Dr. Binenbaum is an incredible doctor who went above and beyond in taking the time to address my total medical problems in the context of a complex medical diagnosis, and took the time to write a letter that would be most helpful for my care provider team, rather than sending me away because my main concern was not currently an ophthalmologic one, at the moment. I so appreciated his expertise as a doctor and am so glad that he exemplifies what it means to be a specialist without detracting from overall medical care and attention -- sometiems specialists have disjointed understanding, but sometimes specialists are people who simply know a little more about one thing but still know a lot and understand the connections with other things in the body as a systemic whole. I am really grateful for Dr. Binenbaum's care - he made me feel like a human being when talking with him, and I wish him all the very best.

We spent less than 5 minutes waiting to see him. We were called right back. He is amazing. He spent a good 45 minutes with me and my daughter, and I have no doubt she has the best care with Dr. Binenbaum.
