Dr. Garfinkel is an outstanding physician who is also friendly and approachable and takes the time to thoroughly answer questions in laymen's terms. He has treated 2 retinal tears for me, and I follow up with him every 6 months. I highly recommend Dr. Garfinkel and his practice.

I was taken back for the beginning of my examinations immediately upon arrival. After numbing and dilation, a pressure and vision test were performed. After those tests I was escorted to waiting area and almost immediately pictures were taken of my retinas. Then escorted to another waiting area to wait for Dr Garfinkle. I was called to the exam room almost immediately to wait for the Dr. who arrived about 5 minutes later. My exam was completed and sent to checkout for payment and arrange for a future appointment. This whole process took less than 45 minutes from start to finish. GREAT SERVICE!

Dr Garfinkel is a STAR. Best ever. His only shortcoming is that his opthomologic competence has not solved my inability to continually make 30 foot putts. He’s working on it!
