Gimbel Eye Centre

Was a little nervous about getting cataract surgery for both eyes. They people there made feel completely comfortable. The surgery was painless and the follow up was very professional. Thank you Dr. Chung and the Gimbel staff

I had the most wonderful experience at Gimbel Eye Center. I had lasik done and the surgeon and whole healthcare team was absolutely amazing. I am incredibly impressed with how efficient everyone is. I had to come back a few times and they always managed to fit me in right away. I can now see better than 20/20 now and it has changed my life!

Dr. Van Westenbrugge and his team were phenomenal. Dr. Sauer did my pre and post surgery appointments which were very informative and encouraging. I had astigmatism in both eyes and have been wearing glasses since I was a child which has always been frustrating as an active athlete. I had LASIK surgery two days ago and after my follow up appt I now have better than perfect vision in both eyes. I can see better than I ever could with glasses and couldn’t be happier with the care and attention on top of the results that I received. I would recommend Gimbel to anyone!

Very impressed with the service and professionalism! I met in sequence with Juliette, Sarah and Dr. John van Westenbrugge regarding secondary cataract removals. Due to a cancellation I was able to book an appointment within days of my optometrist's referral and they performed the procedures in both eyes during that one visit. I really appreciated the way in which everyone was so present when they interacted with me, and how they explained the process at each step. All went well, and my quality of life is back to normal! Thank you so much!

Amazing job on eye surgery. One recommendation, whatever your appointment time is, show up at least 20min late. Over the year I have never once gotten called from the waiting room for my appointment without waiting 20-40 min first.

I had PRK done on both eyes -6 prescription in January by Dr. van Westenbruggee. The experience has been great, with no pain, only discomfort for a couple hours after the contact bandage day 5 post op was removed. I did contact the after hours line once and that too was a good experience with a fast & knowledgeable response. The staff is very thorough and patient throughout the whole process and provide helpful documents. There is a non-refundable $200 consultation fee but it subtracts from your total cost if you have surgery within a year. My consultation and follow up appointments have been with Dr. Saur and he is also great as he is honest ie. he told me I could get Lasik but he wouldn't recommend it as it would further dry out my already dry eyes and he ensures he answers all questions or concerns. My appointments are easily scheduled and I don't wait long. I feel well taken care of here and I'm so glad I did this. Edits: Dec. 2020 - Eyes are still good, no issues & 20/20. Happy with their follow up process. Nov. 2022 - Everything is great! No issues.

Great experience. Met Dr. Warrian when he saved my eye from a retinal tear/detachment a few months ago. Had a cataract for him to fix in the other eye and the process was very efficient and the staff wonderful throughout. I saw some other reviews about punctuality on here, and while sure doctors offices can have emergencies and fall behind some days, my experience was right on time every time. 8:45 appointment for cataract surgery and home by 11:30, including a 60 minute waiting period where I got a coffee so they could double check pressure before I went home. Couldn't ask for better.

Made the "mistake" of choosing Demong 20 years ago, because they were also well regarded and at my end of town. Now I live near to Gimbel and had also heard good things so I went there. They said they'll charge me $1000 extra aka punish me for coming to them to get a touch up. I just about laughed right there. Talk about a fast way to lose $$$$s because I was prepared to book it right then and have the surgery this fall. Such bad business practices.

I went to Lasik based on these Gimbel google reviews and what a mistake that was. Gimbel was amazing! I had a terrible experience with lasik md and then once I got over that experience, I reluctantly went for a 2nd opinion at gimbel. It was night and day. Gimbel listened to me, they were professional and took their time. I saw a doctor on my very first visit initial Ax and worked with a dry eye specialist which enabled me to get PRK. I am currently recovering and am beyond happy with my experience. Gimbel cost a bit more and involved more work on my end to get my eyes ready, but it was well worth my money, time and effort. This whole journey highlighted for me, the importance of visiting clinics and doing more than just a google review or internet search. I hope this helps anyone else considering laser eye surgery.

I got my ICL done for my high myopia 2 weeks ago. I was very nervous about the process. Before the surgery I meet with the tech who did the testing and initial assessment. He seemed very knowledgeable relaying that he was an internationally trained optometrist. After the surgery the tech was also pleasant and an international trained Ophthalmologist. Dr Westenburrge did the surgery and he was excellent. Exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend Gimbel eye center.
