This past Monday I visited the Institute for my annual checkup. After having cataracts removed…read morefrom my left eye in 2019 by another Practitioner in a Hospital, I decided to have the same surgery performed for my right eye at the Institute in the Fall of 2020. I found the procedure to be quite efficient/well-executed, the facility quite clean and well kept, and the staff fairly courteous and professional; considering that the surgery took place at the height of the Pandemic, I consider these virtues to be all the more admirable. I have since returned three times for annual checkups (following my post surgery follow up visit); the duration of my first checkup was 1 to 1 1/2 hours, my second checkup was 1 hour, and my third 1 hour and 45 minutes. There is a sign at the front desk on the 5th floor informing that checkups are 2 hours in duration; a possible reason for my first two checkups having been considerably shorter in length is due to Covid concerns, as I found the wait areas no more crowded during my third checkup than they were during my previous two visits. Again, I have received courteous and professional treatment at each one of my checkups. I have also received a 'clean bill of health' for my eyes at each of my checkups; 20/20 vision, no scar tissue nor glaucoma.

They ignored my family physician's referral for about a month, then, when I called them they said…read more"it is in the queue" and somebody will get back to me. After a couple of weeks somebody called and asked if I can come in Aug. 24 at ten AM - I said yes and they said I will get a phone call a week ahead. Indeed there was an automated reminder on Aug 17 2024 confirming my appointment. I went, as scheduled, on Aug 24 2024 and was told that I do not have an appointment that day and there was no appointment for me at all. The office manager worked on this with me for a few minutes and then told me that the person likely to have made the scheduling (that they never found) was not there and can I call her on Monday. I will never call and don't want to see that place again and will ask my primary care person not to refer me with these people ever again. I understand mistakes happen but what you do after that counts ... how you fix it ... they didn't care about fixing anything, didn't offer another appointment, they thought I'll call the person who likely screwed up. I am disappointed ... was mad about it but that went away ... they don't care, why should I care?

But if you go first thing (7:45 a.m.) you'll be out by 9:00/9:15 a.m. He is personable, very professional and I feel confident that he has thoroughly examined my eyes.

I would recommend the Herzig Eye Institute to anyone who wants perfect vision whether or not you have cataracts or poor vision. Glasses and contact lenses cannot do this to the extent I have seen. The operation was painless and I never once used Tylenol or Advil.
