Excellent All the way around!
dr. Wertheimer is beyond excellent! I am an RN BSN I have been in the medical field for 40 years. He is the kindest most thorough most talented physician and surgeon I have ever been to. You will never need any other eye doctor. If you live in New Jersey he is number one! . I Thank him from the bottom of my heart
Dr Wertheimer is a good doctor primarily because he’s very patient, thorough and listens - I’m happy I found him after moving to NJ right before covid
very attentive
very nice doctor
personable, respectful, extremely knowledgeable
Very professional and patient doctor!
Caring, concerned and takes time answering questions and explaining options for treatment.
A friendly and pleasant staff explaining every procedure during the exam.
Dr Wertheimer himself is superb ! but his staff is not. It should not take an hour and a half for an exam. One pre-test was overlooked by a tech and had to be done later. Dr. thought eye drops were administered by a tech but they were not, - so another wait for the drops to kick in. The staff mill around , moving patients in and out of waiting rooms like so many pegs on a board. I will not be returning to this practice - TOO BIG AND TOO BUSY AND TOO CONFUSED!
