My visit was ok, however I waited too long (an hour )at the waiting area.

Surgery can be a worrisome ordeal. Yet my experience at River Drive Surgery & Laser was one of excellent professionalism and a very safe environment. Dr. Confino and the staff at River Drive Surgery & Laser are second to none. Highly recommend them.

I am leaving this review as someone who dropped off, waited for, and will drive home my husband who is having cataract surgery. I dropped him off at 6:20. He was greeted at the door. I was told between 2 hours and 2 1/2. Due to covid, people can not long wait in the waiting room like my husband did 8 years ago when I had my eyes done here. but could use the ladies room (which was immaculate) and the cafe in the basement (there is a whole office building above the surgery center). I posted a picture of of the seating area of the cafe- at 8ish the we only 3 people at eh tables. There were a limited number of items but they looked fresh and tasty, and very fairly priced. I posted photos of the menus and food- the bagels were HUGE.
