Welcome To The Office Of Dr. Alan Schussel

Dr. Schlussel is amazing! His staff is extremely friendly and his office up to date with all of the latest technology. It is refreshing to have a doctor that is not only knowledgeable, but who takes the time to treat his patients properly.

I actually look forward to my eye exams - how amazing is that?! For years, I've had chronic dry eye caused by MGD, and Dr. Schlussel was the only one who diagnosed the root cause. Years of eye drops, constant tearing, mucous, itching, burning sensations. With a regimen of Retaine, PRN Omega 3, I feel 90% better. Remarkable. Today's visit involved four state of the art diagnostic tests to check my eye health, done by his staff in his new office space, before seeing the doc. He asks a wide range of questions, key is he actively listens to my answers, which spark new questions/answers. I have never felt rushed - he's never once looked at his watch, or popped in-and-out to juggle other patients. He was extremely thorough, running through several additional tests, noticing even slight changes in my vision, and adjusted my eyeglass prescription accordingly. Though with proper eye care and using Retaine has been a marked improvement on my quality of life, he introduced the possibility of Xiidra and a Lipiflow treatment. Diving into the pros and cons of each. No pressure, just the facts laid out in layman's terms. No 'selling' going on here, only what may work - or not - for me. Modern equipment with the knowledge to go with it, combined with the old-school "warm doctoring" I grew up with. His staff is accommodating and friendly, explaining all charges. I booked through Zocdoc, updating my insurance information, so the check-in lasted all of five minutes (including a short questionnaire.) I recommend Dr. Schlussel without reservation. My wife and friends now go to him for their eye care.

Extremely professional and courteous. The staff is very friendly as well. Would highly recommend Dr Alan Schlussel!

I suffered with excessive tearing from MGD for over 2 years. I was constantly dabbing my eyes all day long. I tried Restasis, Xiidra, steroid eye drops, warm compresses, etc. etc. etc. but nothing worked. I had Lipiflow treatment on December 1, 2017. It was a bit uncomfortable on the first eye, but once it was underway, really not bad at all. I didn't notice any change for about 3 weeks. But then I noticed that the tearing was gradually getting better...to the point that my eye makeup stayed on all day! I couldn't believe that I was actually able to get through the day with no tearing at all...it really does feel like a miracle.

Dr. Schlussel is an excellent optometrist. He is very knowledgeable and professional. The ladies in the office are excellent as well. I highly recommend Dr. Schlussel's practice.

Dr. Schlussel was very kind and knowledgeable. He explained things in a way that were clear and easy to understand. He took his time answering all of the questions that I had and did not make me feel like any of my questions were silly. As a person who has had fit problems with contact lenses for the past 15 years I was reluctant to give it one more try but Dr. Schlussel determined the perfect fit and prescription on the first shot! He explained why the new ones that were selected worked best for me and sent me home with trials to just be sure before we placed an order for more. The office staff was so kind as well. I was not sure if I was going to purchase my glasses there but they were not pushy at all and were totally fine with whatever I decided. They had a wide variety of designer glasses and sunglasses that were very reasonably priced so I did purchase them in the office . Everyone was extremely helpful and the office was kept very clean! I would highly recommend using Dr. Schlussel's office!

I have been to Dr. Schlussel for eye exams for over a decade now.
