The office staff is pleasant and welcoming. The place is clean, quiet and the office has a calming effect.
Dr. William Christian is a very experienced doctor. He is thorough and communicates very well. His assistants are very competent as well.
Dr. Christian examined my eyes and assured me that my eyes are in good health.
My overall experience was great!
Yes, I would go back! In fact I have already booked my return recheck scheduled a year from my appointment day.
Thank you Dr. Christian and the amazing staff.
July 14, 2023Balbir B.Verified patient
Really great experience. Great and really friendly staff. Office was well kept. Doctor was friendly and answered all questions very clearly. Will be my go to eye doc moving forward.
Only minor complaint is parking around here is not great and the in building garage can't be validated by the office.

Dr. Christian was an excellent doctor, very thorough, and I truly felt in good hands. On top of that, all of the staff was super friendly. I was in a bit of a grumpy mood walking into the appointment - I was late and stressed and they didn't give me a hard time - and I left feeling in a pretty good mood. When does that happen?? I was super impressed about everything to do with this office. Highly recommend.

My first touch point was the staff - extremely friendly, helpful and professional. They made me feel comfortable right away. Even before I arrived, they emailed me the paperwork and told me exactly what the copay was going to be.
The doc had excellent bedside manner - extremely articulate and took the time to educate me. I especially liked how he questioned my questions leading me to arrive at the answer on my own - as an coach, I value that. It was a very pleasant experience. I have made my next 6 month appt. I believe I’ve found my eye doc.

On time, efficient session with Dr Christian and his staff. Clear options and next steps and all of the expected C19 precautions throughout.
Shaun A.Verified patient
Friendly, thorough, intelligent, patience staff.
Dr Christian is brilliant, patiently answered my many questions, used an eye anatomy illustration to describe my condition with complete
medical rationale for his recommended treatment of my diagnosis. I’m grateful a friend recommended Dr Christian. He’s The Best ophthalmologist I’ve even known!
July 8, 2020Nancy R.Verified patient

Moneerah A.Verified patient
This office is fabulous. The staff were very friendly and fast, I barely had to wait before my name was called and I was escorted into a room. Dr. Christian was very kind, knowledgeable, and personable. He is a great listener and was very confident in his diagnosis and treatment. I felt like he actually cared about my problem.
Overall I had a great experience today and highly recommend him.

July 2, 2019Jaffe J.Verified patient
The Dr. himself was nice. He referred me to a specialist who does not accept my insurance which was disappointing. Also, there is a parking structure for the medical facility and they did not validate parking which was also upsetting (it was $2 every 15 minutes). I liked the doctor and his staff were also kind.

Dr, Christian and his staff were outstanding in every way. I am here visiting from out if town and developed an eye infection. I don't know what I would have done without zocdoc and Dr. Christian and Mia, his receptionist. I am pretty picky and they were awesome.
