I cannot speak for the ophthalmologist or optometrist. I never had the opportunity to meet them…read more The registration women were extremely kind and professional. However, the TECH or medical assistant (blonde lady) that attempted to obtain my intake/triage information, had the most sour attitude and nasty disposition that I have encountered in a long time. I have never in my life, walked out of a doctors appointment. After she started reprimanding me and about her third snarky comment, I had to stand up, tell her this would not be a good fit and walked out. I noticed the general patient population of the this office were quite elderly. I would be horrified if anybody spoke to my grandparents this way. I would literally prefer to go blind, then interact with that woman ever again in my life.

Overall (and according to friends) this seems to be a great practice with caring staff…read more Unfortunately, when I urgently needed an appointment, I was assigned to Dr. Mark Marotto and felt patronized to the point of disrespect. Additionally, he almost overcharged me for services that I'd specifically not wanted. The practice has friendly, professional staff at the desk, and the assistant who settled me in was wonderful. When Dr. Marotto entered, though, he began to put drops in my eyes without asking or explaining what he was doing. When I explained that I was concerned about my severe allergy to a certain chemical in a particular kind of drops, he scoffed at me. Once Dr. Marotto looked at my swollen eyelid and told me how to care for it, he then proceeded to conduct an entire eye exam (quoted billing charge: $250) on me __without my consent__. (I thought he was thoroughly checking my eyelid; the exam was not nearly as comprehensive or as careful as I've received elsewhere.) Fortunately, I'd already told the front desk that I was not there for an exam, and wouldn't pay for one -- but when I told Dr. Marotto that, he suggested that it was my fault because "you asked questions." (I did: about three.) I'm still a bit bewildered by why I was treated this way. I don't expect every physician to click with every patient, but I do believe that, regardless of their field, our health care providers should: 1. tell/ask us before they apply chemicals to our eyes (or anywhere) 2. honor patients' requests to avoid costly and unnecessary procedures 3. encourage questions, rather than blaming patients for wanting to understand what's wrong with them.

So I scheduled to go here- and I'm glad I did. Not only did he diagnose that I've got astigmatisms in both eyes (and that my previous appointment a month ago did not catch, nor did they include in my prescription, meaning my glasses were wrong..) but he very clearly told me all about glaucoma and ocular hypertension, before doing the proper testing and telling me that my eyes were looking fine! He was willing to really take the time to show me pictures of whats good and bad, and explain why I had such iffy results at the other office and probably would get that same iffy result whenever I get the test where you get the puff of air in your eye. I feel like I learned a whole lot, and got great care.
