Met with Rebecca Chait in Dr. Shaaf’s absence. Was having some issues after cataract surgery. She asked me to come in to double check everything. All is good, eye pressure went from 35 to 18. I go back next week for another check. Cataract surgery on my right eye is scheduled for September 29th. Dr. Chait was great.

I can’t thank Dr. Chait and the team enough! Nataly was super sweet. When I had an eye infection, they managed to squeeze me in for an emergency appointment that exact same day. The doctor was incredibly knowledgeable, very professional, and treated me with so much kindness. Highly recommend this practice to anyone in need of expert eye care.

She is wonderful. If there was anything that could go wrong it did, BUT I DO NOT BLAME HER. These are risks you take. She was there for me and saw it thru

After repeatedly being told " you need stronger glasses" by the optical box stores, I made an appointment with Dr. Chait. Long story short, she took me from legally blind (cataracts) to 20/15 in both eyes. I am literally seeing objects that have been absent since I was a teenager. I am referring anyone and everyone I know with optical issues to my miracle worker. Thank you Dr. Chait.
