Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Fine is the best!
Dr Fine’s surgical skill and his professionalism are second to none. His entire staff at three offices I have visited are top notch as well. I had successful macular hole surgery and regained 95% of my vision in an eye that could not see much. Thank you to this wonderful doctor who explained every step of the surgery and recovery/ follow up.

Two failed surgeries and counting
Two failed attempts to repair detached retina. Now need third try to repair eye. Very little explanation from doctor . Ignored my two questions. Now another doctor will perform surgery. Im devastated on all levels. This may cause me to not be able to work in my job. Definitely cause financial distress. Going on two months with this. Is this normal? Cant be. Something is not right here.and im suffering for it.

Dr Fine is the best. NO! doctors are not all the same. Dr Fine is excellent and a cut above many. If I can't get an appointment locally I will travel to Edison to see Dr. Fine. The staff that works with him raves about him. No surprise there. A n easy 5 start rating.

I've been going to him since I lost vision in my eye in 2017. He found things wrong that other doctors missed. To me he is very complete in his exam. I wish I would have known about him as soon as I had a problem I would highly recommend him .

All staff members were courteous, efficient and prompt. They perform a variety of tests prior to the meeting with Dr. Fine. In my meeting with Dr. Fine I found him to be knowledgeable and professional. He provided me with an update of my condition along with recommendations based on his assessments of the tests performed in his office. I consider him to be thorough and knowledgeable and he is very clear in explaining information to me.

I was referred to Dr. Fine for an urgent appointment on a Friday afternoon before Christmas Holiday. I was very lucky to got my retinal tears repaired with laser surgery by Dr. Fine without delay. Unbelievable service from every member of this practice. Everyone was very helpful, friendly and caring. Dr. Fine is great- professional, thorough and lovely. He saved my eye!
