I’ve been seeing Dr Forgacs for about 3-4 years now. I initially came in seeking a 2nd opinion as I had migraines after wearing my glasses for longer than 3hrs. My previous physician wanted to put me on pain meds, but I wasn’t comfortable with that. Once I went to Dr Forgacs he immediately identified that the issue was my prescription was too high, after adjusting I haven’t had the migraines since! I also see Cindy when I choose frames, she is honestly the best! She recommends frames based on your face shape and personal style. My last pair I got with her looks phenomenal and whenever I’m working in the field I get complemented on them. Dohee and Dara from the care team are amazing as well, I have an extremely hectic schedule and they do an amazing job working to get me seen. Whenever I go in I know that I’m getting proper care, next week I’ll be bringing my dad in as I know he’s in good hands at this office.

As always, very happy and secure with Dr. FORGACS ' care. He is very.thorough and patuent in his examination and provides detailed, understanable explanations. Dr. Forgacs has been caring for me for over 40 years. I fully trust his expertise. If possible I would appreciate it if he could advise me with any supplements for good eye circulation and health as well as the name if the product he mentioned he nentioned that he has for breakfast each day.

Dr. Forgacs is an excellent doctor — a professional, so thorough. I know my eyes are in the best care with him. I’ve been going to him for almost 15 years. Highly recommend!

Dr. Forgacs is amazing. He was my doctor for almost 20 years. At one point I had to leave him because insurance changed. When I was able to switch plans a few years later I made sure I chose a plan he took. He’s thorough and I’ve always felt that he genuinely cares about my eye health. I’m a little sad that I’ve had to find a new doctor recently since I moved and I no longer work in the city.

I’ve been a patient of Dr Forgacs for decades. He’s not only the most thorough Doctor I’ve ever met, he is extremely knowledgeable and has a great bedside manner. Top shelf all the way.
