Getting treatment from Herzig Eye Institute was one of the best choices that I have made for correcting my vision problems. I was impressed with the treatment and hospitality of the staff. I am thankful to Dr. Herzig for helping me to achieve a perfect vision. Their services are highly recommendable, and they are a great choice for those who are looking for good ophthalmologists in Toronto.

Greatest experience medically and as a client. From the moment you step into the office, youre greeted with warm smiles and positive energy. They instruct you on every single step of your decision making process. The consultation was very thorough, even though i have a background in the optical industry they broke down the lingo, and terminology for anyone to understand and be well informed on making their decision.The office is equip with state of the art machines, it is well maintained, clean with sanitizers, stocked with beverages and snacks as you wait.Phenomenal experience, have recommended this place to all my visually impaired colleagues and family members.

The entire experience was amazing, as were the results of bilateral cataract surgery with vision correction. Everyone from Dr. Herzig, to the nurses and support staff were awesome to deal with. I felt totally at ease for the entire visit and procedure. Thank you to all for the return of my sight, and making it better than ever. And no more glasses!!! Thank you.

I waited a year post op to make this review about my LASIK procedure.After looking into Lasik MD and mentioning it to my eye doctor, Herzig was recomennded to me as an alternative. When going for the consultation, I dressed like a goof (something I like doing in higher end places to see if I'm treated differently based off apperance) in sweat pants and a baggy sweater. I was welcomed with the up most respect and treated properly, dispite not looking like I "fit in", with the rest of the patients who were well dressed. I was never once second guessed about financing (which I did not require), unike Lasik MD who had assumed and tried to immediately push me into it.All of my questions were answered thoroughly and I was assured help would be with me after hours if needed. They proceeded to do the pre-op tests thoroughly then spoke with me about my surgical options.The only thing I disliked was the push for "SMILE" -- a surgery similar to Lasik that has been banned in Europe due to generally poor results (not discreditting this surgery, simply stating information widely available online. If it worked for you then great.) -- So I opted to go the Lasik route.Fast forward to surgery day (well dressed this time, lol). They repeated pre-op tests before taking me to the waiting room and asked me if I wanted some medication to ease the worry/anxiety. I declined and they told me to let them know if I changed my mind. No pushiness for medication.Into the surgery room I go. They put massive amounts of numbing eye drops into my eyes while explaining the process again and going in depth as to what each machines purpose was and what happened if my eye had moved (which it did!). Within less than two minutes of starting the surgery, I was sent back out to the waiting room. My surgery was done and I could finally see in a yellowy haze.I was assured this would get better with time and was given a bag of medications to take home with me as well as two movie tickets complimentary.My first set of drops were due less than 15 minutes after finally getting out of the building, so I killed some time in LV before heading for the car. I decided to do my drops before leaving the parking lot (sitting still) but due to poor visability I accidentally poked my eye with the eye dropper. I returned upstairs in a hurry to see if I had done damage.By this time, most of the staff was on lunch break but I was helped instantly by one of their staff and reassured that I had not touched the flap.The first few weeks were worrying me as my eyes SLOWLY started to heal and my vision was not quite up to par by my standards. However, within a month, my eyesight was better than ever.I tried so hard not to cry within the first two weeks, because for the first time in my life I could see without assisstance (I started at -5.75 with a bad astigmatism in both eyes).My last eye appointment was -0.25 in one eye and +0.25 in the other and I'm due for my 1 year exam in a few weeks (will update this post if anything changes).The only thing I noticed post-op that wasn't mentioned to me was that my eye color would / could change. My eyes were dull and dark for a few months but are now brilliant blue like they were before.I have not suffered from long term dry eyes. I do not have any pain. After the healing process, light glares slowly diminished and are now pratically non-exsistent unless I'm really tired. My vision is 110% improved from what it was and I am extremely happy I went with Herzig. It took me 5 years to finally say "I'm doing it" and I'm glad I trusted Herzig. (I was lucky enough to have Mr.Herzig himself!)At Lasik MD, you feel like a cattle in the herd a.k.a just another number. At Herzig, they make you feel like family.P.S. I am tearing up writting and re-reading this because I have had issues with contacts from day one. Before, I couldn't see peoples faces from across the table. Now, I can see street signs from a block away!Thank you for giving me my freedom back! You can't understand what it means to me.

Excellent care from your first meeting!
