Dr Tabin is probably one of few physicians I have ever seen in my life that did not seem to be in a hurry to move on th his next patient. I feel he spent as much time with me as I needed. I appreciate him for that.

November 01, 2012

My time with Dr T was cut short because of an angry patient--I still had questions for him which I had to address to his assistant (who was gracious and helpful). Overall my visit met all my needs and I will return.

October 29, 2012

the physician spent less than one minute on the exam and jumped to conclusions about my prognosis. He spent more time about what I do for a living. Once he figured out he was wrong about his initial prognosis he was done with me.

October 01, 2012

Dr. Tabin and the technician were excellent.

August 31, 2012

Dr Tabin is a great communicator and very easily understood.

August 24, 2012

i believe the doctor is professional and seemed to be so. the problem is: he only literally spent 1 minute checking my eyes and then let another young doctor (I believe he is a sort of practicing doctor) to continue practicing. I don't mind have my eyes checked by the practicing doctor; however I still prefer to get a more thorough exam by the professional one first. In the end the main doctor explained my potential eye problem very briefly and prescribed some eyedrop. I feel they were in a sort of hurry and did not explain in detail. Or maybe it is the doctor's personality. Overall unsatisfactory service.

August 13, 2012

Dr Tabin is absoutley the most competent eye doctor I have ever seen his care and caring attitude is wonderful

August 07, 2012

Dr. Tobin seems to be a very good doctor but we probably spent 5 minutes maximum with him. He basically looked at my wires eyes and said "there's nothing I can do, you need to see a neuro opthamologist." I understand that maybe he felt like it was out of his area of expertise but I felt like the visit was kind of pointless and we drove an hour each way and then paid the 60$ copay for him to tell us that...not his fault, just frustrating.

July 30, 2012

Wonderful Doctor and Staff!!

July 23, 2012

I have the greatest confidence in Dr. Tabin that he will provide me with information, discuss the options available and do what is best for me.

July 23, 2012

Although I greatly miss the eye doctor I had before (in Wisconsin), I am pleased with the expertise and concern of my new eye doctor.

July 22, 2012

Dr. Geoffrey Tabin is brilliant, organized, and ten years ahead of his time.

July 18, 2012

Unfortunately, it appeared that Dr. Tabin was simply "checking the box" as it related to his friendliness/courteousness. His "get to know you questions" sounded like a checklist. Additionally, he said, "It's nice to meet you" two to three times, but he c

June 25, 2012

I like the physician very much. He was quite rushed because of a heavy clinic load.

June 05, 2012

June 04, 2012

Dr. Taben seems extremely qualified but at the same time very genuine and down to earth.

April 27, 2012

I saw 2 doctors Geoffrey Tabin was very kind and helpful. He seemed very caring and because of his thoroughness he immediately referred me to Dr. Bernstein retinal specialist. Dr. Bernstein wasn't as friendly, but he seemed extremely confident with his diagnosis & what treatment I needed.

March 29, 2012

Despite the 6 week wait to see him, Dr. Taben is well known for his expertise so worth it. After all, I've only got one set of eyes; I'd like to keep them working their best.

March 16, 2012

Thank heaven for the John Moran center and its employees!!

January 25, 2012

Consistently excellent

January 04, 2012

I have had Dr. Tabin do two cornea transplants and both have been excellent. Last year Dr. Petty began working with Dr. Tabin and his care has also been very good. I could not imagine a better person to do the cornea transplants. He and Dr. Petty also helped me through a bad infection. Excellent care.
