Report
I visited Dr. Littzis office for a routine eye exam. When I arrived at the office, I was told the doctor was out of network with all vision insurance, so I asked if I could pay for the visit upfront and out of pocket. This was a $300+ expense, and I was told at the time that the office would not bill my medical insurance, so I paid upfront. Months later, I received another bill for $350+ for the medical portion of the billing because they ended up filing the claim with my medical insurance, which they confirmed THEY WOULD NOT DO because I had already paid out of pocket. I ended up having to

Dr Jacqueline Littzi is a first class ophthalmologist . I want to push back on all these complaints about the $50 cancellation charge . This is a Zoc Doc charge not a charge from the doctor.. Zoc Doc charges $50 and if I dont show up, that comes out of the doctor's pocket I booked my appointment through Zoc Doc and unfortunately had to cancel my appointment. The assistant explained the charge and allowed me to rebook for a future date and the charge is waived. All you have to do is reschedule and there is NO CHARGE. If you think you might cancel, dont book thru Zoc Doc, call the office directly

They had the nerve to tell me that I have to pay 50 dollars bc I decided to no longer get serviced. They didnt take my vision care card, which I thought they would seeing how they take my medical insurance plan. So I decided Id rather not have a crazy bill so I decided not to get serviced. They then tried to tell me zocdoc made a policy to charge anyone who cancels less than 24 hours, however I made the appointment in less than 24 hrs and no where on zocdoc is that disclaimer stated. They also had tons of slots open so Im sure I didnt take any inconvenient slots. Especially since I wasnt

As a patient of Dr. Littzi's for more than two decades, I highly recommend her practice. Dr. Littzi is an expert physician, she's honest and trustworthy, provides the highest standard of ophthalmic care, is extremely thorough and will spend as much time as needed to answer your questions and explain procedures in a clear and professional manner. She has even made herself available for questions after an appointment. She definitely goes above and beyond. During my last visit I had questions about an eye problem my daughter was experiencing and though she's not a patient (lives in another state)

Dr Littzi has treated my mother's glaucoma for the past three years through eye drops and surgery on both eyes. She has always been very thorough and detailed in her follow-up, as well as helped us through the various insurance paperwork to get prescriptions authorized when needed. Her office staff is responsive to our calls and emails as well! Sometimes the wait can be long in the office when she is busy, but I guess that is a good sign of a doctor taking the time needed with patients.
