We had such a great experience at my son’s first visit! The doctor and the staff was very professional, knowledgeable, patient, and so kind. He took the time to explain everything and made us feel very comfortable. We’re very happy with our experience and would definitely recommend him!
This is the doctor you want in your corner if there's a retina issue. I could not have been more grateful to Dr. Freilich for his expertise and professionalism. Most importantly, he is not only an amazing ophthalmologist, he works with the team of technicians and specialists that provide the utmost through and great care. I would not trust my eyes to anyone else. Thank you.
Professional
Excellent knowledgeable. Highly recommend the Dr.
Explanned everything and answered all my questions
Dr. doesn't keep appointments time on a regular basis. Yesterday I've got the phone call from the office asking for a favor to bring my 100 years old father earlier than his appointment. I brought him half hour before, but our waiting time was endless anyway. Dr. is never in a hurry to see the patient.
Dr. Freilich- Was so much nicer this visit! It was appreciated.
He has a gentle touch when injecting the need on the eye
This was my first interaction with Dr. Freilich. He was polite, thorough and informative.
This doctor is very sufficient and straight to the point. He’s the one that told me I have cataracts in both of my eyes whereas prior to multiple visits before.
