Newman Eye Center

Dr. Newman is the best doctor in town! Do yourself a favor and go to him!

I got my laser surgery done by Dr. Newman about 15 yrs. What a miracle! Can’t see as well as I used to but i’m also getting older. Still my vision is acceptable to drive and read for the most part. Doreen and Debbie are wonderful and always willing to help with fixing glasses, ordering glasses or making apptps. Dr. Newman is a perfectionist & very knowledgeable and always looking into new procedures. Highly recommend going here.

I had basic lasik in January and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I have better than perfect vision. The staff has been friendly and willing to work with my budget and schedule. Thank you!!!

I am a huge fan of the Newman Eye Center! I have been going there for 22 years at various locations. I first had RK done in 1993 by Dr. Bruce Newman, before Laser surgery was even available in the US. Many years later I had an enhancement with Lasik surgery, and my wife also got the surgery. Neither of us wear glasses any more. I am a magician by profession, but Dr. Newman does the real magic. The man is a guru in the world of eye surgery, and I have met many doctors who think very highly of him, and even use his services themselves. His staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended !!! :)

Thank to Dr. N and his staff I have the clearest vision in over 20 years.

Worst experience ever… beyond words.

I actually drove here from Tucson AZ. and I am very happy I did. I went through QualSight LASIK where they helped me choose places to get the procedure. Especially with all the different prices and places QualSight really did all the research for me. I received PRK and it was well worth it for my active lifestyle. Dr. Bruce Newman and his staff esp. Tim and Debbie were awesome. I felt very well cared for while making the decision and going through the whole process. I recommend this place to anyone… that Dr. Newman will take very good care of you. Really he is well worth the drive and he does take time to be with his patients.

Dr. Newman and his staff are wonderful. He really takes time with his patients and makes you feel cared for. So sometimes I wait a bit but that is the only reason I rate them 4 out of 5. I see him for my eye care and also have had several Pelleve treatments to reduce wrinkles and the results have taken years off my face without surgery.

I was a bit apprehensive initially as the woman I spoke with the first day seemed a bit dry but professional. I called back to make an appointment and was contacted shortly after the initial call to see if I would like to come in earlier. I knew what I needed done so I was upfront with the office letting them know that I was not insured, I had a chalazion on my left eyelid and that i was interested in having an excision. A few moment later I was quoted a very reasonable price for what I was having done and we moved to the area for surgery. Dr. Newman was very polite and a pleasure to speak with. 25 minutes later I was paying my bill and on my way. I will be returning for a follow-​up visit very soon. I will be dealing with Dr. Newman from this point forward.

Absolutely unprofessional staff and office. Miserable experience would never go there again

From the moment you enter Newman Eye Center you feel like Family. The friendly and helpful staff. The tasteful décor. Simply put I wouldn’t trust my eyes to anyone else. Dr. Newman performed Lasik surgery on me over 15 years ago and it was life changing. I continue to sing his praises year after year because he is the best eye doctor in the Valley. Do yourself a favor and get into Newman Eye Center. You won’t regret it.

Completely incompetent. Please do yourself a favor and don’t go here

I called on the phone and they were so very pleasant. As I walked into the Office, It was warm and inviting. They made me feel comfortable and I did not have to wait until they were able to see me. They had a huge wall of frame choices for me to choose from and they worked with me until I was happy.
I found my Eye Dr. of Choice, Thank you!

Had my 1^st ever injection of Dysport here, my fore head was like a shar-​pei ! I didn’t think it was fixable … Had the injections done and after just a couple hours I could already see a difference. I was already happy with results but after a few days my forehead is completely smooth !! I’m beyond happy with my results ! Dr. Newman and entire staff were very nice, the actual injections didn’t hurt at all, no bruising like I’ve read about. I will def be going back for more when needed :)

Outstanding services rendered by Dr. Newman. My wife had a procedure completed here and we fund the staff enjoyable, informative, and very professional. I was very pleased with our entire experience including great service from the opticians. I highly recommend the practice!

Just had PRK done by Dr. Newman and I am completely amazed. he is an incredible doctor who takes his time and addresses all of my questions and concerns. When I originally went in to the LASIK consultation, I actually injured my eye that morning, but since ive had previous eye injuries and my eye was not in any pain i thought it was no big deal, but when I went in he was very concerned and gave me different eye drops to make sure my eye healed properly. I think other doctors would not have taken the time to make sure my eye was okay, but Dr. Newman went above and beyond, would highly recommend to others.

Anytime the rating falls to «3 stars» it means the reviewing public has given Dr. Newman the equivalent of an overall «C.»
I am sure if Dr. Newman replies to this review he will sound polite and reasonable. In his office, he was soft-​spoken but in a hurry. (I waited over an hour for both my appointments).
Please note that i am not challenging his knowledge or reputation as an eye doctor, as I purchased a Living Social deal for Dysport injections — thinking I was being cautious in having a doctor do these injections.
The «cosmetic» injectables are certainly a source of revenue to this practice, as posters for other types of procedures were on every wall and i was given some rather extensive information regarding a «menu» of procedures they provide.
A week after the injections, I called Dr. Newman’s office regarding some concerns — I did not get a positive effect and thought I may need more Dysport applied in additional areas… or some correction — (for which i intended to pay an additional fee).
When I made the 2^nd appt., the office person said «we will do what it takes to make you happy.» However, when I arrived I was kept waiting over an hour (again) and Dr. Newman was immediately dismissive. He looked at my records and realized I was a «deal patient» and told me how much product I had gotten for the price, how much it would usually cost, and «what a good deal» I had gotten. I thought these comments were tacky and unprofessional.
My demeanor was not angry, but I replied that it isn’t a «good deal» unless the results are positive. One eyelid dropped and one eyebrow was crooked. He pointed out my eyes/​brows were not symmetrical to begin with — (no one’s are), but he was looking to validate a reason to dismiss me (I told him that one eyebrow lifting is common with Botox/​Dysport and called «Spock eyebrow» and am told it is easily correctable).
He was simply not interested in correcting or assisting in any way (and, again — I did not expect to get anything free). He said «WELL, I AM NOT GOOD ENOUGH to do the correction and I will refer you to a good plastic surgeon.»
Do you see the contradiction here? First he tries to insist there isn’t a problem, and then he «isn’t good enough» to correct the problem? Again — not ethical or professional.
Newman simply wasn’t interested in assisting a «deal patient» or continuing the relationship with a patient who returned to ask questions or sought more positive results.
NOTE: 2 weeks after my appt with Dr. Newman I went to a reputable Scottsdale MedSpa, owned by a nurse practitioner with extensive experience in the cosmetic/​plastic surgery field. She immediately spotted the problem being unevenness of the eyebrows caused by misplaced injections, a «Spock» eyebrow that needed to be relaxed with a mere 5 units injected above it to relax the muscle responsible for lifting the brow… and the fact that Dr. Newman’s injections had provided no lift or «openness» to the eye. Although I was prepared to pay for more Dysport at Dr. Newman’s — apparently what he did inject was not done properly or artistically and was a waste of time and money.
It is now 48 hours after my 2^nd injections and the results are perfect. The «Spock» brow is relaxed, the eyes have an open, refreshed appearance, everything is symmetrical, my «11» wrinkles between the brows are gone. My additional cost: $ 132.
My relief: Priceless.
Dr. Newman sure was correct about one thing: HE ISN’T GOOD ENOUGH.

My eyes have been red for years. I have tried every eye drop known to man. Another eye doctor put me on rostasis but it never made a difference. I went to Dr Newman and he suggested plugs. It only took 5 minutes to put them in. What a night and day difference. My eyes are white again! I can see better and it even made me look young again! So extremely satisfied.

I have been a patient for over 10 years and I had LASIK about 6 years ago. I wish I did it earlier. Dr Newman you rock!

I saw an amazing Groupon for Dysport featuring it for about half the price I normally pay. I’m a Dysport junkie all the way.
Before purchasing, I did some due diligence by calling the practice and inquiring how long Dr. Newman had been doing the procedure. The woman who I spoke with was very nice and answered all my questions to my satisfaction. I called back and scheduled an appointment and the second woman was quite snappy and rude. Upon check in — same thing. She didn’t make much eye contact and appeared grouchy. It appeared she would rather be doing anything else besides greeting me. Not someone I would want to have working the front. It seems like a family run place so maybe it is his mother? Not sure.
So I was taken back and Dr. Newman’s brother took photos and was very nice and made me feel welcome. Then they checked my eyes (I’m assuming to maybe get new patients) and then gave me a folder with several brochures for other cosmetic procedures for the face and eyes. There was no pressure, more of a «here’s what else we do» kind of thing. Then Dr. Newman came in.
He was quick and the way he injects is virtually painless. I was very surprised and actually happy they initially gave me ice to numb but I didn’t need it at all.
I’m very happy and wish I had purchased more Groupons as I will definitely go back if he has another deal. Even though it’s a little far from my house, I will probably go back the next time I need glasses too. He’s got the latest and greatest eye machines.
Five days later, my eyes and forehead look fantastic. He put the injections in a different spots (all over my forehead) instead of at my hairline and eyebrows which I was used to. The effect I think is better. My eyebrows still lift which looks more natural, but nothing else! I would highly recommend him and Dysport!
