Prior to the procedure, I needed glasses even to see "the big E." The feeling I had of a lump in each eye - gone! Colors and white are now brilliant. The doctor treated me with respectful care and attention, no rushing. Waiting time at appointments was reasonable, and the staff were polite. Prior to the procedure I was anxious and squeamish, and Dr. Wertheimer spoke calmly. During appointments before and after the procedure, Dr. Wertheimer had no difficulty administering eye drops and eye pressure testing. The procedure itself took place at the Ridgedale Surgery Center in Cedar Knolls, NJ. There the nurses were kind and patient. I was given numbing eye drops and intravenous sedation. There was no discomfort during the laser removal of the cataracts. For the lens implant, I felt a brief pain in the first eye. When I was getting eye drops for the second eye, I asked for extra numbing. I felt no pain at all that way. I had a one month wait between the first and second eyes. I would suggest a shorter waiting period whenever possible, because there is imbalance of vision between the eye that is done and the one that isn't done.

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience at Upper Montclair Eye Wear and Care…read more I recently spent over $400 on sports goggles, and at no point during the purchase was it explained to me that, once the lenses arrived, only ONE employee was actually able to complete the job. Given that these are sports goggles and we are in the middle of sports season, this information would have been important to know upfront. On Tuesday, I called after being told that the lenses had arrived. I was told someone would call me the next day when the goggles were ready. Wednesday came and went with no call. By Friday, still no call, so I called because I actually need the goggles for the season. Unfortunately, the customer service during that call was incredibly rude and unhelpful. The employee put me on hold for more than five minutes, then came back and asked, essentially, "Are you sure you're calling the right place?" Yes--I was. She then hung up on me. When I called back, I was sent to voicemail. I called again about 10 minutes later, and eventually spoke with the same employee I had spoken with on Tuesday. I was then told that the manager wanted them to explain that there is only one person who can complete the job and that person is only there once a week, so "we'll see what we can do." That is not an acceptable way to handle a customer who has already spent more than $400 with your business and a returning customer. If there are staffing limitations or only one person qualified to complete the work, that should have been clearly communicated when the order was placed--or at the very least when the lenses arrived. I really wanted to support a local business, which makes this experience especially disappointing. Delays happen, but the lack of communication, poor customer service, and dismissive attitude toward my concerns were unacceptable. Unfortunately, I will not be returning, and that's a shame because I would have preferred to continue supporting a local business.

But let's talk about Janice who works the front office. She is hands down the absolute worst at customer service. I made an appt for my kid and. I stated my name when I called and gave her my child's info. She asked for group number and I gave it. All is well, or so I thought. She calls me the next day with an attitude before noon saying my child is not coming up in the system. I said well I gave the group number, let me give you the member id and see if that works. I give her the first letter and she says, "no that's what you gave me yesterday and I don't do this, someone else does this, but I'll see if it works." well first the letter of the id and plan are the same. Had she let me finish, she would have found out. Then she just nastier and nastier. Whose plan is this and addressing me by my wife's name, that I never mentioned. Well who is she, it says spouse, what's her relation, you told me that was your name, etc... Her tone, her rudeness, everything just rubbed me the wrong way to the point I immediately found another provider and canceled my appointment. The drs here are good, but not worth the horrible customer service.

My entire visit he just kept telling me about his geriatric population and how their priorities are different than that of a 30 year olds "vanity." Even went as far as telling me that I haven't been sick enough despite having multiple chronic health issues, that the hospital i went to "went over the top" and didn't know what they were treating, that the CT imaging result of dacryocystitis was wrong and he didn't believe i have it, yet he did his exam and turns out, i do indeed have it! If i could give zero stars I would. Save your time, energy and money and go to a specialist who actually cares about helping you get better. Horrible doctor I wouldn't recommend him to my worst enemy.

This place really is eye candy -- so many beautiful frames, something for everyone! Mark and Dave are very accommodating. They know their stuff and listen to what you want. Once they understand what you are looking for they go to work brainstorming options to fit your needs. My family and I have been coming here for over five years -- multiple prescriptions and many different frames -- and it has always been a positive experience. They recently hooked me up with a great pair of Ray Ban sun glasses that look terrific. Great place!! read more
