Doctor Werthheimer is so kind, so gentle and so patient . He makes sure I understand each step of the exam. I never feel under pressure. I never feel rushed. I am not the bravest patient.

Dr. Wertheimer gave the most thorough eye exam I ever had and helped resolve some complicated prescription issues. He was very patient, generous with his time, and very clear in his explanations.
