Angrist Richar

I should have read the reviews here prior to making an appointment at Angrist's office in Point Pleasant. The office itself doesn't seem clean, it's cluttered and dated. Angrist himself rushes you through his exam, which will last 2 minutes after his asst. does the crux of the work, cuts you off if you speak, and rushes you right out. He actually admitted to me he doesn't have patience with people. Take his word for it.

Do NOT go here and if you do, don't say I didn't warn you. I made an appt months in advance, I called to confirm the week before my appt, and when I showed up I was turned away. They said I needed a referral to see them. It sounded funny to me and when I checked with my insurance I found I DID NOT need a referral. My bigger issue with them is that I had been there before without a referral and I was never told prior to my appt that I would need one, even when I called to confirm. Very disappointed that they didn't consider my time valuable. Would NOT recommend.

I have been going to Dr. Angrist in NJ even though I live in NY. I had an eye emergency that was misdiagnosed by the Emergency room over the holidays some years ago. He took care of it, and I have been going for check ups since.

I usually do not take the time to write reviews but felt compelled to do so given the poor service and lack of professionalism from this facility. I am actually surprised this office has maintained its business throughout the years but can only assume it's based mainly on the highly populated area in which it is located. I will spare you all the details of the poor service I received from the technician and Dr. Angrist and just say in short, that I was treated terribly as a "new" patient when there was a direct error with my prescription order on their end. Please save your time and your money and go somewhere else deserving of your business and that will provide the level of care you should feel as a patient.

I went to the Pt Pleasant office. Very small parking area. Very crowded waiting room. Remarkably I was seen on time but felt shuttled between this room for this exam and that room for that exam. Probably spent 5 minutes with Dr Angrist who appeared harried and overwhelmed but didn't appear to be concerned about me and my eye care needs.

So I was kind of nervous to go here with the mixed reviews. Dr. Angrist was good he did my exam Within 20 mins of me being in office. The only thing I did not like about this office is they DO NOT have glasses to choose from. I was wrote a script I go to order glasses online because I have no idea where to now order glasses. I call office for my pd and I'm told I am not allowed to know my pd which now leaves me lost on where and how I can purchase glasses.

Because I am not even sure what a pd is! I have never been to an office where they do not have glasses in office. It's just weird but besides that he's not a bad doctor he's very caring and polite. As far as exams go I recommend!

My mom sees Dr Angrist and has cataract surgery done by Dr Cohen who's in the same practice & it's been an excellent experience. Otherwise he wouldn't be featured on Top Doctors consistently for decades! Yes, I agree it's always crowded and the doctor is not sitting and chatting with you - but isn't that what defines a successful practice? That there's more patients lined up to see him because he's good at what he does.

He interacts with patients as needed - I'm not there to spend idle time anyway, so I like a doctor to be thorough, professional and quick. The staff is efficient and keeps the line moving. I'd go back there any day!

When I saw the negative post about Dr. Angrist I had to respond. Dr. Angrist is a brilliant doctor, he cares about his patients and goes above and beyond. To the lady who says he eats while seeing his patients, its because he doesnt take a lunch break so he can see patients, I dont care if he eats because he is a great eye doctor. People saying he is rude, not so!

He cares about his patients and wants to make sure you follow his instructions so you get better. Dr. Angrist is a great doctor and top notch in his field. I truly trust Dr. Angrist and would go no place else and either would the people in his crowded waiting room.

If I could give a zero rating, I would. I do not know what is the problem with this individual titled Dr. Angrist. I feel ashamed to even call him a doctor because from my experience and the doctors I dealt with, they are mostly kind and not so plain rude. Unlike his staff, he is extremely rude and impatient. I felt a sense of validation in a way when I saw the comments of other patients who have the same view as mine and it's not that I was sensitive.

I saw few nice reviews about him and that makes me believe either he might be the type of doctor who put money above humanity or some of those reviews are fake. Shame on you, Angrist! Be nice and what a good doctor should be!

I recently had an appointment with Dr. Angrist and I was extremely DISSATISFIED with his service. He was extremely rude to his staff and to me. I felt very uncomfortable with the way he "bossed" around his employees and the aggressive tone he took with them and with me as well. During my exam he seemed to be in a rush. While I was in the middle of my contact fitting with the other optometrist, I was sitting in the chair with my head tilted back (with one contact lens in one eye ) and Dr. Angrist walks into the room and says "I'll finish up the exam", he rips the file from the other optometrist's hand and taps my knee escorting me out of the room.

Upon entering his office, he continued being rude and abrupt with me. I left my appointment feeling so upset and extremely uncomfortable- I could not believe how unprofessional he was. Aside from Dr. Angrist, everyone else at the practice was very nice and helpful. He should take note from his staff and learn from their positive interpersonal skills.
