Amazing! Dr. Schefkind is so kind and attentive. He saw me on an emergency basis and made me feel super comfortable. He listened to me and remembered our conversation from the first time he saw me. The woman that helped me at the front desk was wonderful!

While the doctors here are technically excellent, the practice is a mess. Poorly managed and chaotic. Always a long wait at appointment time. Surly, bossy and unpleasant woman who schedules surgeries. Lack of coordination across the team. Billing is confusing. I feel badly writing this as I have tried to stick with them through a series of mis-steps, and I think most of them mean well, but something here is just off. Getting eye care shouldn't raise your blood pressure. There are other, less stressful options.

I was very impressed with Dr. Chay and his staff. My mother has dementia They spoke in terms that she could understand, and were very patient, kind, and caring. I would have given them five stars, but his assistant, Loraine was not so kind. I tried to explain to her a problem we were having with medication. She cut me off and was very condescending. It was very embarrassing and frustrating. The next visit I told her how I and my mother felt about the previous appointment, her response was"yep". Disappointed that we had this experience. Overall, Dr. Chay is excellent.

I had cataracts removed from both my right and left eyes. I opted to have the laser surgery for both. Both procedures went smoothly without any problems either during the surgery or after. Dr Edward Chay was my surgeon and I would recommend him faithfully. The Schefkind practice is efficiently ran and I had a very satisfying experience with all concerned. I am so happy with the result and I am so very glad I had this procedure. Being able to see like I can now is something I could not have imagined before. Thank you to Schefkind for making this experience so positive.

In 2017, I had a torn retina and a year later I couldn't see a thing out of my left eye. I was referred to Dr. Chay and he performed Cataract surgery a couple of months later. The experience that I had was amazing. I was able to see clearly within a day. Dr. Chay and the staff was warm, attentive and professional. Lastly, Anna was also a jewel..... A huge thank you to Schefkind Eye Care.
