Top notch as always. I have been seeing Dr Schafran for years, when I lived close by and when I didn’t. He is bright, friendly, and fast but not rushed. He really knows what he is doing and has an excellent, friendly staff who were very patient with me when picking out glasses. I always feel comfortable in his hands for my annual eye exam, and have referred others. I have seen numerous optometrists in the city. He’s the best, and very easy to get to no matter where you’re coming from. Do yourself a favor and see Dr Schafran if you need an eye exam, contacts, or glasses.
