Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Fromer is a very patient, pleasant and fantastic doctor. I had a freak sport accident 5 yrs ago with my left eye( partial torn retina) . Dr. Fromer operated on me and basically safe my ( left) eye sight. Just had my annual check eye check up and it’s doing great . I’m so grateful dr Fromer for his excellent care.

Visit with Dr. Fromer
Dr. Fromer and the Eye Center staff are all terrific. My only complaint is the long periods of time spent in the waiting room. I had a 3:30 PM appointment for my annual checkup and I wasn't able to leave the office until nearly 6:30 PM.

PRK
Before surgery: Comprehensive evaluation and easy to follow consultation whether PRK is right for you. No pressure. During surgery: Flawless process with calm step by step explanations of what is happening (which you want to hear if someone takes a laser to your eyes….). After surgery: Easy but comprehensive after surgery treatments and consultation.Glad I did it!

Exceptional & Exemplary
I've depended on Dr. Fromer and his associates for several years, and everything about them and their facility is as good as it gets. Their knowledge, their command of their profession and technology, and their unfailingly pleasant, calm, and explanatory interplay makes ease and relaxation of what might be -- in the company of less adept. informed, and kind people -- a challenge. One couldn't find better care than that offered by Dr. Fromer and his staff, from reception to check-out and everyone in between.

I've been a patient for more than 20 years. The only issue is the wait time. I try to have the first appointment of the day. Dr. Fromer is smart but can be a little arrogant. He knows his stuff. I feel very confident about his medical decisions and expertise. The staff members are very nice and caring.

I was referred to Dr. Fromer by a colleague, once his colleague could no longer help me. Dr. Fromer seemed concerned with my condition he assured me he would save my vision. When this all started I was able too see from both eye's. After many visits (approx. 3 yrs.) many injection's 3 surgeries I was left blind in 1 eye and only approx. 30% of vision in the other eye. At my last visit I was told by him people loose limb's everyday you will have to deal with it. The worst experience ever.

I did not see Dr. Mark fromer. But went to his practice, Fromer eye center. If you have any other option, I urge you to use them. i have had eye problems since early childhood and know the difference between good and bad care. Do not go here if you want good care. I would not be surprised if they were a Medicaid/ Medicare mill.i will not return and, if you have other options, use them.
