Verified patient
Great doctor and office! Everything was prompt and simple. Felt like doctor explained everything in just the right level of detail. Rest of the staff was very nice and welcoming too!
I wasn’t expecting to purchase glasses after my exam (thorough and kind doctor) there but they had such an amazing collection and I’m getting so many compliments to my new glasses already thanks to help of everyone there. Did I tell you they got my prescription in my new glasses within ten minutes? The man who works the front and does beginning exams was amazing and is so talented at what he does. It is an important soft skill while helping someone find glasses explaining why a pair works or doesn’t w your face in a soft, encouraging way. Such a nice experience. Happy I found them to be all things eyes for me.
Verified patient
Their customer service was awesome. I would highly recommend family and friends to visit this location; And I’m definitely coming back!

Everyone in the office was super friendly and personable.

Can't say enough good things about my first experience with Dr Zakheim! After finding his office on Zocdoc, I pleased to see how many wonderful reviews he had when I looked him up online.

They have a great selection of frames and their cleanliness is next level. I look forward to my next appointment!

The office staff and the doctor were exceptional. Funny, spirited, lots of belly laughs before and during my exam. The doctor is knowledgeable, personable and warm. I felt like I had made a batch of new friends when i left. I will definitely be back for any of my eye care needs. Highly recommended!
Verified patient
Great staff. My only complaint was that they made me fill out paperwork when I had already done it online. Other than that Dr. Limits was great.
Dr. Zaks is always great. Just felt slow waiting around for him and he was stopping and going throughout the appointment. There are a lot of great things but today there was also a lot of bad. May give it another shot before I might change to another eye doctor
