I recently woke up with blurry vision in my left eye. I thought it was something that would resolve on its own but after almost a week it didn’t. I decided to call the Eye Care Ltd since it’s very close to my house & I had individually researched the doctors on healthgrades. I’m a registered nurse so I pay attention to everything beginning with my first contact with the secretary. She was very nice and was able to get me an immediate appointment. When I arrived I was seen within 10 minutes by an assistant who started my exam. She was very thorough. I was then seen by Dr Leboyer. He did some imaging and was able to tell me that I had scratched my eye & that the lens had healed with some irregularities. He recommended a treatment followed by a simple in-office procedure. My vision is back to normal. I have a follow up in 3 weeks. I am appreciative to him & his staff that it wasn’t more serious.

The Unilocal reviews that have been posted are right: the doctor wait-times can be long and the waiting room is not luxurious. None of this matters. What matters is your eye sight — one of life’s greatest gifts. My eye-glass wearing family of 5 and elderly mother-in-law have all seen Dr. Bornstein(and Le Boyer on occasion) for 15+ years and 4 cataract surgeries. The office staff is helpful and competent. Dr. Bornstein is extraordinarily competent and dedicated and he is a top-notch eye surgeon. The reason he’s sometimes behind schedule is that he’s saving mine or my husband’s eyesight from macular holes and retinal tears. Potentially devastating eye problems can develop rapidly and caring for emergencies can cause high wait times. Know that if you are Dr. Bornsteins’ patient and have an emergency that he will prioritize your case. For instance, my husband developed a retinal tear over the weekend. Dr. Bornstein fit him into the schedule Monday morning and performed laser repair at the end of the day. This doubtlessly caused other people to have to wait.

I was skeptical of this place after reading the other reviews, but they were all wrong! Everybody here from the front desk to the tech(Renee) to the doctor was warm and friendly. I was in and out in less than 45 minutes! I highly recommend this practice.(Which means a lot because I am an optician by trade!)

Dr berman may be worth the wait, but the rest of the doctors are not worth the 2 – 2.5 hour wait times. I would highly advice against this practice.

He was running an hour and a half behind and instead of calling me they said I should have called them to see if he was running behind. Waiting room packed. I got the feeling it’s pretty common.

So my 95 year old father who is diabetic and well 95 had a post op follow appointment at 3. Got there at 2:45 and we were told the doctor was running 30 minutes late. A call would have been nice but that is not their«policy.» it was 101 degrees. We waited and waited and my poor dad did not see the doctor till after… 5. We did not get out till near 6! The original hospital surgery went faster. I have talked with other clients who no longer use them due to this being a chronic issue. There are medical reasons at times but this was awful. No one even once told us how long it was going to be. Try making a doctor wait for three hours, let me know how that goes. The doctor tried to apologize but his sincerity was lacking. He seemed angry that we were not happy.
