Doctor James Kirszrot is very professional and competent. This is my second time consulting him about an eyelid procedure. My first procedure involved correcting the problem of my lower eyelid eyelashes curling into my eye. Results were excellent with minimum discomfort. I will now have both upper eyelids shortened to improve my vision. I have full confidence that the procedure will be successful.rater8 Verified Patient

Last week was my fourth office visit with Dr. Kirszrot and have seen him twice more for surgery. He has explained every step so I was very comfortable. He answered all my questions and helped me understand what was going to happen . He was kind and patient and did an amazing job. I am incredibly pleased with the outcome and have already recommended him to 3 of my friends. I have also seen Dr. Patel and my husband has switched to her as well. Everyone I have had contact with in this practice from the office staff , the technicians and the doctors have treated me with kindness and respect. I would recommend this practice to anyone looking for eye care. Thank you for taking such good care of me and my eyes!!!Patient Submitted Review

I had a great experience at the office of Dr. James Kirszot. I was recommended to him by my primary eye doctor, to remove a sty from my eyelid. The initial consultation visit was a success. The staff were very friendly to clients and among themselves. Dr. Kirszot was direct and to the point, which I know isn't for everyone, but it was a perfect fit for me. I felt comfortable and at ease with his knowledge and expertise. I highly recommend this practice for anyone looking for a doctor to take care of all your eye needs.rater8 Verified Patient

I felt in very experienced hands with this doctor. He made me feel very secure.Others mentioned the long wait to see him. I was told when I made the appointment there may be a delay in the starting time. I understand, he's doing surgeries so it makes sense that all types of issues could come up, even traffic.People at front desk were friendly. Seems like a very efficient office and when I need my yearly eye exam in a few months, I'll be making an appointment at this office.Patient Submitted Review

We were recommended to Dr. Kirszrot by our pediatric ophthalmologist for a plastics procedure for my young son. He is busy, which seems the case with all doctors, but was not difficult to schedule an appointment. As routine of a procedure it was for him to perform and a new one for us, we felt like we were in excellent hands, the surgical center we used was extremely friendly and his assistant who took care of all our needs was amazing. We are very pleased with the outcome.
