Folkman Jay S Optometrist

Fantastic service, the doctor is extremely thorough and educates you on almost everything he’s checking for. Most places only tell you if something is wrong. I’ve never learned so much about my eye health! Very clean and professional atmosphere, and friendly staff. I was only a bit upset with their lack of certainty with my insurance provider. It went from walking in being told by my insurance I’d have a pair of glasses and contacts covered. To only the exam being covered, and they couldn’t even confirm that. This is the only reason I dropped it from 5 stars. I shouldn’t have to go in wondering if my exam is going to cost me or not like some kind of game show.

I’ve trusted Dr. Folkman for many years to take care of my eyes. He was able to help me get a great pair of progressive contact lenses that give me good vision at every distance. He and his staff are knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend him highly.

Visiting the eye doctor here was such a pleasure. I was visiting from out of town but needed to get an exam for glasses. They were able to fit me and a friend in on the same day after a prompt phone call. My service was not compromised by they’re great scheduling. The staff and Dr were very courteous and thorough, administering multiple procedural eye test I had not reviewed before. Even after I left Albuquerque and headed back east. I realized I had left my prescription at my friends house. With another quick phone call, the staff quickly resolved the problem.

I had a co-​worker recommend Dr. Folkman after I’d had several bad experiences with optometrists in Albuquerque. I originally saw Dr. Vise (his partner), who has since left. so I became part of Dr. Folkman’s clientele. The staff at this place was great from the moment I walked in. They were knowledgeable and helpful. It didn’t hurt that the doc and his tech were dressed up as Breaking Bad for Halloween when I went for my appointment! Dr. Folkman is the most thorough optometrist I’ve ever been to, and I’ve had glasses/​contacts since I was 10. He explained everything, drew pictures, and even looked under my eye lids for signs of damages done by my contacts. No other optometrist has even come close to being as awesome as he is.
I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic eye doc in Albuquerque!
