Patient Reviews
Nov 13, 2024
Went to Doctor Garber twice over the last 10-15 years for different eye problems. The first time I went to him suspecting a sinus condition. Dismissed me as having blepharitis. After a few years of eye infections I finally went to a sinus doctor for treatment and eye issues are much better. So after that experience I was primed when I went to him recently for my eye blackening out, an ischemic attack apparently. He told me to just come back if it stays that way. I didn't think that was safe, to wait for that to happen, so I went for a second opinion to another opthomologist. He checked out my eyes, which were fine, and then referred me on to a cardiologist where I now am getting checked out.Dr Garber seems to be just lazer-focused on the eye itself and doesn't seem to want to address any possible underlying issues.
