Great experience as a first timer. The staff and Dr. Gerowitz were all very friendly and helpful. I especially loved how Dr. Gerowitz really took his time to explain my sons vision conditions as well as how the treatment works. After couple follow-up visits, we are very satisfied with the vision improvement for my son. Will recommend to kids who need help on vision correction.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Gerowitz for 6 years now. Him and his team are always extremely thorough with examinations and also I’m extremely happy with ortho-k, I only wish I had started it earlier.

My 7-year old daughter developed myopia and it was developing too fast. When I was searching for solutions I did not feel hopeful that there was a way. Im glad I tried and I found Dr. Gerowitz. Ortho K lens actually works. Dr. Gerowitz is a great doctor. Hes very thorough. He knows what hes doing. My daughter does not need to wear glasses now. Shes so proud and she can swim or do other sports without squinting. We hope to continue the treatment till shes old enough for Lasik or when the myopia doesnt deteriorate as fast. OrthoK really improved the life quality of my daughter.

Dr Gerowitz is highly skilled and has a great bedside manner. It took me years of searching to find someone who would address my dry-eye issues, and Im very grateful to be his patient. Liked him so well, I just brought my mother to him, and I dont do that with just any doctor. If youre dissatisfied with your current care, this guy is the answer!

I have three sons in the program. Two of the older sons have been in the program with Dr. G for several years. Their eyes are perfect now.The youngest one just getting his lens a couple of weeks ago, and His vision is 20/20 now.I recommend Dr. G for vision correction instead of relying on traditional glasses.

Absolutely the best Optometrist I have ever been to. Have had glasses since third grade and nothing has come close to the prescription and quality of eyewear I received. The staff is very friendly and a clean yet comfortable environment. Top of line diagnostic equipment and Dr. Geowitz spends plenty of time explaining the whole process and answers all questions. highly recommended

I only have wonderful things to say about Dr. Rob, his staff and their care! OrthoK has turned out to be the best things I ever did for my eyes and overall wellness, and they have been incredibly patient and thoughtful with me through the process. Ive worn glasses for almost 20 years, contact lenses dont work for me, and Ive been ineligible for surgical correction. I also work closely around horses, so glasses can be a hazard. After only about 2 weeks, I started seeing better than when I was a teenager! Nobody every told me OrthoK was an option -- Im so grateful that Dr. Rob showed me the door to freedom. Thanks team!!!

I was able to book an emergency eye appointment and the doctor was wonderful as well as thorough in explaining everything to me when he found an abrasion on my cornea. I am so grateful for him and his team!

After wearing RGP lenses for the last 45 years, I can without a doubt say that the lenses that Dr. Gerowitz provides are the best I have ever worn. When I had to move into bifocal lenses, the transition was seamless. I highly recommend Dr. Gerowitz and his staff if youre in need of contacts. In particular, rigid gas permeable lenses.

Excellent! My husband has been using ortho k for ten years.He swore it was superior.He was right. This is so much better than daily contact wearing. I was blurry if my eyes were dry, always fussing.With ortho k my vision is perfectly consistent all day. No fussing.Can’t believe anyone wears daytime contacts!

This place is awesome. Dr. Gerowitz is phenomenal. The assistant Alma is very good at training kids. I was referred by many Chinese parents who say their kids vision havent changed or change very little after going there for several years. My sons( who are 10 and 11) have been there for less than a year so I am hoping their vision dont change(much) until they are 18 years old. I will keep you updated.

Our old daughter has been a patient in his office for 6 years and the treatment is wonderful. Our little daughter has been a patient in his office for 3 years. The first two years everything is fine. But last year her right eye can not get the right view. So Dr. Gerowitz keep checking her eyes every month. He also remaking the right eye mold twice free of charge. Finally, my daughter get the right view again. We are very happy with his service. We like his office staff also. They all did an excellent professional job!

We are really thankful to Dr. Rob. Our daughter has a very complicated prescription having high myopia and high astigmatism. Dr. Rob gave us hope that she can have mold lenses and have her day time vision clear. I was not sure that it will happen. He did his best to design her lenses and now she is enjoying clear vision all day long. I cant believe it !! and cant express my happiness!!Dr. Rob and his staff are very kind and helpful. He answered our all questions patiently. His staff trained my daughter perfectly. We are really grateful to you Dr. Rob. Thanks a ton doctor.

Dr. Rob was fabulous!!! He has served my entire family for years, but it was finally time for me to go in and get reading glasses. They were ready for me when I arrived, the testing was prompt and efficient. The staff helped me pick a great frame and were very patient with me. My glasses arrived in a few days and pickup was a snap.

My daughter (10 year old) has used ortho-k for more than 2 years in Houston. I’m so glad I can find Dr. Robert in Chicago. It was so stressful to find a new doctor, but Dr. Robert was very trustful and professional. He always listened well. If something got wrong, he tried to fix it and gave a best result. He let me know how to care a mold with proper way, and it was so easy and saved a lot of time. Also I really appreciate his work and happy to work with my daughter.

Very knowledgable doctor. Mentor to many optometrist who want to learn about orthokeratology! I would recommend Dr Gerowitz to those who are serious about myopia control in children!! Great doctor!!

Review №24

My 11 year old is doing great with the ortho-k recommended by Dr. Rob. Hearing about this for the first time a year and a half ago we were amazed at the option to have our son avoid glasses and sports goggles or contacts (which would need to be up dated year after year after year) and instead wear gentle shaping molds while he sleeps. His vision is now better than 20/20!I wish this was an option back when I was a 10-year-old who needed glasses!

I cannot begin to say what Dr Gerowitz has done for me! I have dealt with cornea disease for 35 years. Ive been to many doctors and had many lenses fitted for me. Dr. Rob was the only one who took the time to find the perfect fit for my lenses that were both very comfortable and helped me see nearly 20/20. Hes also been an incredible resource, ready to answer my questions and help me any time of day! Literally!! His staff is amazing and I highly recommend them. Thank you Dr. Rob for all youve done for me!

After visiting Dr. Gerowitz’s office, I was pleased to have walked out with an honest and reliable answer. His staff is extremely welcoming and open to everyone, making them feel a lot more comfortable, which is imperative when seeing ANY doctor. Dr. Gerowitz himself presents a great ability to explain the medical conditions to patients in ways which make them seem more understandable, allowing for full transparency. Honest doctor and an incredibly smart guy. Would recommend to my own friends and family 100%!!!

Dr. Robert Gerowitz is wonderful. I have astigmatism and am near sided pretty bad. I have been told in the past I won’t get to 20/20 and just have to deal with it.Dr. Gerowitz proved them all wrong! My vision is great! He is so wonderful and the rest of the staff has excellent customer service. They are all so friendly and make you feel very welcome.I can not recommend them enough! Also ask about Ortho K lenses, they have changed my life.

Our child started kindergarten in August. Last December she had a new prescription of her glasses but by the end of the school year she was already having trouble seeing. Her eyes had gotten much worse. 09/01/17 she got her corneal eye molds for the first time. In two weeks we saw a dramatic improvement in her handwriting. After four weeks she was starting to learn how to read. She can see now thanks to her corneal eye molds.

I hadnt had an eye exam in a few years and decided it was finally time. Im so glad I went to see Dr. Gerowitz! His staff was efficient, thorough, and professional. Dr. Gerowitz answered all of my questions and takes wonderful care of his patients. I left with a new pair of glasses that I absolutely love! I would highly recommend Dr. Gerowitz.

Dr. Gerowitz is a passionate and highly respected member of the optometric community. He has always provided the most comprehensive care and offers his patients treatment modalities not offered by many other doctors. His myopia control treatments are among the top in the country. As an optometrist myself, he has personally helped me incorporate those treatment modalities into my own practice.I would recommend him without reservation.

My daughter is very happy about the ortho-k treatment. She had some struggle in the very beginning, but after one month, she had become very good at putting the lenses in and out. Dr Gerowitz and his staff are always very friendly and helpful. We definitely would recommend this to other friends.

Dr. Gerowitz is lippy and rude. And he treats patient, their family and his employees like lowbrow people. He handles patients arrogantly, it was very difficult to bear.Maybe he is Doctor but seriously need to have some respect for other people.

I have been a patient of Dr. Gerowitz for over 20 years. Couldnt be happier; Dr. Gerowitz is a most thorough practitioner. I am also most impressed by his knowledgeable, friendly and professional staff. They truly take care of the details. I changed most of my health care professionals when I moved from Rolling Meadows to Geneva; but not Dr. Gerowitz, to me his office and his personal care are worth the trip.

I knew about Dr. Robert Gerowitz and orthok lens by my friends strong recommendations. My 7 y/o son has astigmatism and he has also quite different eyesight in both eyes, but after starting GSS program, he no longer needs to wear his glasses and is free from glasses.He is happy and he is very satisfied with the Gentle shaping system program.

Dr Gerowitz stands behind his work. I had a frame that failed shortly after I received them and they were promptly replaced when it was determined the frame was defective. I highly recommend Dr Gerowitz for all you vision needs.

Dr Gerowitz has been excellent! My son had 20/2400 vision & wore glasses since he was 5. He’s now 8, while using the OrthoK system, he only wears contacts when he sleeps & has perfect vision (20/20) and no glasses during the day! We have been thrilled with the service & care that Dr Gerowitz & his staff have shown.

We first brought our 9 year old to see Dr. Robert Gerowitz, three months ago. We were skeptical at first. However, we have seen incredible results and could not be more pleased. What sets Dr. Robert Gerowitz and his staff appart from other providers, is their ability to connect with children. We highly recommend Dr. Robert Gerowitz and the ortho-k contacts treatment.

Review №47

I have two sons (ages 8 and 10) who are currently patients of Dr. Gerowitz (aka Dr. Rob) and undergoing orthokeratology treatment. We have a history of high myopia in our family, and after seeing a significant increase in my sons’ prescriptions in less than a year, I wanted to be proactive in limiting their progression of myopia. My 10 year old started the ortho-k program first about 10 months ago, and a couple of months later my 8 year old was also being fitted for his first set of ortho-k contact lens molds. They are doing absolutely great!! My 8 year old has mastered insertion and removal of his contact lens molds.Dr. Rob is a very knowledgeable and compassionate Optometrist. He is an expert in the field of ortho-keratology and has extensive experience in fitting more complex cases. I also happen to be an Optometrist and had no reservations in taking my children to see Dr. Rob. My 8 year old has a complex prescription, myopia with significant astigmatism, and Dr. Rob fit him successfully. My sons both enjoy their visits to Dr. Rob’s office and religiously wear their ortho-k contacts nightly. As well as controlling their myopia progression, another advantage they enjoy is that there is no longer a need to wear glasses (or any correction) during the day. My 10 year old was always reluctant to wear his glasses.I have no reservations in referring others to Dr. Rob’s practice!

I am constantly amazed at the level of enthusiasm Dr. Gerowitz conveys about the exciting field of orthokeratology. Dr. G, an early adopter, has been involved in the field nearly from its inception. OrthoK is finally being recognized as a wonderful alternative to daytime contact lens wear, as well as a weapon for slowing childhood nearsightedness.For many years, he has joined a group of us as we teach new doctors to perform orthoK correctly and safely. Thanks for your help Rob.Caroline Guerrero Cauchi, OD, FIAO

Review №57

The most basic pure myopia OrthoK that the eldest daughter is doing here. When I was in the first year, I said that the next year, the follow up was $450, and the result turned into $525 in the second year. It is required to go every year and not to accept insurance. The eldest daughter was busy last year, and missed the follow up. As a result, the day before yesterday, from the nurse to the doctor, the attitude was indifferent, like what he owed him. At the time of settlement, the price was raised to $725 plus a $130 basic inspection fee! One question, saying that it was because last year did not come, causing trouble, this year will be added. I dont understand what caused the trouble, the same inspection, the same glasses. Nothing at all! We would rather go to other doctors to redo and not be slaughtered here. This attitude! Fortunately, the second daughter did not use this doctor, attitude, technology is good, follow up the price is reasonable ($400, insurance company also cover 200, a lens of money). Remind that everyone should be careful when choosing a doctor.
