I had an unpleasant experience on my last visit. The nurse who attended on me kept criticizing me for my every mistake. Maybe she lacks patience working with senior people.

Dr. Shefkind is an excellent ophthalmologist in all regards. His exams are thorough, professional with honest evaluations and his demeanor is courteous and patient. My husband and I are so fortunate to have him as our ophthalmologist and we highly recommend him.

Everyone in the office was very welcoming and very professional. I did not have to wait past my appointment time can often happen at a doctor's office. The results of my eye exam were explained to me and felt comfortable asking any questions I had. I'd definitely recommend this practice to anyone needed and ophthalmologist.

I am very pleased with the service I have received from Dr. Mark. He checked the condition of my eyes and the care he gave me since my first visit about 18 months ago; there have not been any problems. So, every six months, I see him to make sure there are no problems.

I feel fortunate to have been a patient of his and his staff for two decades. My eyes are in good hands.

Calm, not nervous experience. Staff was wonderful.

He is the best! Dr. Schefkind and his well trained staff have established an organized routine to serve well the many patients scheduled every day. When he meets with you after you have had a thorough screening by staff, he looks you in the eye and tells you what is going on, answers your questions and suggests future steps. Best remark he can make is “ see you in a year!

I was pleased with my experience at Schefkind Eye Center. Everyone was professional and explained all procedures well.

Jan 26, 2025
Dr. Schefkind did my cataract surgery. I was given written materials about the procedure and a clear schedule. All my questions were answered and the surgery went well. My vision is clear. I was not surprised because he has been my eye doctor for many years and I have always felt confident with his work.

Jan 26, 2025
As always, Dr. Schefkind is professional, kind and explains in detail what has been done and what will be done in the future. He also has a way of putting me at ease and makes the visit comfortable.

Outstanding

Jan 14, 2025
Dr Schefkind is a really understanding and thorough doctor who doesnt just give me his one course of action but rather describes an approach to try one method/treatment, but allows for Plans B and C right from the outset. I like that.

I've been visiting Dr. Schefkind for over 2 years and have been extremely pleased. He is very thorough, pleasant and takes the time to discuss the results of your exam and answers your questions. He discovered some issue that my previous Ophthalmologist didn't mention to me. The office staff is pleasant and you do not have to wait long before you see Dr. Schefkind.

Dr Schefkin has patiently guided me thru significant vision changes. Mostly aging-related my vision changes might have been intimidating, but Dr Schefkind explains the options available and always makes sure I’m prepared. I trust him with my eyes.

Nov 28, 2024
Very easy and very well done. Highly recommended to all people!

Excellent service. Very professional

Nov 26, 2024
We had a very good discussion about the cataract slowly forming over my right eye. His recommendation was to hold off on surgery for another year because right now any improvement would be barely noticeable. I found this to be reasonable and helpful, especially given my advanced age of 82.

Nov 23, 2024
If you are looking for the best.............you found it here.

Nov 21, 2024
Dr. Schefkind has been my "go to" Opthamologist for about ten years now. I recently needed cataract surgery with him, and it just could not have gone better. I felt totally informed up front about my options, the process, and what I need to do to prepare. Dr. Schefkind's staff is very efficient and informative, and The Walker Lane Surgical Center and everyone I encountered there made it a very smooth process. I could not be happier or more grateful to Dr. Schefkind, his staff, and the surgical center for his ongoing care, and for making this experience a positive on.

Nov 20, 2024
Dr. Schefkind and his staff are very thorough during my annual eye check up. I am confident that even with my SPED he will take good care of my eyes.

Nov 18, 2024
All staff helpful and took time to explain things. Dr. Schefkind in particular took the time to to help sort out a medical issue I had.
