Kronick Kenneth O.D.

THE WORST place you could possibly go to!
The eye exams and contact exams they are giving you are MEDIOCORE as well. The office is so outdated and so is their technology, the doc asked me to being in my old glasses to make sure he was filling the «correct» prescription. RED FLAG. I’ve been to another optometrist and their technology was so advanced. I should have never stopped going there, yes it was more pricey but I got quality service!
I was finally DONE with them when I had them fax my prescription over so I could get new glasses at Target. Not only did they take over a day to do it. (How hard is it to fax something over!!!) THEY FAXED THE WRONG PRESCRIPTION. The thing that got me more upset is that I called to ask them nicely if they got my prescription mixed up, they put me on hold rudely and then hung up on me. I called AGAIN and they tried to finnesse me and say it was Target who messed up. I went to pick up my prescription today in order to get the correct one, and I confronted the receptionist and doctor about it and they both tried to act like they didn’t know what happened.
BYE I LEARNED MY LESSON SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO TO A MORE QUALITY OPTOMETRIST.

The eye Dr. Kenneth Kronick has the worst assistants of all time. 1 Her communication skills are awful. Not only does the assistant not follow up with you she cant explain herself in english 2. The assistant faxed over my perception and admitted that she rewrote the prescription and couldn’t tell me what the dr. wrote? His penmanship is chicken scratch so instead of getting the actual prescription from the Dr. She took it upon herself to write something and fax it to me. So the assistant faxed over to me a forged document that she wrote. Thats nice. I called 2 times today and was told the Dr. is busy back to back and cant take the time to tell her what my perception was. Definitely not a legit practice. If I dont hear back I am reporting them to the board of optometry.
UPDATE 5 days later no call back from the office. I called the office again and the assistant STILL did not get my prescription from the Dr. 4pm was the last straw I told her I once I was off the phone I was calling the department of optometry to report Dr. Kenneth Kronick. Oddly enough as soon as I was off the phone within 5 min the Dr. called me personally back to let me know my prescription and said his assistant was new and didnt know how to do things yet. (I’m sure.) Funny how he took the time once I said I was reporting him. Which I am still going to do.
Save your money and go somewhere legit.

The sign outside is a joke, when you get in the price goes up $ 85. The lady in the reception is so crazy, wearing dirty clothes, eating while talking to you. baddddddd
I will never come back, plz don’t go

I needed a new prescription for my contacts, so that is the only reason for me to go.
I made an appointment and went.
Pro’s:
1. no waiting
2. easy communication with the Dr.
3. the receptionist was nice.
Con’s: none so far.
Being a healthcare provider myself I appreciate a straight to the point office and Dr.
Definitely coming back here again.

This Doctor is a joke. It’s a mad shuffle to get you out of there at lightning speed. He doesn’t seem to care about his patients needs at all. After all, he found a niche in charging a low price and treating his patients like crap. What do you expect for $ 45? Definitely a bit better than this. It’s still $ 45 and he spends about 7 minutes with you. Do that math. $ 500 per hour.
Unlike all of his patients, my particular respective uniqueness comes in that I studied to be in their field when I was in my 20’s, so I know what is protocol and what is doing this right. He didn’t. If he just spent 15 minutes with each patient, putting them at ease and explaining things appropriately, he would have a much better reputation. As far as the other reviews on here that are positive, they sound planted and fake.
Further infuriating is that my RX always came in with one eye being better than the other, and also having a bit of astigmatism, but he said he found none when I asked him. I will be doing a chargeback. He should have his license revoked.
Do yourself a favor, and go see a reputable Optometrist or Ophthalmologist. I should have done that instead of being cheap. Don’t take your vision for granted like I did. Now I’m going to go to a decent eye doctor and get an RX that I can bring to him and send to my credit card company so i can justify the chargeback.

Great!
I really like Dr. Kronick. I am in and out after my eye exam, which I love.
Who has time to sit and wait?!!
The receptionist this time was fantastic. I really liked her a lot.
I will continue to come back for my eye care needs.

Love this place! My husband comes here often to get his eyes checked. They have a reasonable price of $ 45 for both contact exam and rx glasses. Where else can you get that kind of a deal? The staff is friendly and courteous! Will definitely come back. Parking is a little iffy since they only have a small lot in front but well worth the hassle.

Dr. Kronick gets it done. I found his demeanor very nice and direct, but not rude. He did a routine exam that was pretty quick but not unusual. I am very happy with my prescription and my new glasses are great! I also found the front desk staff to be nice and polite. I was happy on all counts!

This place is a joke.
I went there last week to get my contact lens exam since I didn’t notice my prescription was expired when I ran out of my last pair. Also because they accept walk-​ins.
The front desk lady was friendly and helpful. After she briefly checked my eyes with the machine next to the front desk, I went to the back room with a female doctor.
I am pretty sure she is not Dr. Kenneth. She was impatient during the exam and the whole exam took less than 10 mins. AND she even mis-​read my left eye’s power. She said my left eye’s vision is so weak and she doesn’t know if I can get such high power. I was shocked because I am comfortable with my glasses and its about –600.
She told me that my left eye is above –1000 because I can’t see anything with the glasses she tried on me. Then she pulled my glasses off my face and tested them with another machine, and told me that the front desk lady mis-​tested my left eye so that result was misleading to her.
After that, she re-​tested my left eye and wrote down my prescription on a piece of paper and took me out of the room. Basically all she did was changing different power on my eye and asked me if I can see the letters on the wall. No close check up nor any kind of questions for my eye condition. When I told her I am very comfortable with my current glasses, but the test result is MUCH higher than those. She simply replied:“that’s not enough for you right now”.
The price for contact lens exam is $ 85 dollars, which is lower than normal eye doctors. But still not worth the risk to get your eyes checked incorrectly. After I paid, I noticed that the base curve (you need this info when ordering contact lens) of my eyes were nowhere to be found on the prescription. So I asked the front desk lady to look for it, then she found out that it’s only recorded in their file but not on my actual prescription. Wtf?!
All I want to say is avoid this hell hole at any cost. I’ve been to some ghetto eye doctors office in China town, even those ones are more professional than this place.
Btw, this place is named under Dr. Kenneth, then why is this female doctor writing prescription under Dr. Kenneth name. I highly doubt if she is a certified doctor or not.

I don’t know what I was thinking going to an eye doctor that accepts walk-​ins and advertises a cheap price of $ 39 for an exam as the main attraction.
I walk in, there’s maybe a 5-​minute wait although it’s a Saturday.
The lobby feels more like the waiting room of an auto repair shop than the waiting room of a respectable eye doctor. It’s tiny, there’s four or so chairs and all the counter and side table space is taken up by brochures for garbage. The woman behind the counter was nice. Enough.
Then Dr. Kronick takes me back to his little hole-​in-​the-​wall exam room. He’s very gruff and short with me. Very impatient when asking «which lens is better, a or b?» obviously I have been to eye doctors tons of times before and have done this and most eye doctors understand that your eyes need ONE OR TWO SECONDS to adjust, so stop huffing and puffing, Doctor.
Then he requests that my husband, who dropped me off and is running a separate errand, could swing by our house down the street and pick up my eyeglasses so he can be sure that he’s writing the correct subscription (What? Red flag much?)
It seemed weird but I didn’t say anything because, well, he’s the doctor, and I’m already there and this is a cheap exam so, whatever.
We finish up, my glasses are fetched, he writes the prescription, and I go to pay. It’s $ 95. Because I had a contacts eye exam which is more. But I was never told them from the offset. The nice lady behind the counter was like, Oh sorry I usually mention that, it’s posted behind me though.
Yeah, posted behind you, on a printed page with tons of other info, in maybe 14-​point font… Whatever.
But, fine, there was no wait and my dumb mandatory prescription is in hand.
A week or two later I go to fill my prescription and lo and behold the guy didn’t right the prescription formula for my left eye. I had to call them and have them fax it over.
Who doesn’t write the prescription? That’s your one and only function, since you can’t figure out my eyesight without my own glasses as backup!
LAAAAAME.

I’ve been coming here for years and I really like this optometrist. I’m usually in and out pretty quick and Dr. Kronick’s pretty awesome. Not to mention the fact that the Complete Eye Care right next door, in most cases, can fill your prescriptions pretty quickly. The only thing I can’t figure out for the life of me is why glasses prescriptions are for two years and contacts are for one… what with the contacts being more expensive… and apparently your vision can change more quickly with glasses than with contacts. Beyond that, Dr. Kronick is friendly in a no-​nonsense kind of way, and he by no means talks down to anyone.
Now, that being said, I tried to get some more contacts within that time frame from the place next door about 3 months before it expired. I couldn’t find my prescription info and they told me that it expired already. Now I KNEW that wasn’t true, but they said I needed to get another exam. (I’m not sure whether these are stored also on the Dr.‘s side — I would assume so — but for whatever reason, I didn’t think about getting it from there.) I eventually found the paper at home and had to bring it in before they let me get new contacts. So although I’ve had some issues with the place next door, it’s not enough to keep me from going back.

I’ve been to Dr. Kronick twice now — two years in a row.
He’s very nice, professional and knows his area of expertise!
I have no complaints! Usually it’s easy to get an appointment too!
Recommended!

I’ve been going to Dr. Kronick for years. Pretty straight forward person and he will tell you his opinion if you ask. For example, I am over 50 and was considering Lasik surgery. He told me don’t bother. At my age and condition in a few years my eyes would need glasses again. Within a year my brother-​in-​law, who had Lasik and is a little older, ended up needing glasses after only a few years. He saved my a couple of thousand.
Eyeglass examinations are one price and, if you want contacts, it is more expensive since they measure your eyes. When I had an eye insurance through work I went to two other eye doctors but ended up returning to him anyway.

Extremely rude doctor! I wanted to take my mom, he said he is not dealing with people over 70 years old and didn’t even listen to what I had to say. The receptionist is not better, she called the doctor instead of answering my questions.

The Dr. works quickly and efficiently. Charged $ 35. Walked prescription next door and had two pair of glasses in short order.

Went once for glasses. I think he gave me a good prescription. Not much of a personality but cheap. SUCH a rude front desk woman.
