Block your day if you're visiting this office. Extremely long wait time but it's worth the wait. Dr Rabin runs all the necessary tests while being mindful of what insurance will cover. He also has excellent diagnostic skills. Throughout the years I've tried other ophthalmologists and kept returning to Dr Rabin to either "fix" or resolve an issue addressed by another doctor. Trust me, most likely you will not receive this level of testing, thoroughness and skill elsewhere. He's now retiring and a doctor that has been working with him for several years is taking over. I'm hoping that she will be able to carry Dr Rabin's unique skills onward, while improving the wait time and level of staff professionalism.

DONT GO HERE IF YOU VALUE YOUR TIME. If I could give this place -5 I would, the waiting times are insane. They will have you wait 2-5 hours just for a quick visit and it has been going on for 3+ years. very inconsiderate of people’s time and they have a lot of elderly there; so unfair to them. They don’t follow actual appointment times just a sign in sheet so doesn’t matter when you get there. Super unprofessional.
I used to be a patient here back and I bought my mom here once before therefore I took my her again, mind you my mom doesn’t have insurance so I’m paying put of pocket. They took about 2 hours or more to see my mother, she kept asking how much more she had to wait and the receptionist up front didn’t even give the folder to the doctor that’s why they took even longer. On top I discovered that they gave us the same prescription she had from 3 years ago. The doctor didn’t really care to try other measurements. Really upset because I paid for nothing.
Expect a very, very long wait. Dr Rabin is a true professional. He's been my ophthalmologist for almost 3 decades. Since it's difficult to get an urgent appointment at times, I would see other ophthalmologists only to soon regret it and find myself at Dr Rabin's office to help resolve the issue, sometimes issues that had worsen from incorrect treatment elsewhere. He's a busy doctor but he will listen to what you have to say. Again, expect a very, very long wait & no wi-fi or cell phone service in the office. It's worth the wait since he's thorough at diagnosing. Just be prepared to wait for hours. Block your entire morning and afternoon, even if you have the first appointment of the day.
