I would NEVER go to this DR. (NO LET ME SAY- GUY) again!!!…read more My appointment was with Dr. Dennis Stoler. I feel I was forgot about in an exam room... I checked in with the front desk staff (some polite- some snappy) at approximately 2:40pm for a 3:10pm new patient appointment. I did not leave the building until approximately 4:45pm... Even though I made my appointment approximately 2-3 weeks prior with Dr. Stoler, I was being basically completely examined by some sort of medical assistant (she was pleasant but didn't even state her title to me- I had no clue what her credentials were in order to pour thick yellow liquid in my eyes). When Dr. Stoler finally did come into the room, he shined some lights in my eyes and said nothing was wrong. I then asked for a prescription for eyeglasses he said "No, not at this appointment because you were an emergency add on...Oh wait... Let me check before I speak to fast (he looked over some notes).... Ok, I can give you a prescription".... I almost LOST it!!! NOT ONLY did I wait in that office for 2 hours to literally see this dude for 7-10 minutes, he then wants to deny me a prescription for eyeglasses because he thinks I'm an emergency add on.. And of course this is due to him examining me so late in the day- BECAUSE I WAS FORGOT ABOUT!!!!! WOW- Do not go here!!! I got a few smiles from the staff here and there- But overall they are unfriendly, don't know what they are doing and the wait time is to long for doctors of... well .....Dr. Stoler's caliber....

After surgery, my foot was left crooked and I developed a large open wound that was never explained to me. She put a cast over it without telling me anything. When I returned to have the cast changed and finally saw the wound, I almost fainted. No one had warned me about it, and at one point it was close to becoming necrotic. I had to stay in bed for two months because of severe swelling and fluid. Instead of receiving support, I was treated as if I was being dramatic while I was clearly in extreme pain and dealing with serious complications. I later learned that a screw had been placed directly through the middle of my joint, and I ultimately needed another surgery to try to correct the damage. To this day I am still suffering the consequences. I have difficulty walking and constant pain that now affects my legs and back. This surgery took away the active life I once had. Based on my experience, I do not recommend Dr. Lobo at all.

I had a disappointing experience at this office. My appointment was scheduled around lunchtime, and…read morefrom the moment I arrived, things felt chaotic. The person checking me in kept mentioning that "everyone was at lunch," which didn't exactly inspire confidence. The whole visit felt very disorganized. I was moved through four different rooms for what should have been a routine appointment. One for check-in, another for testing, a third to answer questions, and a fourth to see the doctor. After my exam, I had to stand around waiting to check out because it seemed like a new employee was being trained. One person was trying to do their own job while training someone, while several other staff members were just standing around. My appointment was a routine contact lens and glasses exam. They didn't have trial lenses in my new prescription, which wasn't a big deal because they said they could order them and have them in a couple days. Great! But when I went back to pick up the trial lenses, the check-in process felt just as disorganized as my first visit. I eventually got the lenses, and the doctor told me to try them out and come back if they didn't work for me. Unfortunately, they weren't a good fit, so I called to ask about trying a different brand. I was told they didn't have trial lenses for the new brand again and it would take two weeks to get them. I was confused because my first set only took a couple of days to come in. On top of that, the office was closed for a full week around the July 4th holiday, so now I'm looking at almost a month just to try a second pair of contacts. My concern is, what if this second pair doesn't work either? Am I going to have to wait another two weeks? Trying different lenses is a normal part of getting the right fit, but the whole process has been much slower and more frustrating than it should be. Overall, the office just felt very disorganized, and the contact lens process has been unnecessarily drawn out. I left feeling more frustrated than anything else. Also, they might want to talk to the staff about walking around vaping in their scrubs around the parking lot it's not a professional look for a medical office.

My father is 89 years with diabetes wears hearing aides but has all his faculties lives on his own and still drives. He had a cornea transplant surgery done a few days ago not only did we have to wait over 4 hours to even have the surgery but the procedure it self took over two and a half hours ....,keep in mind my father could not have his hearing aids in for the procedure......when the surgeon came out and spoke with me he said boy your father became very figidy on the table and he even had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the procedure I am not sure the procedure will even be a success .... As we were leaving he spoke harshly to my father again stating "why did you move so much the transplant may not take now ".....when I talk to my father he said boy was he mad at me he kept yelling at me don't move and why are you moving your ruining my work my dad said I wasn't even aware I was moving .....Well here's where I have a problem with all of this if you were so concerned about my father moving would it have not been a better idea to maybe lightly sedate him and also take into consideration he is. 89 and didn't have his hearing aids in so he is likely not able to hear you well and perhaps you should have something that steadies the head during the surgery.......fast forward to the next day the f/u office appointment the doctor was examining his eye and again became very upset because the transplant did not look how it should he then said to my dad in a condescending way I told you to lay flat on on your back at home did you even do that my dad said yes I did exactly what you told me.. The doctor then stated I need to put another air bubble in your eye to hopefully save the transplant you will have to lye flat for an hour before you leave here.....The office was also very outdated and not supplied well and short staffed on all Visits. He also spoke very gruffly to his assistants ... we came back the next morning and my dads eye patch was on a little crooked because it had slid down he then once again spoke very condescendingly to my father saying this is not the way you wear the eyepatch it's all on wrong he then abruptly removed and replaced it.....in the end the cornea was in place and beginning to heal ...while I don't expect the doctor to be all sunshine and roses about everything I do expect that he would show his patients the same respect that he would want himself . Perhaps moving forward he will keep this case in mind and change things up a little bit for the next person....

I am extremely THRILLED with the results of my ICL (Implantable Contact Lenses (Visian ICLs))!!!!…read more I had never heard of this procedure before seeing Dr. Sheth, but he explained all of the options. I was not a candidate for lasik beacuse my cornea wasn't thick enough but could choose either PRK or ICL. It is scary to think that another doctor at a different lasik center had said I could do lasik, because it could have damaged my eyes and I never would have known the difference had I not sought a second opinion. Anyway, ICL is a procedure in which permanent lenses are implanted in your eyes through tiny incisions. It is great because it does not change the shape of your eye and the lenses can be removed if they ever needed to be. I started to see almost immediately. I could drive by day 2! The recovery is very easy - you just wear a shield over your eye to bed and put in drops. It was much better than what I heard my friends who had PRK had to go through. The procedure doesn't hurt and Dr. Sheth and everyone at the Sheth-Horsley Eye Center were great! Dr. Sheth explained what he was doing and made the surgery quick and smooth. I would recommend this procedure to anyone who is tired of wearing glasses or contacts! I now have better that 20/20 vision and am so glad to trusted Dr. Sheth with my eyes!!!!!!
