★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My vision is finally clear after my PRK surgery, but otherwise this has been a disappointing experience. I was given great pre-operative instructions but the post-operative expectations were very misleading.
I was not told that there was a chance that I would have blurry vision and therefore be unable to drive for literally four weeks after the surgery. In fact, I was told I would receive the letter permitting me to drive on day 8 post-op.
The wait times for the follow-ups, of which I have had to do almost 8, have taken anywhere from 15 minutes to over 90 minutes for the same procedures. This is a staggering difference and very difficult to plan around.
I would not recommend Gimbel to others.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I got Lasik done on both eyes here by Dr. Van Westenbrugge. It was a breeze from pre-operation appointments to post op. Well worth the $$$, I wish I would have got it done earlier!!!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If I have an appointment booked at 11:30 why does some have to wait for 2+ hours to see someone? You should have a service where you could check in and it will tell you when the doctor can see you. Kinda like airports. People have lives and don’t need to be wasting their time sitting for hours at a time.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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!
