This is my 5th Ophthalmologist in 5 years. Do we see a trend here. He we go with a break down of…read morewhat I have experienced. Please put your drink down and swallow whatever you maybe eating as I do not want you to choke from possible laughter as I am going to describe a few of the others I have been to see. Year 5- This DR had OCD with a side of attention deficit and maybe a little bi-polar G had been to her before so we will call this a recommendation. After it was over and we left I said to G, ARE YOU KIDDING??? He said what??? I said she is a lunatic, I am not sure that I even had an eye exam, but I am sure she had a long hair growing out of the mole in her chin. He said what mole? I said, clearly you need glasses if you didn't see that big hairy mole on her chin. Ok...so she gave me a prescript for night driving glasses and I got them filled and I did see better at night. Yes I did see the occasional dancing bunnies crossing the road but that was fine (that was embellished). Fast forward.... Year 4 - Yes, I go back to her the following year, with G by my side, and again its the same OCD experience, with a side of amnesia. She does my exam and of course there again is that long hair coming out of the mole on her chin. For the sake of all humanity does this woman not have a BFF in her life that can tell her to pluck that puppy out. Give me a tweezer and I would pluck it for her. She must have thought I had lazy or wandering eye cause all I could focus on was that thing. After the exam I said I would like to get a new set of night driving glasses.....she said....I did not give you night driving glasses....thus the amnesia....I said....yes you did....she said .....no I didn't.....I said here they are....she said....no I didn't.....I said who gave them to me....she said I don't know it wasn't me. Ok, well then I would like a new prescription for driving glasses, you don't need night driving glasses she says to me. At this point I know I am getting no where with Dr. Long Chin Hair from Moleville, so I am out of the chair and out of the exam room. I head down the hall and tell G its his turn and enjoy the chin hair view. Year 3 - G found us another Dr. First off the office is temperature challenged, aka hot as hell. Women of a certain age do not like hot. They like cool. Breezy cool. Add screaming children in the waiting room and you start to get a recipe for mutiny. Get past the hot and the screaming kids and get to the doctor Deborah.....here he comes in the room and all I can think is MEOW, MEOW, MEOW, MEOW......who put that dead cat on your head. I looked at G and gave G the WTH look and though G was going to bust out laughing. Is this a joke are you kidding me. So I had my exam go out of the chair, let G get in the chair and then proceeded to point at the dead cat and shake my head at G. This doctor had one of the worst man wigs on that I had ever seen. Did he not have a bud that would say guy that looks like crap on you. Take that thing that looks like a black dead cat off your chrome dome. I wanted to tell the doctor that chicks dig bald guys, but anyone so desperate to wear that my really be self conscious. We did not return for another visit. Year 2- G found us another Dr. This doctor was a combination of Baryshnikov meets Nathan Lane meets RuPaul. Flamboyance and beauty and fine Italian couture. Let me look in your beautiful blue eyes here, and there and rub your shoulders here and there and lovely hair and possibly with your age your eyes are drying out, lets get you some drops. Now lets lips sync for your life. I though the disco ball was going to drop and the wigs were going to fly. No cataracts, macular degeneration, you just need readers my girlfriend and you are good to sashay away. WHEW! To Current review! Dr. Chubak The only thing missing from Dr. Chubak is his pocket protector. He is clinical yet friendly in the same moment. He is also very good at reviewing your history and medications and letting you know how they can possibly affect your eyesight. This is something that no other doctor has ever done during any visit. In all honesty, I was not in a super chatty mood during my visit with Dr. Chubak, so my normal conversational self was a bit more toned down, but, I can say that If you would like to have a regular normal human conversation with Dr. Chubak, you would have no problem. He is friendly and witty, with a side of fun nerdy. His staff is competent and friendly. The only problem with the office is the parking is ZERO. Have someone drop you off and come back for you. If the office had parking then the stars would have been 5.

She told me that the next available appointment is not for another 3+ months. I need to wait 14 weeks for the next available appointment. Whoa!!! Would've been nice for her to offer to put me on a waiting list in case someone cancels their appointment. But she didn't offer. And therefore, I didn't ask... screw this office. I'll go somewhere else.

First off, Dr. Leslie Shapiro (the Ophthalmologist) is great. He is professional, courteous,…read moreanswers any and all questions - no matter how stupid they are, and has great "bedside" manner, sans bed. 5 stars all across the board. Even his optometrist is proficient and friendly. Why the 3 stars? His office clerical staff stinks. I mean completely sucks. How much do they suck? Let me list the ways. 1. They don't get off their ass to open le door. You'd figure they'd want you to come in but they keep their offices locked and even with me knocking twice they wouldn't open the door (no buzzer entrance). A fellow patient in the waiting room opened my door. 2. Curt, rude and unfriendly. It's a doctors office. Its not a coffee shop with roaring fireplace. I get that. But seriously lacking in professional courtesy. 3. Completely confusing billing explanation. They insisted that I pay an extra $30 for my eyeglasses prescription. Uh what? I've never had a doctor charge me for a prescription. It's a prescription. You're not supposed to charge for RX!!! I paid because I wanted to leave and my pupils were all dilated and funky and I was woozy. But once I gathered my brain to its normal state I called to demand refund. According to the doctor that was a fee for refraction test which my insurance doesn't cover. That makes perfect sense. I even confirmed with my ins because I don't believe a word of what the reception says now. Overall, I'd still go to see Dr. Shapiro. He was recommended to me by my MD (who I completely adore) and after his assessment of my eyes, I have a lot of respect and medical trust in him. His office staff? Not so much.
