Dr. Gary Gegerson has been my family optometrist for well over twenty years. I vaguely remember a time when I was not seeing Dr. G. I do remember another optometrist office in Miami that seemed so far away though, and as a child, I suppose things are just like that.
Having said that, Dr. Gegerson exemplifies the essence that is a doctor with good 'bedside manner.' Yes, Dr. G. speaks softly and with a tone you can easily understand, regardless of age, and yes, Dr. G. will make jokes or ask about the family to make you feel at ease. While all that is fine and dandy, Dr. G. always tells you the truth and in plain English. Dr. G. will not sugarcoat or dance around anything that you need to hear and when working with your eyes, this is a huge responsibility.
I had LASKI back in 2006, with the recommendation of Dr. G.'s trusted surgeon. I hesitate to bring the name up, as this is a review for Dr. G., however Dr. Cory Lesner is the name and he too is amazing. GO check out my review for MILLENIUM if you wish. (Shameful plug.)
As a child I could not touch my eye and with the need for either glasses or contacts, getting near and using the contacts was not for me. I just could not do it. Dr. G. worked with me, so slowly and carefully, and though I was never able to place the contacts in, Dr. G., showed me the difference of wearing them in different situation and how I might be best fitted for something like LASIK.
The style and approach Dr. G. takes with his patients is to make sure they always know what is going on and with the expectation that they will be seen in a timely manner. I have not once waited in his front office for more than ten or so minutes. We all know that is amazing when thinking of any doctor. Dr. G., his wife and right-hand man (lady), Dale, are a great team. So, if looking for an eye doc in the Pinecrest, Miami area in general, I could not recommend any one else. Oh, by the way, I used to live in Kendall and now I live in North Miami. Once a year, I do make the pilgrimage to see Dr. G. and Dale. No excuses. SYOY! read more
