My Opthalmologist for 14 years since arriving in Jacksonville from Boca Raton. Exceptional &…read morecompassionate care focused on curing disease of the eye. Very popular in the Mandarin community's older folks. Will not rush your appointment. Large staff to handle busy office

One of my eyes had been itchy and watering for a couple weeks. I went to my primary and was given a…read morecouple different eye drops. She said if they didn't work I needed to see a specialist. About 3 weeks later my eye wasn't any better. I looked online for an Ophthalmologist through my insurance provider. Levenson Eye came up quite a few times as they have several locations and many doctors in their practice. I made my appointment and got scheduled for right about a week later. They mailed me a packet of papers to complete so I wouldn't have to wait longer when I arrived having to fill them out. The office is a fairly good size. Once you check in with the receptionist. You wait for a doctors assistant to come grab you. The wait was kinda long for me. My appointment was at 11:40 and I didn't get called back until almost 12. Once the Doctor's assistant tested my vision, eye pressure and took some notes, I was led to another waiting area. This wait wasn't too long. About another 10 minutes. I saw Dr McDonald. He was very nice, greeted me and got right down to the issue. He ended up trying to unclog my tear ducts which was strange and I was kind of freaked out. He also gave me some steroid drops and told me it could take about 4 days to get better. About 2 days later my eye was feeling better and by day 4, a 100% improvement!! I can finally see and sleep again! While the doctor was great, the receptionist was nice, the building easy enough to find and the care good, my only issues were with my Doctor assistant who didn't really have a bed side manner at all and the long wait. Overall I would recommend this office. They are located on the west side of San Jose behind Wells Fargo on Hartley.

Robert I Schnipper, MD - Botched IV result

Dr. Schnipper did cataract surgery on both my eyes. I'm happy with the results and how fast I was…read moreable to get the whole procedure done from my initial visit. My eyes were so bad that my optometrist would not give me a new glasses prescription. I was so blind I could no longer read street signs or see traffic lights well, especially if I had the sun in my face. I like Dr. Schnipper. He has a quirky personality. Some of his staff however, especially in the surgical center, could use some CS training. While I was laying on the gurney waiting my turn to go into surgery, there was a lot of in-house gossip going on around me. I found that to be rather unprofessional. I'm glad my first surgery on my right eye was a much more pleasant experience compared to my second visit for my left eye. The IV insertion was nothing the first time. I barely felt it go in and when it came out all I was left with was a tiny red dot. The second time, OMG, I walked out of there looking like my hand had been slammed in a car door. The person that tried to do this IV destroyed my hand. There was no hope of finding a vein so then she tried my arm. A week later and I still have a big bruise from that. Do NOT let the lady with blonde hair in bob style with bangs do your IV. Ask for somebody else. If she had been the one to do my first IV, I would have been terrified to go back for my second surgery. I felt like I was being stung by bees. I added pictures just to show I am NOT being overly dramatic. It's a week later now and my hand is still bruised up, just not as dark now.

Due to COVID, most doctors offices seem to have reduced the number of patients they will see in one…read moreday. Not this place. They're shoveling bodies into the disorganized waiting room where the average wait time seems to be over an hour. I know this because my appointment was at 9:10am and its 10:10am and I'm still sitting here waiting to be seen. I can't comment on the actual doctor. My comment is towards whoever is mismanaging the appointment and patient intake process. Stop scheduling people 15 minutes apart when you know full well the average wait time is over an hour. Your staff and all of the patients will appreciate it.
