Patient Reviews
Mar 31, 2024
I arrived in the office for an optometry appointment with severe eye pain after swimming in a chlorinated pool. The optometrist had not arrived and I requested being seen immediately by an ophthalmologist, which was denied by the receptionist. At my next appointment with Dr. Kapner, he supported the denial because that would have messed up their schedule (and patients already have a long wait because they routinely overbook).
