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

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
