Dr. Rachitskaya was very friendly, efficient and, most importantly, interested in learning about me and the vision changes I've experienced since having cataract surgery. She helped me to better understand the causes of my symptoms and suggested ways to minimize them. She seemed genuinely concerned for my well-being.

Had severe eye problem In January and wanted to see Dr. Rachitskaya. Was told her first available appointment was in May. Had to see a doctor I didn't know. You require these doctors to fill up every second of every day so there is no provision for emergencies; that's not right.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/20/2025
Alexandra is an amazing physician.She discusses her findings, includes me in the plans going forward and follows up with my regular Ophthalmologist. She also remembers previous conversations and refers to them. Like seeing a friend rather than someone who doesn't relate.
