Since reading the eye chart takes about 1 minute and a typical eye exam takes an average of just 15 minutes, it is impossible to fully evaluate all the visual skills that can cause vision problems in that period of time. This is why
Dr. Wintrob’s full vision evaluation takes 45 minutes.

One of the problems with traditional care is that doctors often dictate solutions to their patients and may even get defensive when questioned. Dr. Wintrob believes that you are the expert on your needs and should therefore be an active participant in your own healing. Dr. Wintrob will spend real time with you explaining his findings and will also describe the different options for treatment. Then you and Dr. Wintrob, as a team, will decide on what is the best course of action. In this way, you will have a feeling of empowerment.

Dr. Wintrob provides genuine safety and caring for his patients. You are not just another person in a long line. By engaging in a team process with him, your healing will be facilitated and can occur more rapidly.

Everyone gets a full comprehensive eye exam as described above. For convenience, Dr. Wintrob also provides eyeglasses and contact lenses on site so that he can feel confident that the lenses worn by his patients are properly made and will complement the healing process.
