It’s always refreshing to visit Dr. Karlin’s office. They work together like a well oiled machine which is pretty much non-existent these days, from my recent experiences with medical offices. They’re friendly and efficient. Dr. Karlin is great. Personable and professional. I might not mind dealing with medical appointments if they were all this way. More

My visit, with Dr. Karlin, was first rate, however the wait time was not. It took over an hour to get in to see him, for the actual examination. More

The first tech was a little rude but everyone else, including Dr. Karlin were great. More

Good exam with Dr. Karlin and assisting staff members. Thorough and professional. Was confused by the fact that the associate setting up my next appointment tried to bill me $142 for this visit. I explained I had been coming here every 4 months for the past 2 years and had never been asked to pay onsite. I told her that I have Medicare Supplemental Insurance in addition to Medicare. She asked me, "Will they cover it?" In the past, the Supplemental Insurance has always covered what Medicare does not pay. She said ... Read More More

Dr Karlin has the sweetest staff. They’re all so friendly and kind. The office seems very busy when you walk in, but there are several drs in the office and it runs like a well oiled machine. It’s a wonderful office and I’m sorry I only need to go once a year. More

Dr.Karlin is great. You are understaffed in the optical glass department when you go to buy or try on glasses. The staff was friendly. Victoria is overwhelmed and should prioritize who comes in first before others. She was professional. More

Dr. D. Karlin is one of the best eye drs. My experience is more thanExcellent More

I'm very lucky to be a patient of Dr. Karlin. He is truly caring, knowledgeable, professional and skilled doctor. More

Very excellent diagnosis and I received contact lenses on the spot that were perfect for my needs. Dr Karlin is excellent and very comprehensive in his analysis and examination. I had cataract surgery from him and now my vision is excellent. More

I do appreciate Dr. Karlin and have been a patient of his for over 30 years. I have found him to be courteous, friendly, professional and I trust him completely with my vision. However, the wait for my appt. was quite long....more than 30 minutes which I would not have minded so much, except that the temperature in the office was freezing cold and I could do nothing about it. Next time I will bring a sweater, at least. More

My dr I’d Dr Karlin for the last 4pm years and we would not change More

Had everything that needed to be done: tests, prescription, spoke with Dr. Karlin, he answered all my questions and everyone was polite.I already recommended Dr. Karlin to a friend who underwent laser surgery and she is very happy with the results and the care she received. More

My experience at this office has been wonderful.Dr Zeegan and dr Karlin are both excellent doctors and i feel i get the utmost best care . Would highly recommend this office.

More

Very polite and responsive stuff. Professional. Everyone is alert, no waits, no-nonsense. This was refreshing for an office that large ( they have several doctors). I was seen by Dr. Karlin, who was very sociable, energetic, and receptive. Responded to every concern I had, didn't sell me anything. They ran full tests on my eyes to make sure I don't have any hidden issues. I have some astigmatism which I rather not wear glasses for, so he just told me I didn't have to for now, if I feel comfortable without. More

We have been patients of Dr. Karlin for years. Each visit is professional yet friendly. He has our utmost trust. More

My review is only for doctor Karlin and doctor Smith. I don't understand the "one star" comments when their complaints are clearly related to the front desk or someone else at that office! I was first examined by doctor Smith which is a kind and gentle doctor with a great sense of humor. Afterwards, doctor Karlin came in and greeted me with warmth. He was unpretentious and made me feel comfortable..Dr. Karlin is thorough, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring with great bedside manner. I was so down when I saw Dr. Karlin because I was told by another ophthalmologist that I had a tumor in my left eye. I wanted a second opinion so I made an appointment with Dr. Karlin. After he finished his examination, he reviewed my MRI, then he told me that there was no tumour in my eye. He told me that I was suffering from silent sinus syndrome (my sinuses were not being drained properly) and I had to see an ENT. He also gave me a referral to see an ENT. Words cannot describe my feelings when I heard I didn't have a tumor. I was able to finally sleep that night. I cannot thank Dr. Karlin enough! More

As usual, wait time was a little more than expected. Optometrist was a little less cold in her interactions than in the past, but, not very friendly. All assistants were very friendly and appeared to be efficiently completing tasks. Dr. Karlin was a pleasure as he examined my eyes, gave his opinion of my good progress and let me know when to schedule my next appointment. More

Dr. Karlin is amazing/ very caring and attentive. More

I think very highly of Dr. Karlin. He is a better doctor than my own internist. More

I have been a patient of Dr Karlin. I see him yearly for my eye checkup. He is very thorough and easy to communicate with. He lets me know of his findings. I am very satisfied with his service. More

All around,it was a great visit. More

Dr. Karlin is very patient and takes his time with you. Very good Dr. More

I went there for a routine eye exam as it had been 4 years since my last one.  They did a few tests and found about what I expected, that my distance vision was still near perfect and my near vision was not.  Dr. Karlin and the other staff were very nice and asked me a lot more questions that I expected.  I’ll keep going there sometimes in the future as I am sure my eyes are going to keep wearing down with age.  I was getting a bit concerned because I can’t read anything anymore without my glasses on but...apparently this problem is not anything serious. More

My first time to your office, Dr. Karlin and all the nurses were excellent! More

I saw Dr Karlin. Wonderful Doctor who figured out my problem and did a terrific job of fixing it. More

This office fit me in for a same-day appointment with Dr. Karlin. I had a great experience despite the pain I was in. Dr. Karlin asked a lot of questions, was a good listener, gentle and friendly. He actually reminded me of my dad. I felt confident in his diagnosis and treatment. So glad to have found the right doctor for my issue, especially since it sounds like it may be recurring. More

Please note: Dr. J. David Karlin, the doctor I had appointment with was not listed above. My appointment was encouraging and polite as before and I would recommend Dr. Karlin with highest regard. More

Firstly, I love Dr. karlin. Secondly I do not like the staff insisting I wear a paper maks . I have a plastic shield face mask that Dr. Karlin had no problem with and he said he relly liked it. The manager , uoon my leaving, told me I had to wear a paper mask. I told him I was fully vaccinated. It effing annoys me that they want to control me and my choice. All the folks ther should be cvaccinated by now. just becasue the plastic mask does not fit snugly around . I'm not sick and no one else is who is in htere. it's not a crowded office . I am still an american citizen and have rights to make my own choice about which type of mask i choose to wear. No one else has ever had a problem with it and I wear it everywhere. IF a business tells me I won;t be seen if I donlt wear thier mask then they really don;t want my business nor do they are about my eye health. It's all about the damn mask. not my eyes. Mya rating of 10 is for the Dr. not the mask control. More

Dr Karlin is great. As is his staff. Very professional and nice. Except Claudia in optical. Not nice Very curt and unfriendly. When I asked her a question about my reading glasses I wasn’t understanding her answer. So instead of her trying to explain it to me , she stated “I’m not going back and forth.” Again, not nice and unfriendly. This was not expected. More

Not too long of a wait. Dr. Karlin knew exactly how to treat my issue based on my previous visit a year prior. More

Always recommend Dr. Karlin to my friends and family More

This is just a short Note to express my astonishing success story after being treated by Dr. David Aizuss, for cataract surgery during the very late part of November and early December 2019. My first contact was with the outrageously efficient and compassionate Jeanie Clarke, who is Dr. A's Surgical Coordinator. Jeanie is and was the best at keeping me informed of all aspects of my visits and future visits to their offices. Jeanie coordinated all aspects of pre-surgical and post-surgical appointments, and was on top of all matters pertaining to eye drops, appointments, drug interactions, and my expectations both before and after the surgeries. I cannot say enough good things about this very talented and skilled individual - who is really the first person a patient interfaces with when scheduling your eye surgery. So, everyone down or up the line in terms of staff, was cheerful, knowledgeable and well-schooled in the science of handling eye patients. All exams were conducted in the most professional manner and all aspects of the OAV were operated in the most efficient and skilled manner. All of the equipment used to measure, calibrate and record eye measurements leading up to the analysis of surgical vs. non-surgical intervention were "state-of-the-art" - and impressive. Even the Out-Patient facility utilized by Dr. Aizuss (Freedom Eye Surgical Center) was truly state-of-the-art and operated by the most qualified and experienced individuals. The Staff, surgical nurses and receptionists were highly trained in this specific area and nothing fell through the cracks. Now, as far as Dr. David Aizuss, he truly is my newest "Hero". Dr. A performed Intra Ocular Lens Implantation on my right and left eyes, one-week apart. The entire surgical experience was conducted in the most professional manner, with Dr. A explaining all aspects of the procedures I was about to undergo. I had pre-surgical exams and on the day of each surgery, I was treated like a member of the family - with all staff members expertly handling their own separate and distinct area of the surgical process. The actual surgery was completely painless, and I was given a thorough explanation of each and every aspect of what to expect while under the Laser and during the implant process. In each instance, Dr. A's explanation was thorough, comprehensive and understandable. Nothing was left as "guess-work" and I was prepared for each exam and each surgical procedure. Just one-day after each IOL was implanted I was restored to having excellent vision - pain free. I was overwhelmed by the new colors I was able to see and the visual acuity was astounding. As a few days went by I was even more amazed at how excellent my vision had been restored by Dr. A. Just one day after my second (left) eye was restored with an IOL, I was seeing colors and reading signs I was not able to see for the past 4 -5 years. Everything was bright and beautiful, and most particularly, in incredible focus. In conclusion, this was the very best result I could have hoped for, and Dr. A and his entire Staff of highly educated and specially trained personnel were the best anyone could have wished for. This was a nearly miraculous experience and one which I will always remember. My vision is terrific and still getting better each day. Thanks to everyone associated with Dr. Aizuss and OAV... Eric S. Gordon - I approve of this message... More

My parents, my husband and myself are patients of Dr Aizuss, for over 10 years. He is very personable and caring toward his patients. His office and staff are very organized and friendly. I highly recommend Dr David Aizuss. More
