David Drucker, MD, PC

A huge waste of time. I made an appointment for Monday morning and had to take off work in order to make that appointment. I was called on Monday morning and told that the doctor who was supposed to see me wasn’t going to make it in but that they would still be able to accommodate me. I let them know that I needed to be into work and would need to be done by 12pm. She told me that it wouldn’t be a problem and moved my appointment back a half hour.
I showed up at 10:30am to a full waiting room. I checked in and the person at the front desk didn’t mention anything about a back up. About 15 minutes later, they called me to the desk to fill out my paper work and I asked how much longer it would be. He told me 40 min to an hour and asked if I would like to reschedule… ya, no thanks.
This was my first time going to Drucker Eyes and they lost my future business before I even saw a doctor.
I wouldn’t bother wasting your time with this one unless you have an entire day to waste waiting for an exam.

This is a very professional, clean office. My eye exam was VERY thorough and my new prescription is the best I’ve had in years. One thing that would have been helpful was if one of the staff would have given me an overview of the different rooms I’d be in, the tests I’d be taking, and what these tests mean. I felt a bit bounced around from one room to the other, and saw the actual eye doctor for a very short period of time, which seemed unusual. However, everyone was highly professional and clearly knew what they were doing. I am quite pleased and will return next year for my exam. Parking is readily available and very close by.

Dr. Hamburger performed my PRK procedure about a year ago. I am incredibly pleased with the results and even referred a good friend of mine here and she had her surgery earlier this year.
I’ve read several other reviews on here that have been down on Dr. Hamburger’s demeanor or style, but I have to say, this is one of the things I loved most about my experience. He is relaxed and thorough all at the same time. We discussed the various types of laser vision correction surgeries, his preferences, the pros and cons of each, etc. so when I left after my initial consultation I felt educated on what would be involved in the procedure.
On surgery day, I got some major nerves and he did a wonderful job of calming me down. I felt completely prepared for the post-​op recovery and what to expect in terms of pain, drops/​products to use, returning to work, driving, etc.
I have and will continue to refer friends considering LASIK/​PRK to this practice.

This was my first visit and had scheduled an appt through the website. I was a little nervous when I saw the reviews on Dr Hamburger since I knew that was who my appt was with. He ended up being really nice and easy to talk to about my concerns. Nothing like he was mentioned in some other reviews.
I gave it a 4 out of 5 because the receptionist who checked me in wasn’t exactly welcoming and apparently they had my appt down as an eye exam (I wasn’t there for an exam).

I’ve been coming to this office for quite some time, and I have received excellent service throughout for both glasses and eye exams. I recently read through the reviews here and noticed some very impassioned (and a little hysterical) reactions to Dr.Hamburger. I was shocked. While I can’t speak to the others experiences, I can say that Dr. H is highly intelligent, professional, and very funny. I’ve seem him several times, and I always leave with a feel very well taken care of and pleased with my visit. In the things that matter, namely his medical ability and skill level, he excels. I do really love his personality as well, but if you’re the kind of person who really needs their hand held during a routine eye exam, perhaps you need to hold yourself accountable for your role in a bad experience with another.

Just wrapped up my annual exam. Everyone in the Drucker office/​practice makes me smile! They take time to care and know. Totally professional and friendly.

Went for my first visit and had a great time, booked online with zocdoc got a call right away confirming apt. Parking was actually super easy in the garage right next to the office. Bob helped me get started and he was hilarious! I will most def go back!

I would not recommend seeing Dr. Hamburger. His demeanor was off putting and I did not like how he spoke to the staff in front of me. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I really liked the lady that helped me pick out my new frames. When I come back next time I will most definitely see Dr. Drucker.

Got my glasses, and they are very nice! I think they have a great selection of designer frames — though I suppose if you didn’t want to spend that sort of money, you might not be too pleased with the options. However, if you’re looking for stylish frames, it’s a great place.

I went back last week for a checkup. It’s been 8 years since I had eye surgery (PRK– similar to LASIK). I still see 20 – 20. What more could I ask for?

I went to Dr. Drucker because he was recommended by a patient of mine. I am new to the area and was looking to establish a eye doctor. I went there because I wanted a second opinion regarding an eye condition. When I made the appointment I told them what I needed and was very clear that it was a condition that needed surgery and I didn’t not need a annual exam.
Dr. Drucker concurred and stated that it was a simple procedure and we could schedule a date for the surgery.
I am a very anxious patient and repeatedly told the front dest person, assistant and dr Drucker. He even wrote me a rx for my anxiety.
The night before the surgery I get a confirmation call that states I have an eye exam appt with a different md. This made me think that the office had no idea what they were doing.
The next morning I called to clarify who I was seeing. Lucky did not take the medication. They ladies had no idea what was going on they had scheduled me for a LASIK procedure consultation. They already charged me my copay with dr Drucker and were going to charge me again with the other Dr that isn’t even qualified to do eye surgeries.
I completely lost trust in the office. I felt like Dr Drucker was more concerned with elective procedures then actually addressing the patients chief complaint. He would rather have his associate do his exams that he feels are less productive so he can concentrate on the procedures that make him more money. I understand that as doctor matures in his practice it is known that they will pass some simple procedures to their associates. But this appt was made with a doctor that is not qualified to perform surgeries. If this office can’t get their schedule right, how can I trust them with my eyes!
If he would have treated my cheif complaint and I would have probably done my LASIK surgery with him. But instead he lost my trust and didn’t seem to care that he lost a patient. He would have made close to $ 7000.00, if all about the money. Because he lost my trust he made an office visit.
As a health care provider myself, I advise you to please make sure you have trust in people that are going to work on you. Don’t just go somewhere because your insurance covers it. It is important to feel comfortable with your provider. If it doesn’t feel right the first visit don’t be afraid to go somewhere else.
My eyes are sad after this experience from him. I have decided to get the procedure done with my dr back home. I am willing to fly home to get this «simple» procedure done because I have value there. In or out of network I am willing to pay whatever to ensure quality work. It is worth every penny to go somewhere were they are more concerned about your health then making money off of elective procedures.

LEFT IN TEARS!!! Today was my first visit to this office. Came in for my annual eye exam by the recommendation of a friend (though she had recommended Dr. Drucker, but my appointment was made with Dr. Hamburger.)
Pros: Only 5 minutes from my house with free parking and reminders via e-​mail, text, and a phone call. Front desk staff was friendly and welcoming when I arrived. Bob, the Technician, is the sweetest, most patient technician I have ever met! He made me feel relaxed and at ease, which is an impressive and welcoming skill for a doctor’s office! I always have anxiety going to the doctor, but Bob talked me through each step, without any judgment or hesitation!
Cons: Dr. Hamburger is impatient, condescending, and not willing to explain procedures.
The Experience: Bob (the primary technician) called my name and I followed him to the back. He introduced himself and presented himself professionally and warmly. I asked him if he could tell me what he was going to do before each procedure, and he not only agreed, but did it in a very kind and patient manner, which I really appreciated. He made me feel at ease throughout each step. After looking at my eyes through a machine, he took me into a room where he did an eye exam (Does 1 or 2 look better, 3 or 4, etc), then he said he was going to put drops in my eyes. I asked him what the were and get told me they were numbing drops so he could check the pressure. (Which, of course, I asked HOW the pressure would be checked.) I asked if he could drop them into the inner corner and I could blink them in. He warmly agreed, with no judgment. I was nervous about the pressure test, but he was so patient and reassured me that it would be quick and painless… and he was right. Then he dilated my eyes and said Dr. Hamburger would be in shortly.
I only waited maybe 5 – 10 minutes before a man with glasses (who I recognized as Dr. Hamburger from the brochure in the waiting room), walked in and said, «Hey.» (I thought that was kind of a weird introduction, but assumed he was the type of doctor whose philosophy was informal, to make the patient feel relaxed in a medical atmosphere.) I think I said something about this being my first time here, because then he extended his hand and introduced himself. He asked why I had come in and I told him for my annual exam, though I didn’t come in last year because I had a baby. He didn’t respond, but instead reached for a bottle of eye drops and told me to lay my head back. I asked him what they were and, seemingly annoyed that I asked the question, he said that they were numbing drops to check the pressure of my eye as well as for any dryness. I told him that Bob had just done the same thing and get said, «Well, there is nothing written down and Bob is not a doctor. I am.» I told him that I would rather not do it again and he just looked at me with a look of pure annoyance and disgust. He told me, «You came to ME to get MY evaluation, so I need to check the pressure in your eyes if you want me to do this exam.» I again said I would rather not go through the pressure exam again and he sighed heavily and shook his head. He said the drops need to go in regardless so he can look in my eye. I agreed that he could look just not another pressure test. When I asked if he could put the drops into the corner of my eye to blink in, his agitation flared, though he complied but missed, so not much went in.
His condescending and unprofessionalism, lack of compassion, patience and bedside manner hit me all at once and I started bawling– an ugly, uncontrollable sob. He didn’t even bat an eye. In fact it just added to his annoyance. He picked up the phone and told Bob to come to the exam room. Bob came in, verified to Dr. Hamburger that he did, in fact, do the pressure test and put it into the computer. Bob glanced my way and gave me a concerned look. Dr. Hamburger said; «Then that is all» and Bob left. Dr. Hamburger slid over, examined my eyes (through my tears), mumbled that not all the drops got in my eyes enough to stain them. He sat back with a great sigh and asked in a disgusted voice if I needed a moment. I told him to please just finish. He said he didn’t understand why I was upset. I told him a little compassion and patience would serve him well with his patients and he angrily replied that he IS a compassionate person. The exam was over quickly and he asked if I had any questions. He said that I probably wouldn’t return to see him, but that it’s important to continue to get my eyes examined every year.
Dr. Hamburger gets 0 stars; the 2 stars are for Bob and the front desk receptionist who checked me in. I would give Bob 5 stars if he was a separate entity on Unilocal.Sorry for the incredibly long review, but I just don’t want anyone else to experience this! It was humiliating!

Dr. Drucker performed PRK on both of my eyes 12 years ago and I had great results! No more contacts or glasses for me. Although I still get my sunglasses from Myoptics, the optical next to the office.
I have been going to Dr. Drucker for many years now and return for my annual visits. I really haven’t had any negative experiences with the front office staff. Sometimes insurance issues arise, but often it is the insurance companies fault and not the office. The waiting room is much better than most doctors offices. It has huge windows and tall ceilings so it feels light and open.
I think Dr. Drucker is super friendly and knowledgable when it comes to medical issues. I would only trust my eye care to an MD and recommend Dr. Drucker to all my friends.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Drucker for 7 years and have always had a great experience. His office sends me reminders for my eye exams and Dr. Drucker is one of those rare docs that is both highly skilled and great with patients. Their office is very convenient down town and I have gotten 2 pairs of glasses in the optical that I love and likely never would have picked out without the style input of the staff.
I have to disagree with the some other reviews. I’ve gone to the mall optical before, but I prefer to see a surgeon like Dr. Drucker and much prefer the feel of a family office to the dime a dozen chain stores.
It’s like Cheers where everybody knows your name, but only with stylish glasses and good medical staff…

The staff at this office is definitely a challenge; it must be a office culture thing and Drs. Drucker and Hamburger would definitely benefit from trying to fix this problem.
Medical care wise, my husband saw Dr. Hamburger several times in an emergency sort of situation. He is pretty serious and all business; but after a while he warms up and is a great guy. I will be going here for my own eye exams in the future.

Horrible! The eye technician dilated and numbed my eyes without even asking! I’ve had problems ordering contacts ever since too. This place feels so cheesy, cheap and dated — it’s hard to believe its in such a hip area of town. I will not be back next year!

The staff here enjoys fighting and gossiping with one another more than taking care of patients. I also waited 30 minutes past my appointment time before being seen and all total the entire appointment took almost 2 hours.
Dr, Hamburger is nice, knowledgeable and efficient but the rest of the staff there is lacking. I wouldn’t go back.

Overall this office left me with a feeling of frustration. The office staff turnover is unbelievable and rather telling. My appointment times were screwed up severl times and they refused to see me. My glasses are over-​corrected while my contacts are under. This place is not worth it.

I had a pretty good experience with Dr. Drucker’s office. I did not see Dr. Drucker, but one of his associates, Dr. Hamburger. He was very nice and efficient. The people at the front desk were friendly and the technician that worked with me was extremely nice. I also thought the ladies that helped me select my glasses were helpful and friendly.
There are two reasons why I took a star off their rating. The first is that I did have to wait quite a while between seeing the technician and seeing the doctor. They also do not have a lot of options for glasses in the My Optics portion of the office. This was fine with me, but if you need a lot of options before selecting a pair of glasses, then you should take your prescription somewhere else.
Previous comments said the office pushed other services, but I did not have that experience at all. I was asked if I had considered Lasik (which I would expect any eye office to do) and when I said I wasn’t ready to take that step, they just said let us know when you do consider it. That was it.
The office is also a convenient location for me so I’m willing to wait a little longer if it means I can walk there.
Overall, good experience and I recommend going there for your eye care services.

When I first walked into Dr. Drucker’s office and signed in on the clipboard, there were questions that asked me if I wanted Botox, LASIK, or other cosmetic procedures. I looked in the mirror quickly to make sure that my lips were not sagging. (They were not, horray!) I circled «NO.» Then the receptionist asked me to fill out a form for new patient information. There were all these questions about Botox and LASIK again. Isn’t this an optometrist’s office? Anyway, I circled «NO» again. I sat down in the waiting room and was immediately bombarded with posters and commercials about Botox, LASIK, microdermabrasion, cellulite contouring, and bikini waxes. Geez, these people do not give up!
When I was picking out a pair of glasses, Marco, an optician, offered to help. They have a pretty small collection of frames, mostly brand names like Gucci and Bebe. He showed me several frames ranged $ 200-​$ 300. When I told him that I did not want to spend more than $ 200 on a frame, his tone immediately changed and said that he didn’t have anything for me. I looked around myself and found some $ 150’s that he did not show me. There was a glitch with my insurance not covering for glasses this year, and Marco told me it’s because my insurance only pays for glasses every 2 years, which was completely not true. When I asked him to check with my insurance company, he never did, and I myself had to call my insurance company to clarify. I ended up picking out my glasses from Target Optical… they have name brands like DKNY, Nicole Miller, and Ray-​Ban for $ 90 – 130.
I last saw Dr. Pollard for my annual eye exam; he messed up on my prescription and refused to fix it without charging me another $ 100. The other optometrists may be more competent, but every time I’m there, I can’t help but feel that they are trying to milk as much money out of me as possible. When I got home, I also noticed that they charged me for two co-​pays on my credit card, argh! Also, what kind of optometrist office can be qualified to do Botox or bikini waxes??? Scary. Don’t risk looking like a monster from their treatments… Halloween’s over.
1 star off: trying to sell me Botox
