Dr Kushner was very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail. Only thins is his office does not provide sample lenses. I wear daily and was interested in changing my contacts into new brand and I was only offered 1 pair. After complaining and asking for so long with the front desk girl I was offered 5 day trial sample and found out that the lenses were not good for me. I would happily work with the doctor but I think pushing contact lenses without at least few days of trial is ridiculous.

Really great at explaining test results. Generally a very pleasant visit despite slight wait when I arrived.
