Dr. Deutsch is the best doctor I have ever been to. He is extremely knowledgeable of the eye and all procedures available to correct vision. He is caring and takes time with each patient. Going to him gives me peace of mind that my eyes are in good shape and I have the correct prescription. He is extremely friendly and caring.

He is a awful man with no bedside manner. He toots his own horn and likes himself way too much.
