That had to be the strangest doctors visit I’ve ever had. Went in with 1 irritated eye and came out with an RX for glasses! And my vision is great. They put you through a battery of different exams only for the doctor to come in and take a 2 second glance at your eyes and barely communicate with you. I had to ask him myself “so hey what’s wrong with my eye?” Office is chaotic, just seems like quantity over quality, would not recommend.

This review is more toward his office and OPTICAL staff. They are frustratingly unprofessional and just plain lazy. They do not make any effort to follow up with you or respond to your calls or messages. Additionally, you will find that their recommendations on contacts and glasses are tailored more towards what's convenient and profitable for them, and less toward what you need. I highly recommend that you look elsewhere for an eye Dr. Although your experience with Dr. Fishman may be ok, his staff's attitude and poor work ethic will make you regret ever walking into that office. Hopefully he can make some changes, before he looses too many clients. Sadly for him, he has lost a client in me,

Waited over 2 hours. Visit with doctor could not have been more than 2 minutes. He did not even examine my eyes, just glanced at a photo.

I don't do reviews but this was necessary. Very ignorant administrative staff, he just lost a patient because of them. They need training or a new job! I'm not the first to complain or stop going to him because of them, however, since he hasn't made the necessary changes for his patients to be comfortable going there, what does that say about him. New patients stay away!

First let me say that i was lied to, as to the doctor i was going to see, the staff was so unprofessional , the Doctor gave me a diagnoses without even looking at me , I was sold a pair of glasses that i did not need, and worst of all ,he gave me an appointment to come back to see him, for what I do not know , I have no rating for these people, both the staff and himself I think they are a bunch of liars.
