Our daughter was born with glaucoma. At ten days old we walked into Dr. Blacks office and he diagnosed her. The next day he did her first surgery. He met with us on holidays, opened up the office on weekends just to come and check her pressure. He has been treating her all of that time and she's almost 3. He is so polite and helpful. Always available and makes a way that you can contact him after office hours. He's been our Angel.

He is the most rude person I have ever met in my life. My toddler went in for a check up on his eye referred from another Dr. And he was rude, told me I couldn't speak to my child when he was screaming so much he was about to puke on himself an caught an attitude when I gave my child 1 little snack when it was over to try an calm him down because he was scared. He had 2 people holding him down in order for this Dr to look at his eyes. One which was myself an the other was the nurse who had his arms pinned back onside of his head. Then he calls for another one to come in when he sees I was upset about what he was doing to my child an he kept telling me I couldn't talk to him when he was calling for me. I give him one little snack to calm him down an this man goes nuts. Very unprofessional and has horrible manners. He should not work with children if he can't handle it.

Dr. Andrew Black is an incredible doctor! He caught a severe eye condition in my daughter that MANY other doctors had missed. He immediately sent us to a specialist to confirm. If left untreated, she would have lost her vision. He is AMAZING with his patients, does not rush, and has genuine love for children. I highly recommend him!!
