Dr. Segal was very thorough and efficient. He explained everything in detail. He is truly a gentleman, and from my point of view, a fantastic retinal specialist. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs this type of visual Medical care. I would give him on a scale of one to 10 I would give him a 10+. Dr. Harvey Ring

The doctor was very good once we finally saw him, but the wait time was unacceptable. My father’s appointment was scheduled for 3:15, yet we were not seen until 5:28. While the preliminary tests were done fairly quickly, we ended up being the very last patient seen. Since this appointment had already been rescheduled due to the doctor’s absence, I can only assume the office either overbooked or overlooked my father’s appointment.
Regardless of the reason, making a 91-year-old man in a wheelchair with dementia wait over two hours is simply not acceptable. He lives in a memory care facility with scheduled transportation, and such delays create unnecessary stress and hardship. This experience was extremely frustrating, and I hope steps are taken to prevent this from happening again.
