A very pleasant experience. I had the convenience of booking my appointment online for my annual exam. No waiting on the phone for a booking. Once there, I was seen immediately. Everyone was efficient and fast, explaining each test and what would be next during my appointment. Highly recommend.

I had a great experience upon my visit. I recommend that anyone interested in making an appointment do so. I will definitely be back upon my next visit!
July 16, 2025Helio A.Verified patient
Practice couldn’t be better! Dr Farbowitz has an excellent bedside manner - very personable and not in a rush. He listens and answers and doesn’t over-explain - which I appreciate. He was able to improve my eye problems when others couldn’t. He was able to get my pricey meds for free.
The office has plenty of parking and easy to find. The staff is friendly and efficient. I arrived early and my wait was minimal.
I’ve had eye issues for 40 years and have seen doctors in NJ, NYC and Philadelphia. Dr. Farbowitz is amongst the best. All-around, an ideal medical practice. I HIGHLY recommend it.

Overall experience very good 5 star
June 5, 2025Noah E.Verified patient
Booked the appointment and set time, confirmed with the office days in advance with text confirmation received on the day of. When I arrive at the agreed place and time, the office is locked. I called and the operator (who I guess sits in one of the practices other offices) confirmed doctor I booked was not in that day, despite the office having confirmed the appointment multiple times prior.
I don't mind having to reschedule but if the doctor is not going to be in, that should be made clear before the appointment.

Office was so clean and "chic". The staff was super nice, courteous and professional. Love that the office is entirely EMR "Electronic Med Rec". Coming from a medical background myself I tend to notice a lot of details. Dr. Farbowitz was great, had great bedside manners, wait time was minimal. I felt very much at ease, would recommend in a heart beat. great location.
SLVerified patient
Great Doc! Made me feel very comfortable. Explained everything to me so I understood. Good sense of humor and a professional. Left feeling very knowledgeable, and the staff was very friendly, courteous, professional and helpful. Would recommend immediately to friends and family. Office very clean, modern and spacious.

Excellent. I had a visual field test done and the technician took time to tell me how the test work. My ophthalmologist was thorough, patient, and professional.
