Great as always
He is a great Dr. Let's you know how your eye health is while doing exam. Very kind person too. Can't say enough about him.
Dr. Wertheimer is an outstanding physician. I recommend him highly. He is kind, professional and very knowledgeable in his field. His office staff is friendly and helpful.
The BEST
Dr. Wertheimer is very caring and considerate with his patients, always willing to listen and explain any concerns you might have about your vision.
He was excellent, referring to past surgery and explaining the revised procedures for my other eye. All records were at hand. Waiting 90 minutes past the appointment time was not great, but still worth the time.
Very pleasant and thorough
I left reassured & a bit more knowledgeable about my eye health. From the front desk & eye techs to Dr Wertheimer himself patient care is focused & interactive.
Dr Wertheimer takes the time to discuss the issues I am experiencing & was able to diagnose the issue & prescribe treatment. In addition, Dr Wertheimer suggested I seek a second opinion from a specialist & provided the doctor’s reach information. I am very grateful.
Dr. Wertheimer is the best! Listens and addresses all concerns.
