Great doctor for adults with strabismus
Dr Breckenridge is an excellent surgeon/physician. I had a very complex case of strabismus, compounded by cataracts & Meniere's disease. Dr B worked with me to correct my double vision with prisms while I worked on my MD recovery and had multiple cataract surgeries. She performed my strabismus surgery flawlessly. My vision is now 20/20! YAY! The medial rectus recession is tricky (especially on an older adult like me), but she nailed it & I am so thankful. Dr B was super patient with me as I asked tons of questions during my visits/recovery. Her staff was also patient & helpful. Yes, the office is very busy & there can be a wait, but the waiting area is filled with adorable children! With children, sometimes examinations go long & they fall behind, but they are always thorough & don't rush you when it is your turn. I highly recommend Dr B for anyone of any age with strabismus. She really knows her stuff & is dedicated to helping her patients improve their vision and recover!!

BEWARE: Office Does Not Ever Answer The Telephone
* it took a full 6 months for their office to answer the phone during normal business hours * they do not return messages so don't waste your time leaving one * Once contacted they will push the first available appointment another 3-4 months (at best) * if you want to see this provider you'll need to plan at least 12 months from the initial contact before surgery might be an option * they will refer you to other uneducated doctors with no experience and 1 star reviews that leave a phone greeting. "sorry our office is closed" and then hangs up. (again during normal business hours) Overall Satisfaction: Less than 1 Star - This office should be put out of business.

Scheduling is the worst. Takes weeks to get appointment, then they randomly cancel a couple days before the appointment. Don’t waste your time.

Huge wait and a lot of repetitive paperwork; after an hour, I had to tell them we have another appointment and then we had two practitioners performing essentially the same testing for my daughter. Nothing different than the testing performed at a other eye doctors we visited for other family members. Very rushed appointment and high cost. They bill medical insurance and charge $95 for refraction which visual insurance doesn't cover. Also, terrible attitude when I asked about the $95 and the reason why they bill medical and not visual - I was just trying to understand the process. Overall very disappointing experience. Will not return.

Dr Breckenridge corrected eye muscle problems for me that relieved me from years of annoyance and eye fatigue. The followup care was superb. Many thanks to the whole office for excellent service.

My pediatrician referrede her. My daughter is 6 and after a series of tests, she diagnosed my daughter myopia and prescribed her 150 eye glasses without clearly explain if there are other treatment options. I felt she took light decision for a young child! Please if you see her, valid her prescription with a second opinion or avoid seeing her at all. I will take my little girl to see another doctor referred by a friend of mine. Her sons are 11 and 9, both nearsighted. They started treatment wit
