Salkin Ruth OD

I’ve been going to Dr. Salkin for about 20-​years. Hand-​down she’s a great healthcare professional. Extremely competent Optometrist who always takes the time to be thorough in her care of my eyes from proper fitting contact lenses to screening for overall eye health.
Dr. Salkin provides her cell number to patients and in my experience has always called back if not immediately within 5 – 10 min. during off-​hours when her office is closed.
For the past 10 years I’ve lived about an hour away but still make the time to come back up to N. Jersey to have her check my eyes.

Dr. Salkin is a wonderful optometrist! I can’t say enough good things about her. I have been a patient for more than 20 years and always had exceptional care and service for myself, my kids and my husband. Many of my friends and their families are also patients and all have nothing but praise for her expertise and caring treatment. And we are all grateful that she has great hours, nights and Saturday appointments, so I don’t have to take off from work.
But the real test of a good doctor, after the expertise as an optometrist, is being there when you need them and not getting told to come in during office hours a day or so later. Dr Salkin’s cell phone is on her answering machine. I had an emergency, called her and she called me back immediately and took care of my eye at her office on that Sunday morning. That’s the kind of care I want!

I love ruth! The woman who issues the glasses is also really nice :) great glasses selection! she bills both of my insurance co’s but who cares? Shes good at what she does

I had the exact same Experience about 10 years ago. She asked me if I wanted her to clean my hard contact lenses and then charged me something like $ 20 for rubbing them between her fingers. Would never ever go to her again. Wish I could give her a negative star

Visited this OD once… and only once. Is not personable and downright nasty. Also billed me OVER my co-​pay with some outrageous bogus fees. Wold NEVER go back to her and would not send my worst enemy to her. In fact, I would rather lose my vision than visit this eye doctor again…
