Stuart Sondheimer, M.D.

Dr. Sondheimer is a masterful eye surgeon who did a wonderful analysis and evaluation of my eyes. We discussed available procedures such as a monovision correction which I discovered was not for me when I did a test run with eye glasses to see what it would be like. I have been wearing eye glasses at full strength and am ready to have a PRK surgery any day now. I like that Dr. Sondheimer took time to get me prepared for surgery as I came into his office originally with an under powered eye prescription and was not seeing the full range of clarity of a full resolution prescription. He understood that I needed to crawl before I could walk and hasn’t rushed into the procedure without my eyes taking time to adapt to a full prescription. If you want a eye surgeon who cares enough about your well being to take time until you are ready for surgery than Dr. Sondheimer is the surgeon to consult with.

Dr. Sondheimer is as friendly as he is professional and knowledgeable. He and his staff deserve way more than 5 stars!

Dr. Sondheimer performed an expensive procedure to put plugs in my tear ducts to reduce dryness when wearing my contacts. Not only did this not fix the problem, but I developed BAD infections in both eyes from the plugs, which he had to surgically and painfully remove; and charged me to do so. Then, one year after my initial appointment, he REFUSED to authorize a refill of my contact lens prescription and tried to hold me hostage to another expensive routine eye exam. STAY AWAY FROM HIM. Also, I got tired of listening to him talk about his investment philosophy.

Once in a great while you come across medical care practiced as it should be — focused on helping the patient. Dr. Sondheimer and his staff went so far out of their way to make sure I received the critical attention I needed as to stay in touch from his home over a long holiday weekend. He called other doctors and chased them down until appointments were made and problems were solved.
It’s possible that I owe my ability to see today directly to Dr. Sondheimer’s careful and persistent attention. I can give no higher recommendation. I wish I could.
