My first visit with Dr. Greenbaum and definitely not my last; he is now my eye doctor. He is so very attentive, and explains everything that he is doing. I had the most intensive eye exam ever. He is very professional and very easy to speak with. Highly recommend him! Thank you, Dr. Greenbaum!

Caring, excellent results, and most amazing anesthesia technique - helps all patients but especially the claustrophobic - simple technique prevents patient from feeling or seeing anything during surgery.

Dr Greenbaum operated on my claustrophobic grandmother - he did both eyes under his patented anesthesia technique - she was comfortable - unable to feel or see anything while surgery was done with an open draping system. She was thrilled and saw well the next day. She loved his bed side manner. Our family highly recommends him.

I was taken off my drop by insurer - no longer covered - my eye was red and my pressure rose on generic- Dr Greenbaum did a fast painless laser and now my eye is white and my eye pressure is lower than on my first drop - excellent doctor.

I visited Dr. Greenbaum twice because I had blurry vision during 2 months. He took more than a month to give me a diagnosis, he did all the tests possible ($2k bill) and ended up telling me that I must have some kind of allergy. I visited 3 different doctors after this who confirmed within 20 minutes that I had advanced cataracts in both eyes. I have had surgery. Furthermore, I have been trying to call his office more than 15 times to ask for a refund and could never get in touch with him, either he was busy or nobody picks up the phone. If you want to take care of your health please avoid this doctor.
