.
Dr. Canter was not in a hurry, & took interest to answer all of my questions/concerns-really nice lady.
Kendall who fitted my new glasses was so helpful-she took her time w/me to try on at least 10 pairs, until we found the perfect pair. I can't wait for my new glasses!

Knowledgable friendly doctor
October 22, 2014Initials hidden
I thought the visit was great and I liked her a lot. I had to wait 65 minutes to see her though. There was a patient without an appointment who was seen ahead of me while I waited, which I don't think was right. I got there early, filled out my paperwork, and was still early to the appointment time. I was very surprised that I was made to wait more than an hour which was not a good impression for me as a first time patient.
