Dr. Ricardo Brasiliano Akstein, MD

Dr Akstein is a great eye doctor! If it were not for him, my husband would be blind now due to his diabetes.

I had cataract left eye wants to do left eye I won't until he correct my left I can only see out of half !y eye and when I cover my right eye I can't see a thing so I don't want to do right eye and have him boych that up or I won't see at all very disappointed

Good doctor. Appointments for complete eye exams always take time anywhere you go. Getting good medical exam is worth a little wait

Dr. Akstein is very caring and professional individual! He is kind when seeing the patients and answers all questions regarding the eye condition in question. He gives out brochures which further helps understands the disease process. He spends time with each patient and now he also has to input a great deal of information into the Electronic Medical Records which further takes away from the time he dedicates to a patient, but he takes his time and addresses all issues in a most professional manner. Some patients complain of the wait time but when they are seen they also want the time for their exam and the doctor gives them their time as well. He is always working and he is well known for his surgical skills. He is experienced and he is well regarded by the medical community that knows him.

I should have cancelled the appointment like I started to do. The wait was about 40mins to be seen. After being seen please be advised you'll be dilated and sit in a bright room, for 20 mins. I've never had an Ophthalmologist have me sit in a room with natural lighting after dilation. The staff was fine for the most part but Ricardo Akstein lacks the skill necessary to interact with patients. When explaining why I was in the office he failed to listen and continued with the lack of active listening skills when I was explaining valuable information to him pertaining my eye-care history. In addition to his lack of listening skills he's dismissive. As a person that is required to interact with people daily ideally one brushed up on their communication and active listening skills, not the case in this instance. Basically, I had to be as dismissive and rude as he was to get my point across. Needless to say I will not go back, I will not recommend him. And if you are seeking an… Ophthalmologist my advice would be to do your research.

After waiting 2 hours after appointment time, he automatically tells me I have cataracts and glaucoma. After talking with most other patients waiting. He told them the same thing. It seems like he is trumping up eye illnesses a bit for the money. His, receptionist is as cold as a dead fish. We will never go back there. I'm calling my insurance about his practice.

very good doctor, just have to wait. but then its ok to wait for a good doctor!

He makes you wait over an hour and doesn't treat you with respect. He is known to fail most of his operations and causing the patients to suffer longterm effects.SURGERY IS DONE AT THIS PLACE, BUT DOCTOR AND NURSES ARE HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONALPLEASE I BEG OF YOU, DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR.

I went once and never again. Waited over an hour with no explanation - I might as well have been invisible. Gave me contact lenses with an old expiration date. I was so disgusted with everything - wrote to my Insurance company. They reimbursed me to go elsewhere. Don't waste time or money here!

My dad had surgery on both eyes in 2009. The office staff filed one bill incorrectly and was denied by insurance. My dad kept paying them because he kept getting monthly bills. Dad now has a credit balance of hundreds of dollars. Not only do they refuse to send the money back, they refuse to even talk about it. There are so many other doctors around. Use this one at your own risk.
