Dr. Anthony Marciano

Dr. Marciano is an excellent dr. However there is a policy to give out candy to the kids when they pick up their glasses. I was assured by the office manager that no one has complained before and parents love it. How many parents love their kids being given candy?

I am wholly convinced that Dr. Marciano saved the vision in my right eye. I have Sjogren's Syndrome (an autoimmune disease that, among other things, causes severe dry eyes). I woke during the night unable to open my right eye (from the dryness) and wound up ripping the top layer of my cornea, causing am unbearably "stabbing" painful situation. By the time I saw him two days later, I had an infection (I didn't call right away because I figured it was an autoimmune issue and had to suffer through it; I didn't realize I ripped my cornea). The vision in my right eye dropped to 20/60 with my glasses (when I could open it at all). He put me on four eyedrop medicines around-the-clock (every 15 minutes!) and saw me every day for almost two weeks (including Saturday, Sunday, and Memorial Day, when the office was closed). He adjusted my meds and dosage as needed and told me to call or text him if I needed him at any time. I honestly thought I would not regain my eyesight; it was so painful, and my vision was like looking through a terrible fog for many days. Even if the pain subsided briefly, there was an acute "burning" that prevented me from opening my eyes or even moving them side-to-side under my eyelids. I ask A LOT of questions, and Dr. Marciano patiently answered every one. He even drew me pictures to illustrate what was going on. Dr. Marciano is an incredibly knowledgeable, skilled, and kind doctor. I am SO GRATEFUL to him for fixing my eyesight and suggesting we put punctal plugs in my eye ducts, which keep them from draining as quickly. (I am writing this two weeks post-situation, and the difference is incredible. I still need over-the-counter eyedrops many times each day, but with proper hydration, nutrition, and computer habits, I believe I will be able to manage my AI disease. I have been going to Dr. Marciano for countless years for my annual checkups (as does my son and mother, and my grandparents did, too, years ago). I trust him immensely. He shows his muscles whenever more than a checkup is needed. He is AMAZING. I give all the gold stars to Dr. Marciano, my eyecare quarterback. Forever thanks to you, Dr. Marciano! PS - The person who gave the office a 3-star review for "giving kids candy" while saying Dr. Marciano is an excellent doctor shouldn't be allowed near a computer. (1) This Google review space is for DR. MARCIANO, "not" the office, so she shouldn't bring down his star rating for something other than HIS service. (2) When you purchase glasses or upgrade your prescription, you get a complimentary bag with eye glass cleaner/wipes and a tiny box of four chocolates. They do not "target" children; every person gets this. If you don't care for it, just say no. Personally, "I" also say no, but this doesn't change my rating for DR. MARCIANO. Ma'am, you should maintain integrity and either remove or update your review correctly. When someone looks at Dr. Marciano's star rating, they won't know that your dissatisfaction is over your kid not having candy, which has nothing at all to do with the doctor's service.
