Patient Reviews
Aug 01, 2021
He is an outstanding ophthalmological surgeon. It is my pleasure to highly recommend Dr Schechter, for anyone who need Eye Surgery. You couldn't find a more caring and compassionate doctor. He restored my confidence in the medical profession all the way through Pre & Post Surgery of my eye cataract removal, and lens replacement; he never once doubted my successful recovery. He cautioning me on all the do's and don'ts for a successful recovery after surgery. In addition, his medical assistants were excellent towards me throughout the process along with all of the his other office staff. My wife and I both thank you very much for your calm demeanor, total confidence, and providing a total care office environment. Everything was done at the Eye Institute facility and reviewed minutes later with me as a patient. You are the best Dr Schechter! Many thanks to you and your excellent staff. I have a new lease on seeing, reading, and best of all, totally independent of wearing glasses.
