I've been seeing Dr. Glaser for my eye care many years. He's so good at answering my questions and explaining things well. He's knowledgeable, and you can tell he enjoys this work. Dr. Glaser is genuine and makes you feel comfortable. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing an optometrist!

Dr Glaser was very professional, ,respectful, and personable. He explained what he was about to do and included me in explanation always asking if I had questions. I appreciated that he told me if things changed from last exam and why that may be. He was on time and sent me home with instructions on what to expect snd to come back into call if certain symptoms appeared.
