Friendly, professional staff. Each professional knows his or her job and does it well. Vibrating foot massager is a big draw.

I had been to three eye specialists before meeting with Dr Schechter for my severe dry eye. He was the first doctor to show compassion and empathy for my condition, and gave me the confidence to start the process of wearing scleral lenses. It took a few visits to get the lenses right (standard process for sclerals) but each time I was given the utmost care and attention. Now that I’m wearing them full-time, my quality of life has improved tremendously. I don’t think I would have proceeded with these lenses if it wasn’t for Dr Schechter, and I’m so grateful!
