Terrible service! He is more than snarky and disrespectful, I have no clue where these positive reviews came from but they are far from accurate. Aside from etiquette with guest he also lacks modern frames. I called weeks ago and he said he was getting ray bans now he said not until June. If I could give him no stars I would.

Dr Lerner is the most amazing optometrist! He is a very thorough and comprehensive eye doctor. I have complete confidence in his ability to help me keep my eyes healthy and providing the best prescription for my glasses. He takes his time with each patient, so expect to be at the office for at least an hour. Believe me it is well worth the time. The time to get your glasses can vary based on the lab used. Dr Lerner's labs are the quickest, as soon as a week, but insurance company labs can take several weeks or more.

Dr. Lerner is an excellent optometrist. I would not trust my eyes with anyone else. I have seen news shows on what to look for in a good optometrist and Dr. Lerner not only meets the criteria but far exceeds it. I have some medical issues that make my eyes extra sensitive as well as being extra sensitive to how glasses fit, and Dr. Lerner has the patience to work with me to be sure that everything is right for me.
Expect to be there quite a while, but that is because his exams are quite thorough which after all is what we want for our precious sight. Getting glasses from the lab can vary in time, but that is out of his hands, it has to do with what is going on in whatever lab. Yes, I spend a long visit when I see Dr. Lerner, but it is time well spent for sure!

Dr. Lerner is a ROCK STAR inside the exam room. No other doctor has given me such a crystal-clear accurate lens prescription. His examinations are thorough, unrushed, and he explains everything in an easy-to-understand fashion. Dr. Lerner personally and quickly returns phone calls, and is always willing to 'squeeze' you in if it's an emergency or if he has a cancellation.

Love Dr. Lerner! Always remembers our last conversation, even if it's 6 months-1 year in between. Very personable guy. Frames are expensive there, but for an eye exam and contact fitting you can't go wrong.much better than the corporate operations at the mall

Appointment was for 2pm wasn't seen till 3pm. He is a one man show. Does everything from answering phones to checking insurance and seeing patients. 4 weeks later and I still don't have my glasses. I work in the medical field and this is not that way you operate.
