Dr. Michael A. Farbowitz

I had a great experience.

Amazing service

Everything was fine. Felt too crowded at surgical center. Would be good idea to let patients know that they will have a relatively long wait for surgery.

My cataract surgery went great!

I have been coming to see Dr. Farbowitz for many years. Lately, I have been feeling rushed and he does not have the time or patience to answer questions. I understand that he is moving onto surgeries( applause, applause), and giving his patients to the optometrist. However, his lack of interest sticks out like a sore thumb. I gave him 2 stars because once upon a time, he spent time with his clients and showed genuine interest. At least I thought.

The Dr. and office staff are great!

Service, follow up and care are all great!

Excellent attention to detail

Dr. Farbowitz is a knowledgeable doctor. I have been coming here for years.

My experience with Short Hills Ophthalmology is always a positive one. Jasmine helped me set up my patient portal.

It has taken awhile for me to find the courage to write this review. Dr Farbowitz services are overpriced. He told my husband he had dry eye, it would be thousands. He saw a different doctor and was told he does not have dry eye. He wanted me to buy eye drops from him, very expensive, I bought them at CVS for a fraction of the cost. I had to sign 3 times I would not sue him, twice in his office and again at the surgical center. He removed a cataract and left for vacation afterwards. When I returned the next day, no doctor to remove my eyepatch. My eyesight was worse. I had to wait 5 days for him to return. He saw me and said to continue the drops for 2 weeks. Waited 2 weeks, he examined me again and said my retina was swollen, continue the drops. I returned after 3 weeks, he examined my eye and said to read the chart. I couldn’t. He then said “there is no medical reason for you not to be able to read the chart” loud and accusatory. From that moment I knew I would never go back to him.

Zero Stars. Zero bedside manner. Staff inconsiderate. He is cocky, rude and a Sub par eye doctor. He never answers "Important" calls. GO ELSEWHERE Read the reviews, there is a reason why so many people gave him 1 star.

Very Disappointed! I was a patient of the practice for more than 30 years under a previous doctor, and my issue is with billing with the current practice. I have always paid my bills. After one visit with Dr. Farbowitz I moved my address, and never received an invoice. I ended up paying very significant fees and all they could do was throw up their hands and say there's nothing to be done. It's a good thing I moved because I would never go back after that treatment. My issue isn't medical, but I am still a customer/patient who also deserves fairness.

PROFESSIONAL !!!!!!!!

Dr. Farbowitz was on call for my regular Opthamologist on a Saturday when I had a sudden submacular hemorrhage in my left eye and could barely see out of it. He asked me a few questions and asked me how long it would take to get to his office. He examined me and had me see a retinologist first thing Monday morning. I was able to quickly see a terrific Dr. at NYEE in NYC. I had a vitrectomy that week and I can now see 20/40 with some distortion. Because of his effort he is now my Opthamologist

I really wanted him to be my MD; but, he had unpleasant MD-to-patient interaction. Ophthalmic Med Techs did abt 45 mins of Health Hx, preliminary tests and, eye dilation, then MD entered room to exam my eye. I don't recall he spoke w/me except "look up, look down, look to the side, etc" and give name of contacts he'd order 4 me. He didn't tell me if did or didn't see damage of HTN or DM in my eyes. Didn't prepare me 4 (my 1st) retinal scan, so my eyes were very sore 4-5 days-Clearly preoccupied

I found Dr. Farbowitz to be egotistic and arrogant. He belittles you and gets upset when you question the work he just did on you. They also require your credit card upfront and put charges through without your authorization. Definitely not a pleasant place to go. This place is all about making money. They care less about the patients. Go someplace else.

Dr. Farbowitz and his staff are excellent in every way. I am totally pleased with my cataract surgery and the multi focal lens. I have not worn glasses at all since the bandage was removed.

The doctor is fabulous with communicating at all stages of the cataract surgery. The staff was attentive and answered any and all questions making me feel very satisfied I was at the best place possible.

Very positive experience with the doctor and the staff.

Everyone is amazing.

Good.

Great job! I had many concerns about my vision and needing cataract surgery--I was reassured and sailed thru this life changing event with great results. Staff is professional and available to answer questions.
