I love my appointments with Dr. Barad because he is so clear and concise with his explanations. His answers are practical and helpful, but also I can tell that he has done his research and knows what he is talking about. No question is ever dismissed; he listens and responds respectfully.

This was the second visit my 87-year-old mother has had an appointment with Dr. Barad over a troubling eye issue. He is conscientious, gives a thorough explanation as to the issue and how to deal with it, and is really wonderful to deal with.

I was very impressed with this facility. The eye care that I received was very professional. I was treated very well by the staff, however, I had to wait in a long line just to check in. I cannot complain too much as I was there on an emergency visit that they were kind enough to get me worked in. I was extremely impressed with Dr. Scott Smetana and the treatment I received. Dr. Smetana immediately found the problem for the eye pain I was experiencing, explained to me exactly what his procedure would be to fix the problem and how long the healing time would be. Dr. Smetana is an excellent doctor, very professional and very gentle with his treatment . I recommend Dr. Smetana to anyone seeking a great eye doctor.

Dr. Barad has been amazing for my eye care. He has provided me help and information when I have had two injuries to one of my eyes. He has reassured me that the temporary loss of vision is due to migraines. He has educated me about what I can do to help keep my eyes healthy - especially because there is a family history of both glaucoma and macular degeneration.
