“I was provided with a comprehensive eye exam without being told to go to specialistS .
I have a complicated auto immune disorder testing the doctor knew the disorder and immediately put my ease that it did not affect my eyes by showing me the test results and offering me additional information. I am sending the rest of my family to go have a normal eye exam with this doctor. He is fabulous.”

Booked on Zocdoc. Got a reminder email from Zocdoc. Showed up the appt, but the doctor was out for the week. They found my Zocdoc booking ("Oh, I see that now"). Kind of annoyed about the wasted time.

Dr. Fucigna is great himself, but the office staff is not that friendly. Also, be prepared to wait 1-2 hours. I had an appointment at 11 and left the office at 12:45 which is just absurd. He is very friendly and quick once you finally sit with him though!

The staff was kind and patient but in the end it took 2.5 hours for my annual eye exam. I did all my paperwork with very nice assistant but between that and actually seeing the doctor is was another full hour. The doctor didn’t even apologize or recognize that I had been waiting for so long and then continued to banter and waste more of my time. Overall, would not recommend.

The staff was great and the exam was fine. However I had to wait 40 minutes to see the doctor who took 5 minutes to review my chart and complete the exam. Very inconsiderate for working professionals.

This was my first visit with Dr. Fucigna and I was extremely happy with my experience. The front desk staff was friendly and knowledgable and the technician who took my information and ran some tests was a joy to be around. He was friendly, put me at ease, and made sure that I was comfortable with everything happening. Dr. Fucigna was patient and took time to answer all of my questions. He also asked me a lot of questions to get to know me and I appreciated that.

November 22, 2020Alexander B.Verified patient
My experience with Dr. Fucigna was really great. His office is immaculate. The staff is lovely. Dr. Fucigna spent a lot of time with me explaining my options and encouraging me to do whatever I could to avoid surgery. He’s awesome and the entire experience was wonderful!
More than 1 year agoLauren S.Verified patient
It's been two hours and I'm still sitting in an exam room waiting to see the doctor. At this point I could have made a pair of glasses with a pocket knife and some old beer bottles.
November 20, 2020Brian O.Verified patient
The way medicine is practiced best: a greeting, get-to-know-you banter, a few jokes, down to business, a thorough explanation and treatment plan, no rush—just calm, confident care.

Great experience
November 2, 2020Robb P.Verified patient
Dr. Fucigna is very helpful. He clearly knows what he is talking about, and I fully trust him with my eyes. The office can work a little slow, but it’s worth the wait.

Meh. Thank

Dr. Fucigna and his technician were both very thorough and friendly during the examination. The office is very careful with making sure everyone is safe from covid-19 and the staff wears masks. Great conversation with the doctor while he was checking my eyes too made it a very pleasant experience. He recently examined my wife's eyes too and she had nothing but praise as well.
May 24, 2020Michael S.Verified patient
My visit from beginning to end took over 3 hour. I had no underlying issues and 20/20 vision. Plus, I was charged for an unnecessary procedure that I repeatedly declined that the doctor aggressive pushed with no reasonable explanation. They said the test/procedure would cost one amount, not surprisingly it was higher. They were dishonest and aggressively pushing unnecessary procedures. Be aware. I will seriously reconsider returning to this office.

I thought the visit was perfect!
- The staff was friendly and organized.
- The overall checkup was longer and better than ALL OTHER places I’ve been to.
- Everyone took time with helping me, from the receptionist right up to Dr. Fucigna.
- I never had to wait.
- The technology is excellent; also better than I’ve seen anywhere else. They don’t use unnecessary equipment, either.
