Patient Reviews
May 24, 2023
I have started seeing Dr. Kaufman for the past 2 years for high pressure, and baby cataracts. I have seen her , when needed, for about 40 years now. She has taken care and saved my grandmother’s eye sight when she was alive. She had gone out of her way to take care of my stepfather’s eye, when he had a construction accident, and particles had lodged into her eyes. She took time from getting ready for an event to fix his eyes right away. She sees my mother for her glaucoma. She is an amazing and compassionate optometrist. I would trust her when it comes to my eyes.
