I am so impressed with Dr Gilbert. I’ve had glaucoma for 44 years and cataracts over the past 4 years. I have seen many Drs over the years. I’ve been seeing Dr Gilbert for over a year now. Dr Gilbert is extraordinary. He hasShow more performed cataract surgery with successful results. And he has my glaucoma under control with the lowest pressure in each eye since I was 26 years old. 16 in each eye down from 21+. Dr Gilbert is extremely dedicated to explaining the science supporting his decisions and he partners with his patients in administering his problem solving. I feel very blessed to have Dr Gilbert and his staff “ on my side”
Dr. Gilbert is a wonderful doctor. I do drive about 1 hour away but I only trust him with my eyes . He explains all procedures so I clearly understand . He allows my daughter to part of our conversation via phone as she does notShow more live close by . If I have questions after leaving his office he does get back to you. The staff is a great team (Cecilia,Samirs and especially Celeste). Thank you Dr Gilbert

Warm competent professional
I had cataract surgery years ago by another doctor and she really messed my eye up!! After I found Dr. Gilbert, I was hesitant to have cataract surgery on my other eye but finally relented and he did the best job ever. Even with my bad eye, he improved my over all vision. I would recommend him highly!!
Love, Dr Gilbert ♥️♥️ he’s a great doctor.
Always the best care & concern!
Dr. Gilbert is a fantastic surgeon!!! he performed cataract surgery on my right eye, and it came out perfectly. I could see so much better than before. I would recommend him highly. also, his optometrist Michelle is fabulous as well.
My experience with Dr.Gilbert was great.
Dr. Gilbert has been treating me for 10-11 years now, has performed cataract surgery, inserted stents for my glaucoma and has diligently been monitoring my AMD. I feel confident that he will ensure that I retain as much sight as possible for as long as possible. His staff are very friendly and helpful. I'm very pleased with the treatment I receive!
Dr. Gilbert is the best. Patient, friendly, knowledgeable. Discusses treatment options openly describing pluses and minuses and comes to a consensus. Why only 2 stars?? Wait time is out of control. 2 weeks ago, after waiting 45 minutes beyond my appointment time, I was told I’d have to wait another 30-40 minutes. I left. When my new appointment came, called to see if Dr. Gilbert was running late. They said 20 minutes late. So I arrived 15 minutes past my original appointment time. I still had to wait another HOUR!! Scheduling manager should be fired.
Dr. Gilbert has cared for my parents and me for many years. He is as skilled as he is knowledgeable. We all have benefited from his care and feel blessed to have found him.
Dr Gilbert is very good at answering all my questions about my upcoming cataract surgery

Dr Gilbert and staff are excellent. They are guardians of my vision and I trust and respect their care.
I was recommended by a friend who had cataract surgery from Dr. Gilbert. I was not disappointed. He and his staff deserve more than five stars. I can see 20/20 out of both of my eyes now. What more is there to say? He knows what he is doing and has a good bedside manner too. Thank you Dr. Gilber!

From the reception desk to the exam by the attendant(who was the best) and ending with Dr.Gilbert, I was very impressed and am so glad they were recommended to me since my Doctor retired who I had for 20 years.
Good doctor. Friendly staff. Clean facility with plenty of parking
You need to pay more attention to the messages on your answering system and return calls if office staff is unable to take incoming calls.
