Patients had overwhelmingly positive experiences with Dr. Justin Blake Hellman, praising his thoroughness, professionalism, and surgical expertise. They felt comfortable and well-informed, appreciating his clear explanations and confident approach to treatment, leading to high satisfaction with surgical outcomes. However, some patients noted a lack of personal connection during initial consultations, describing a rushed demeanor that made them feel like they were being herded through the process without proper introductions or rapport-building.

I feel very confident with Dr. Hellman's ability and knowledge and commitment to me as a patient. Willing and able to answer my questions. He is very groomed, neat and clean. Looks just like a doctor should look! I will definitely recommend him. Happy patient!

Dr Hellman is a very good surgeon I am very happy with my results both upper and lower procedure. The staff are nice as well. Dr Hellman is reserved and did listen to my concerns even the "research available on "Dr Google" that sometimes clouds the issue with "the wrong details". It is an electronic age that can make patients more difficult to deal with related to insufficient real life experience vs just looking it up on the internet. Good to be informed but trust is the final factor in choosing a good surgeon with real experience and credentials. Very well done PC Eye Center & Dr Hellman :)

Dr. Hellman doesn’t pull any punches. He’s direct and to the point because he is a busy man. I am so pleased with my surgery and the results so far. When he says it takes time for the bruising and swelling to go away, you just have to listen, he knows his business. I highly recommend Dr. Hellman!

Dr. Hellman was very nice and explained the surgery very well. I haven’t had it yet, I will do another review when it is done.

Dr. Hellman was very professional and straightforward. Surgery went well and recovery as expected. The staff were helpful and kind. The only negative thing, I would say is that when he first entered the room, he just went right to my folder and started looking at my eyes and making his prognosis. No hello, I am Dr. Hellman, no connection with me at all other than his exam. I felt like I was being herded through. When he left he said, “it was nice meeting you”, but he never did ‘meet’ me. Patients like feeling welcomed and knowing their Dr.’s a little more than that.

Dr. Hellman and the staff from reception to surgery scheduling were great. The wait was minimal.
