God Bless Dr. Wertheimer and his personable and welcoming staff! Dr. Wertheimer really cares about people (patients)!
Excellent as always: truly cares about his patients
The actual consultation was fine. Dr. Shah was very thorough. I was disappointed that Dr. Wertheimer was unable to see me. Unfortunately I have to rate the visit as only “okay”, because I had to spend most of my time waiting. My visit took over 2 hours. Granted, I had to complete some paperwork and it takes time for the eyes to dilate. But despite the fact that I’m retired, I still value my time, and I think two hours is an inordinately long time to spend for a regular medical visit.
Dr. Wertheimer is the best! Katie was so helpful.
