My family and friends have seen all the providers at Dr. Frank’s office for many years. I’ve seen both Dr. Frank and Dr. Gupta and like them equally. The staff is always pleasant and knowledgeable via phone conversation or in the office, best I’ve seen at any doctors’ offices. I had the cataract surgery for both eyes early this year since I was having difficulty with night driving which started to affect my daily routine. I ended up choosing the PanOptix IOL. Dr. Frank explained that there would still a possibility of needing glasses if I want to correct my vision more but as of now, I don’t need glasses to drive, read, or doing any household stuff. A friend of mine actually went to Dr. Frank for cataract surgery as a new patient. She’s happy with her current vision and appreciative of the recommendation.

Their staff not professional at all even the manger of the staff very rude, I have medical and vision insurance and they sending my a bill and they refused to see my daughter 2nd visit to finish the eye exam until I pay the whole visit cash and even they don’t want to submit a clam to the vision insurance because they don’t take it but they didn’t say that in the first visit they said they accept it and took a copy from it. Bad experience unprofessional staff and even the eye exam took more than one visit it’s just for glasses usually it getting done in the same visit definitely I don’t recommend them at all.
