Quick diagnosis. Very kind and gentle as I'm a blinker! Copay was more than I thought it would be with Oscar Simple Gold, but worth figuring out what was wrong with my eyes. I'll definitely be back.
I had an early appointment, spoke to a technician right away, went back to waiting room for 5 minutes, then saw the doctor. In and out in an hour.

He was nice, but I did not feel like he was listening to my issues. Luckily my eyes got better after a week and did not need to schedule a follow-up.
February 25, 2018Adina K.Verified patient
Immediately understood what was wrong with me—and was able to diagnose a secondary problem that wasn’t even on my radar. The front desk is staffed by two very sweet ladies. Highly recommend!
February 16, 2018Jamie F.Verified patient
Seen Dr. Deluca twice, after not visiting an ophthalmologist in 15 years or so. His office and staff have been great on the phone, and are very efficient. I also got email reminders for my appointment and a personal phone call the day before my appointment to confirm my insurance details ahead of time.
Dr. Deluca gets straight to the point without rushing things, is definitely thorough, and did a great job of explaining things and answering my questions. Definitely planing to continue seeing him if the need ever comes up.
January 27, 2018Gabriel L.Verified patient

October 11, 2017Carlos L.Verified patient
Dr. Deluca was knowledgeable and easy to talk to about my issue. The front office staff was also very knowledgeable, efficient and helpful.
September 20, 2017Robert H.Verified patient
I would not recommend this doctor to anyone. Over the past two months, I had three procedures done by Dr. Deluca in order to resolve the same issue in my eye and today the issue remains unresolved. Also I waited 90 minutes before I was seen for my first procedure because they double booked the room that they needed to use for the procedure. I am now going to see a different doctor but in order to get my medical records released, I am being charged for the records to be mailed to me because this office does not provide an option to receive the information electronically.
