Really an amazing experience. As a physician, it is tough to exceed my expectations and Dr. Golden's office did so. Very courteous and knowledgeable staff. Dr. Golden listened to my complaints (which is a rarity in medicine) and provided me with options to best treat my condition. I recommend him highly.
Very good staff
Dr. Golden and his staff were very nice and I would go back, especially based on the excellent treatment I received. Although I did find a couple of pairs of eyeglasses that I liked, the selection of the eyeglasses were a bit , limited, expensive, dated and less than desirable.
Staff was professional and thorough. Dr. Golden took his time to explain everyhting, which I appreciated.
I was very impressed with Dr. Golden. The staff was very nice. They explained everything as we went along.I think Nate is great. He makes you feel at ease.
First thing I noticed when Dr. Golden came in was that his fly was down...extremely awkward and uncomfortable. Dr. Golden did not really explain the procedures and tests he was doing; rather, he just jumped right into everything without explaining me what the tests were for and why he was doing them. He seemed a little bit out of it - I couldn't quite put my finger on why he seemed that way, but something about him gave me the feeling that he wasn't completely present. He was also older than I anticipated, so maybe his age is a factor in the way he does things.
I was halfway through my appointment before the schedule appointment start time. Very swift and competent appointment
Visit and everything is good. But they haven't given me a receipt. And they dont pick up calls. I had to go back all the way to their office to ask for a receipt and they didnt give a receipt to hand. He said that he would email me the next day
It was a good visit. Friendly staff.
Very pleased with my five-year-old's routine eye exam--all around. Thank You!
Everything was great. I will definitely go back.
His assistant seemed new, like she was still in training. Dr. Golden seemed like he was tired.
Dr. Golden seems to be an accomplished ophthalmologist, but the way he interacted with me in the appointment was extremely disappointing. He did not introduce himself or shake my hand when he came in--simply came up to me without a word and did a few tests. He barely explained the issue he found with my eyes was caused, and it felt as though he was pushing me to get lasik surgery done because he talked to me about how contacts can cause you to go blind and other "scare tactics." Overall, the way Dr. Golden communicated with me was unprofessional and simply unhelpful. There are other skilled professionals I've gone to who put much more effort into ensuring their patients feel welcomed and understand every aspect of their situation.
It was a great pleasure to visit with Mark Golden MD.... Very Pleasant Staff's That They Have, That Care Dearly For There Patients.
It Was Excellent Services There I Got Seen Right Away The Staffs Is Very Polite And They Care For There Patients!!!
I Had A Appointment at 9a.m. I Arrive A Quart Before My Appointment times and Staffs Was There Ready To work Beautiful Smiles Upon There Faces.
It was the greater eye clinic that i have ever been to the building that it located in is very security and it very clean and it is in a nice area to go to... I felt very safe there.
Great experience.
I really liked the doctor, however, I felt that the experience coming in was a little uncomfortable. There was no one at the front desk when I walked in and I was really confused if I was in the right place. The person who came out just said hello and I felt called to ask where do I go for an appointment? I wanted to feel more heard and seen as a patient rather than a prospective customer, which was the front environment felt like.
Worst receptionist ever Money seeking they proscribed treatment not covered by insurance and they know that Although there are a lot of alternative
Every thing about my visit was excellent. I mentioned to my mom that this was the best ophthalmology visit that I ever had. I would recommend to anyone.
The Doctor himself is ok but lack on conversation with me. He did not explain the exams and which part would be about . All the time talked with his assistant. The reception is very hard sale their stuff. The price is much higher than other place. The feeling of been pushed to buy stuff is not right.
Got me in early and helped me out right away. Very nice staff and offices. Highly recommend.
The doctor was thorough and Kind The team was friendly and very helpful. I have an implant and I have been to Opthomologists all my life and this is my best experience.
This was a pleasurable unique experience. Atmosphere was peaceful, exam professional, staff courteous. Service overall was excellent.
Genius
I would recommend Dr. Golden to everybody! Him and his staff were extremely helpful.
Very competent, and professional. Very kind.
Very friendly and professional staff. I would definitely recommend to friends and family.
Dr. Goldman and his entire staff were wonderful. Helpful in every way. What an amazing office of professionals!
He's great and quick.
Dr. Golden and his staff were very friendly, prompt and helped me with my first eye exam in almost 10 years.
Wonderful place. Felt comfortable and relaxed there. Really nice office too.
Nice Dr and office staff. Quick, easy exam visit.
Quickest appointment ever! I had a great experience all around, will definitely go back.
Easy and quick visit!
I arrived to my appointment sooner and was able to be seen quickly. The guy at the front desk was very nice and professional. The doctor was pleasant, old school. Talked slowly so you can understand what he was doing. His assistant was very nice as well. Nice office, clean, relaxing music. They offer a discount on parking, bring your ticket.
It was quick. I went in for a visual field test. Dr. Golden took 5 seconds to look at my report before he told me everything was good. The fact that he didn't look at any of the images very closely makes me want to get a second opinion.
The doctor had a great bedside manner, totally honest, explained everything well and made hood suggestions. I was afraid I'd get a sales pitch but Lasik was a recommendation only as a safer alternative to wearing my contacts 24/7. Arnold was great too, very kind. Everyone was totally competent and I was relieved they found a simple solution to my eye pain.
I had a great experience with this eye doctor. I was seen immediately, and the entire office staff was friendly and professional. I would highly recommend. Easy to get to also.
