She was wonderful, would definitely see her again if i need an eye doctor again. And the office was super quick.

All office staff were professional and helpful. The person who conducted the initial exam and refraction had an excellent 'bedside manner' as did Dr. Vilar. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

I saw a Dr. Geist who was incredibly rude and a know it all ass. I didn't even get a proper eye exam. I'm never going back.
She was wonderful, would definitely see her again if i need an eye doctor again. And the office was super quick.
Verified patient
Routine follow up. Always feel well cared for. Thorough exam. Plenty of time with the doctor.
Had to come back because assistant put in wrong drops. A bit disorganized.
Verified patient
All office staff were professional and helpful. The person who conducted the initial exam and refraction had an excellent 'bedside manner' as did Dr. Vilar. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
Verified patient
She was able to eliminate some potential causes for my complaint and referred us to another physician whose practice she feels can more definitively address the problem.
Dr. Vilar was more thorough than any other ophthalmologist I’ve ever very had. She was also very personable. And she was diligent - was happy to work through a complicated vision prescription.
Verified patient
Excellent all around experience! Dr. Vilar was very kind, caring, and patient. The visit was efficient but everyone in the office was friendly and took their time to assure you felt welcome and understood.
Verified patient
Very friendly and professional.
Verified patient
I very much like this clinical practice, the staff works together well. The system is that you are assessed by a ophthalmology assistant, then seen by a general ophthalmologist (perhaps a fellow), then Dr. Vilar. Each visit is relatively brief, but assessments and notes are taken and turned over. I found that they listened well and noted what I said, and answered questions as we went along. I recommend this practice.
