Dr. Lincoff is current and patient, willing to explain and teach you about your illness if you are open to hearing every detail. Runs behind because of this attention sometimes, but is definitely worth the wait! Accurate and helpful. I trust Dr. Lincoff more than any other opthalmologist I've seen in my 50 years of life.

Dr. Lincoff treated my son for eye/head issues resulting from a concussion. Her examination was thorough, and her friendly and caring manner put my son at ease. She was able to help him understand that what he was facing as a result of his injury, and what he could be doing to help in the healing process. She took the time to fully explain everything to both of us, and addressed his concerns rather than marginalizing them.I would highly recommend her.

Dr. Lincoff is a terrible doctor that lets her personal opinions get in the way of properly caring for her patients. I would highly recommend you seek other care.
