The staff was very welcoming. I didn’t wait long before the technician called me back to do her part. Shortly after the doc called me in. I didn’t wait long at all. My appt was for 10:45 they took me early and I was out a little after 11:00. The doctor was pleasant and talked to me about a few issues I was having. She was very nice and knowledgeable. Yes I would recommend Nina Gelfond.

My appointment was right on time and Dr. Gelfond explained why my left eye vision was not clear as my right eye. Was advised how to correct with glasses and decided not to go in that direction. Very happy with my visit.
