I do not see how he is able to practice. Very cold, creepy, demeaning and hard to talk to. As if he does not have any time for his patients. No wonder his office was empty.

Receptionist was nice. Office was empty. No other patients besides me. Doctor seem creepy. No conversation, only answered the questions I asked. It was hard to have any communication with him. I will not go back.

Receptionist was super nice! However, the doc was totally unprofessional! He cursed at and belittled his receptionist in front of the entire waiting room. He was curt with me and made a completely inappropriate joke about my mother being an alcoholic due to my congenital eye defect. He made me feel bad when I couldn't read the eye chart properly. Well that is the reason I was there..I can't read clearly with my current glasses! I have no idea how this doctor has repeat business.

Seemed very curt, almost demeaning. Seemed bothered by having having appointments. Also showed rudeness to a medical representative who visited the office. I will not return.

In Jan. 2010 my wife developed a severe pain in her right eye. Dr. Safar saw her that afternoon and diagnosed her problem. He provided samples, prescription and a follow up visit in two days. Dr. Safar said the eye was better and is continuing her treatment. Dr. Safar has provided treatment for my wife now on three occasions. We both found Dr. Safar and his staff to be professional and courteous at all times and will continue to use his services.
